After a short-notice visit to Galvanize Golden Triangle on Tuesday, June 28, Hillary Clinton and her campaign had some more news in store for Colorado.

The Clinton campaign has announced that it will open a new office in Colorado Springs today, July 3, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Pete Lee and Tony Exum, both Democratic state representatives, were scheduled to attend the 1 p.m. opening at the 2914 Beacon St. location, the Gazette reported.

The campaign already has offices in Aurora, Boulder, Fort Collins, West Denver and Wheat Ridge and plans to open additional locations in Centennial, Grand Junction, Greeley and Pueblo in the coming month, according to the Gazette.
