UPDATED: Accused child molester briefly managed Hasan’s statehouse bid

The Pueblo man arrested Wednesday on charges he sexually assaulted a 5-year-old boy while working as the manager of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign for southern Colorado also managed the campaign of Republican state legislative candidate Muhammad Ali Hasan for two months in 2007, according to state records.

He also wants to see a similar train along the I-25 corridor.
