Steve Hogan

(

... that the Republican mayor of Aurora, Colorado, Steve Hogan – in the news over the 2012 Aurora shooting – was the Democratic congressional candidate against Republican Jack Swigert of Apollo 13 fame?

The 198 character hook is sourced at the end of the paragraph. However, I think it needs to be re-stated somewhat so that readers understand why this man was in the news about the shootings. The article itself is no more clear on why he was in the news about that. Could you clarify that in the article, maybe do an Alt 1 hook, keeping it under 200 characters, but clarifying this man's ties to the shooting news? Other that that:

QPQ not needed for this self-nom
Article created on July 21, 2012 and has 2,623 characters of readable prose
Duplication Detector run, and no obvious copyvio
Every paragraph is sourced
Timely, NPOV, but I sectioned off the Awards and recognition in the article

My oversight. You say right at the beginning of the hook that he's the mayor of Aurora. This article is good to go. Maile66 (talk) 22:26, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
