Sanders is locked in a primary battle with Hillary Clinton. And Colorado is seen by some local political consultants as a state where Sanders can capture a victory on March 1, Super Tuesday.

Sanders has dominated among young, independent voters in New Hampshire and Iowa.

The Clinton campaign says it has 30-second spots running on cable and broadcast outlets in the Denver area.
