Former secretary of state and potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will fire up volunteers and stump for key Colorado Democrats Tuesday afternoon at a rally in Aurora.

This installment in U.S. Sen. Mark Udall's nearly three-week get-out-the-vote bus tour puts the focus on the 6th Congressional District. Democrat Andrew Romanoff, a former Colorado House speaker, is challenging three-term Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in one of the most competitive districts in the nation.

Last week, Udall who's been trailing or deadlocked with Republican Rep. Cory Gardner in several polls was joined by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who fired up crowds in Englewood and Boulder.

On Thursday, First Lady Michelle Obama will take part in rallies in Denver and Fort Collins.

Clinton will speak Tuesday during the 1 p.m. event at the Radisson Denver Southeast hotel. Also set to talk are Udall, Romanoff, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. John Hickenlooper, who's running for re-election against Republican Bob Beauprez.

Campaign offices gave out all available tickets to supporters and volunteers.

Ahead of Tuesday's appearance by "the Clinton campaign machine," as Coffman's campaign characterized it, Coffman seized on the moment to hit up supporters for contributions in a fundraising e-mail.

"This is the No. 1 race in America," Coffman campaign manager Tyler Sandberg told The Denver Post, adding: "Liberals are pulling out all the stops" to help Romanoff.

Republicans also have been bringing in big names to help them campaign. On Monday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared at an event with Beauprez.
