Lamm Files Petition Signatures

  • 8 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Democrat Peggy Lamm?today filed more than 3,000?petition signatures, which all but guarantees that she will make the primary ballot in CD-7. Click below for the full press release…

Today, Peggy Lamm, Democratic candidate for Colorado?s 7th Congressional District, submitted 3315 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State?s office to be listed on the August 8 primary ballot.

?I am overwhelmed by the broad support that I?ve received during my campaign.? Coloradans clearly want to see change in Washington and know I am the candidate who has the spine to stand up for our state?s working families,? said Lamm.? ?As I have been collecting signatures door-to-door, I?ve heard from countless Coloradans who believe it?s time to end the way the President and the Republicans in Congress have been doing business in Washington.? People are sick and tired of this administration?s failures on gas prices, Iraq, health care and a host of other issues, and they?re ready for a big change.??

Lamm announced in March that she would petition her name onto the primary ballot instead of taking the caucus route.

?Part of the problem in Washington these days is that the voices of regular people are not heard. I wanted to reach out by going door-to-door to encourage more participation in the primary election process.? I?m honored that over 3000 Coloradans signed my petition,? said Lamm.

Lamm Campaign Director Jim Merlino added that operatives for Ed Perlmutter?s campaign discussed their plans to challenge Lamm?s petition signatures at this weekend?s State Assembly.

?The Perlmutter campaign is well aware that they are losing this race by a significant margin, and they know that their best chance to win the primary is a Hail Mary attempt to keep Peggy off the ballot,? said Merlino.? ?Such a desperate challenge will fail badly, and would be nothing more than a slap in the face to the 3300 Coloradans who want Peggy Lamm on the ballot.?

Lamm collected over 1000 of the petition signatures herself.? She was joined in her efforts by staff and 20 volunteers.?

  1. I won’t flame, but I wouldn’t call challenging signatures a “desperate” move. That’s what campaigns do. Obviously they knew that, otherwise they wouldn’t have collected 3000 of them. Lots of signatures turn out to be improperly obtained/recorded/configured, no matter who is doing the collecting or how careful you are.

  2. An impressive amount collected, particularly by her personally.

    As far as challenging the signatures–standard procedure by any campaign. I’d hardly call it “a desperate challenge.” Nothing like a little campaign spin.

  3. Ken Chlouber always thought she was a hottie that is why they were an item when they both served in the house.  I am still waiting for the picture of the two of them in matching cowboy shirts on his motorcycle to show up.

    Her first flirtation with a republican was not Bill Owens, but Ken Chlouber, and everyone who was around the legislature during her one term is well aware of it. 

    What you do will always come back to haunt you.  Negative mail will point out her fixation with Rs.

  4. Since when is giving voters a choice such a bad thing.  Ed, Peggy, Herb bring it on and let the voters choose.  The only reason to challenge signatures is when one candidate is fearful of choice.  Ww will soon find out which one of the three this is.
