On a Sunday morning – just two days before Election Day, in the hardest campaign fight of his political life – Republican Mike Coffman sat in the front row of the largest Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church in the state. In 2012, Coffman’s district was redrawn, becoming far more diverse – shifting it from solidly Republican to a battleground district. Coffman has distanced himself from President Trump over the last two years, especially on issues of immigration. “I mean, I am concerned about the level of outside spending that has come in here,” Coffman said. “It is very difficult this election to convince our people that Congressman Mike Coffman is not supporting, you know, 100 percent of what Trump does,” Alemayehu said.
