Biography
Considine attended Harvard University for his undergraduate degree and later attended Harvard Law School.
He served as a Republican member of the Colorado Senate from 1987 to 1992. He 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.
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. Campbell later became a Republican while still in office and was re-elected as a Republican in 1998.
He is listed as member of the Leadership Council of the Club for Growth. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bradley Foundation.
