EXCLUSIVE — Former Parker, Colorado, Mayor Greg Lopez carries a Rorschach test in his pocket that shows both a young and old woman depending on the viewer’s perspective — a symbol of the way he plans to approach conversations with House members if elected to replace Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) in a special election this summer.

Sitting outside in a park behind the Longworth House Office Building, Lopez showed the Washington Examiner the picture, explaining that the analogy represents how he holds discussions with people on the “opposite side” of his position.
