With All the Bad News, How Can the NRCC Recruit Candidates?
Watch Out, Betsy Markey. Cory Gardner Wants Your Job.
Friday, May 08, 2009
State House Republican whip Cory Gardner is officially challenging
Congresswoman Betsy Markey in Colorado’s expansive Fourth District in
2010, setting the stage for a possible GOP primary against University
of Colorado Regent Tom Lucero, Politico reports.
In a statement
to Fort Collins Now, Gardner (pictured) says he doesn’t think a primary
against Lucero–or possible other candidates, including former Fort
Collins City Councilman Diggs Brown and Larimer County Commissioner
Steve Johnson–will hurt the party.
In an aggressive campaign
last year, Markey, a Democrat, ousted Republican Marilyn Musgrave in a
56 percent to 44 percent vote even though the GOP’s presidential
candidate, John McCain, narrowly led President Barack Obama in the
district, according to this Congressional Quarterly blog.
Gardner
is a lawyer and was an aide to former U.S. Senator Wayne Allard. He was
appointed to the state House in 2005 and re-elected without an opponent
in 2008. Markey, meanwhile, continues to reach out to her district,
recently visiting Berthoud, a tiny town north of Longmont, to field
questions from residents about credit cards, the economy, and veterans,
according to the Berthoud Recorder. Read More
