Now that the last ballots have been counted, I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the significant contributions you have made to my campaign.
This victory is shared by all of the volunteers and countless supporters. Thank you for your many hours of hard work, phone calls, financial support and well wishes.
It is hard to believe that over a year ago I made the decision to get in this race. Since then, I have traveled all across the district and met so many remarkable people. Regardless of party affiliation, it quickly became apparent that we all want the same thing: a better, stronger America.
This office is an enormous responsibility and one that will never be taken lightly. It is the responsibility to deliver a nation to generations yet to be born, and it is our obligation to ensure these future Americans are blessed with even more opportunity than those we have been blessed with.
In order to accomplish that, I believe we must cut spending, put an end to the wasteful disregard of the taxpayers’ dollar, get government out of the way and let America work.
Although the campaign has ended, our work is just beginning. Republicans are not going to compromise with our principles this time around. We will not increase taxes or go down the path of earmarks that have symbolized everything that is wrong with Washington D.C.
But it is time for Republicans and Democrats to work together to balance the budget and cut spending.
I look forward to working with you in the future as well to restore our nation’s greatness. Please know that my door will always be open, and I will never forget my roots.
Thank you and God bless,

CCJL is the only organization in Colorado focused exclusively on stopping lawsuit abuse while preserving a system of civil justice that fairly compensates victims of wrongdoing.

In addition to honoring lawmakers, CCJL's Awards Luncheon will feature keynote speaker Sherman "Tiger" Joyce, president of the American Tort Reform Association. For more information, go to www.CCJL.org.

Gardner Owns 4th CD Debate
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Challenger Cory Gardner hammered Democrat Rep. Betsy Markey for her record of deficit spending and growing government in the first debate in the race for the 4th Congressional District.
Audible hissing and booing could be heard when Markey tried to defend her record on healthcare. The audience also cheered loudly when Gardner repeatedly told Markey she needed to "read the bill" that is the centerpiece of her latest misleading attack ad.
"This debate presented a clear choice: do the people of the 4th CD want a candidate who favors deficit spending and more government intrusion in our lives, or do they want a candidate who will cut taxes and cut government and get the economy back on track," said Rachel Boxer, spokeswoman for the Gardner campaign.

Greeley Tribune, Longmont Times-Call and Loveland Reporter-Herald all endorse Gardner for 4th CD race
Monday, October 11, 2010
The Greeley Tribune, Longmont Times-Call and Loveland Reporter-Herald piled on the praise for challenger Cory Gardner, saying he is the candidate that would do the best job representing Colorado's 4th Congressional District.
The Tribune endorsement notes that Gardner’s strong agriculture roots make him the most suited to represent the political views of farmers and ranchers. They also lauded him for taking a strong position for the Northern Integrated Supply Project, a water storage project supported by most agriculture groups in Northern Colorado.
Democrat Congresswoman Betsy Markey has failed for three years to even take a position on NISP.
The Times-Call and Reporter-Herald wrote about the dynamics of the 4th CD, saying that the people traditionally have an independent to conservative approach to national issues. “This would tend to support the candidacy of Gardner, who is more likely to resist vast federal spending that Markey has been involved in….” the papers wrote in the endorsement. “This is a region where people still believe that hard work, determination and ingenuity will pay dividends for themselves and their communities in the future.”
