Departing U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman reflects on Donald Trump and eyes the Aurora mayor’s office

Coffman, 63, has served almost continuously in elected office since 1989, except during overseas military service in the Persian Gulf and Iraq wars. He had survived three consecutive strong Democratic challenges in his redrawn swing district.
