Hudak was one of the Colorado State senators who voted for gun laws that disarmed lw-abiding citizens while doing nothing to disarm lawbreakers. Two other state lawmakers who did the same, have already been recalled and kicked out.
Even as she heads for the door, she still doesn't get it. The reason she resigned rather than facing recall, was so that Democrats could appoint her replacement, instead of letting the people choose via an election. The "danger" of their choosing someone who respected their right to keep and bear arms, was too much for her.
She also chickened out of a press conference she set up, to avoid the inevitable questions from people who might disagree.
Consistent character to the last.

Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak has resigned her seat to forestall a recall effort launched by constituents who sought to oust her for her support of gun-control laws passed in the legislature this spring.
The senator made the announcement in a letter to Democratic leadership Wednesday. She did not attend a news conference scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the Arvada Library that was scheduled to make her decision public.
"By resigning I am protecting these important new laws for the good of Colorado and ensuring that we can continue looking forward," Hudak wrote in her resignation letter in regard to her gun votes.
Hudak's move ends the recall process, as now a Democratic vacancy committee can appoint someone to fill her seat until 2014.
