Have You Seen My District?

On Sunday, Republican Don Beezley kicked off his campaign to attempt to unseat popular incumbent State Representative Dianne Primavera in Colorado’s House District 33.  Unfortunately, he kicked off is campaign in the wrong district.  The event was held in Jefferson County (House District 29) not Broomfield County (House District 33).

Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post takes over from there over at The Spot:

Matt Gray, chair of the Broomfield County Democrats, couldn’t resist and sent out a news release about the kickoff location.

“We look forward to a spirited debate about the best road forward for the citizens of House District 33, and we invite Mr. Beezley to come on over whenever he’s ready.

“We have lots of great restaurants, parks and neighborhoods in House District 33, and we’d be happy to show him around.”

. . . .

House District 29, by the way, is represented by Rep. Debbie Benefield, D-Arvada.

“I’d like to thank Mr. Beezley for supporting our local businesses here in Jefferson County,” she said. “In these tough economic times, I’m glad to know Don Beezley is putting the needs of Jefferson County first.”

On his website, Mr. Beezley says “It’s the people’s government-and the people want it back!”  Apparently he isn’t talking about “the people” he’s asking to represent.
