Gardner: Congresswoman Markey is not listening to the 4th District
Fort
Collins, Colorado – Today, the Denver Post reported that Congresswoman
Betsy Markey will go against the wishes of the 4th Congressional
District and vote for the pending healthcare legislation. State
Representative Cory Gardner, the leading Republican challenger to face
Markey in November, pledged that if elected he will vote to repeal the
healthcare legislation.
“The
residents of the 4th Congressional District have sent a clear message
to Congresswoman Markey: do not vote for the healthcare legislation,”
said Gardner. “She has decided not to listen to her district. When I am
elected in November I will listen to the wishes of the 4th District. I
will work and vote to repeal the healthcare legislation.”
Added
Gardner: “If this legislation passes, taxes will go up,” continued
Gardner. “This bill will inevitably lead to fewer choices in
healthcare, fewer jobs and sweeping cuts to Medicare to the direct
detriment of our and senior citizens.”
Cory
Gardner is a native of Yuma, Colorado where he helps to run the family
business. Earlier this week, Gardner swept the Larimer and Weld County
preference polls. Yesterday, one of Gardner’s main competitors, Diggs
Brown, exited the race and endorsed Gardner. Gardner is currently
serving the 63rd District in the Colorado House of Representatives. He
and his wife Jaime live in Yuma with their six- year old daughter
Alyson.
