Terry Considine
Terry Considine (born 1947) is the CEO of AIMCO, an American real estate investment trust that he helped found through various acquisitions and mergers.[1] He attended Harvard University for his undergraduate degree and later returned to Harvard for law school. He is also a former Republican member of the Colorado state Senate, having served from 1987 until 1992.[2]
Considine was the primary organizer of Coloradans Back in Charge, a grassroots initiative that led to Colorado being the first state to impose term limits on the governor, state legislature and congressional delegation.[2] He left the state Senate early in 1992 to pursue the open seat in the United States Senate created by the decision of Democrat Tim Wirth to forgo a bid for a second term. Considine was defeated in the 1992 general election by Democrat Ben Nighthorse Campbell.[3] Campbell later became a Republican while still in office and was re-elected as a Republican in 1998.
Considine is a son-in-law of former Georgia U.S. Representative Howard "Bo" Callaway (born 1927). He is married to Betsy Considine and has three children.
He is listed as member of the Leadership Council of the conservative Club for Growth which funds Tea Party and other Republican candidates and provides advertising and policy promotions for Republicans without naming a specific candidate through its 527 operations.[4]
