Janak Joshi[2] (born in Ahmedabad, India) is an American politician. Since January 9, 2013, Joshi has been the current representative for District 16 at the Colorado House of Representatives. He previously served a two year term in the District 14 seat from January 12, 2011 until January 9, 2013, at which time Colorado was re-district'ed.
Education
Joshi earned his MS from the University of Northern Colorado and his MD from Gujarat University.
2016 Republican Primary for House District 16
Rep. Janak Joshi was the only nominee at the March 26, 2016 caucus in his current seat for House District 16. However, he will still face a primary challenge from a former state representative who got his name officially on the ballot by having enough valid signatures in his petition drive.[3]
In Colorado, candidates can get on the ballot for state offices either by gaining at least 30 percent of the vote at the state caucus assemblies, or by collecting enough signatures from eligible registered voters in their district. The petition route is considered an expensive alternative to the preferred route of caucus nomination ... a "back door".
Elections
- 2012 Redistricted to District 16, and with incumbent Republican Representative Larry Liston running for Colorado Senate, Joshi ran unopposed for the June 26, 2012 Republican Primary, winning with 7,313 votes,[4] and won the three-way November 6, 2012 General election with 21,781 votes (68.2%) against Libertarian candidate Michael Giallombardo and American Constitution candidate David Rawe.[5]
- 2010 When District 14 Republican Representative Kent Lambert ran for Colorado Senate, Joshi was unopposed for both the August 10, 2010 Republican Primary, winning with 6,618 votes,[6] and the November 2, 2010 General election, winning with 20,352 votes.[7]
