If it comes down to Former City Council Member Diggs Brown who is currently serving in Africa, or Unidersity of Colorado Board of Regents member Tom Lucero, who will you vote for.

Both are considered ‘conservative’ and have support from different people. However come election day (possible) one of them will be chosen by CD-4 Republicans to run against freshman Congresswoman Markey.

Below is some information from both their websites of why they should be elected. In Diggs’ case it is his draft movement site.

LOVELAND, CO – Today Tom J. Lucero (R-Loveland) announced that he has formed an exploratory committee to

consider a run for Congress in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District.

“I want to thank those people who have unexpectedly called and encouraged me to run. It is because of the

overwhelming support and encouragement from those who have already committed to lend support that we have

formed this committee,” stated Lucero.

Lucero currently represents the 4th Congressional District as an elected member of the University of Colorado

Board of Regents, and has been elected twice to that post in district-wide elections. Lucero was first elected in

1998 and re-elected in 2004 with 72% of the vote.

Lucero has worked tirelessly the past ten years at the University of Colorado to keep budgets in check and tuition

affordable. He has fought against cost increases in higher education that are completely out of control and has

worked towards strengthening academic standards. Lucero believes that “education is the critical foundation to

ensuring our ongoing global competitiveness.”

Having owned and operated a business, Lucero knows first-hand the challenges facing business. Lucero

appreciates the ingenuity of American business, particularly the millions of small business owners who are the

engine that power our economy.

Lucero stated, “The path out of our current economic recession is to reduce hurdles and provide incentives for

businesses and entrepreneurs to create jobs and spur real economic growth. Large-scale handouts and giveaways

of taxpayer funds will not lead to long-term economic prosperity. The people of this district, Colorado, and the

country deserve better from politicians in Washington.”

Isn’t it time we elected a hero to Congress?

Diggs Brown is a Major in the U.S. Army Special Forces.  He’s on front lines in the Global War on Terror, even today protecting us from the terrorist threat.  There’s no more important vote that any member of Congress can make than the one that sends our men and women into harm’s way.  Diggs Brown has been there.  He knows the stakes.  We can count on him.

Isn’t it time we elected a Congressman who has fought for fiscal responsibility?When he’s back in Fort Collins, Diggs Brown is  a member of the Fort Collins City Council.  During the past four years he has worked to create jobs and reduce wasteful government spending.  His landmark NoCOST government transparency initiative empowered every citizen of Fort Collins to become a fiscal watchdog, rooting out government waste.

Isn’t it time we elected a Congressman who knows how to save and plan and budget for the future?

In his professional life, Diggs Brown is a financial advisor to Colorado families, small businesses, farmers and ranchers
