His bio is a bit funny somehow and he likes to donate to Republicans. Also, this from earlier in the year. He’s been in the/a race for months.

Bottom line is he doesn’t have a prayer and should probably be in a primary against Coffman. At least he’s blowing his own cash to figure it out! To be fair, while I know a few people who know him professionally, I’ve never met the guy.
Since I have been building a progressive network from the Aurora/E. Centennial area for years, I can tell you I have never heard of this guy before. I am a strong supporter of Joe’s, but I have to like a guy with a UAW background that grew up poorer than dirt. (Joe grew up in MI to a waitress and a teacher. Glad Coffman will have some competition from people who know what it is to really work for a living.)Note that is facebook page says, “Considering running for Congress”.

Location: Aurora, CO
Hometown: La Junta, CO
Birthday: March 4, 1951
Country: United States
Currently Running For Office: US Congress
State: Colorado
Party: Democratic Party
About: I’m a physician, small business owner, and lifelong Coloradan
Biography: I was born into a family that has worked hard for their entire lives. My father was a bean farmer. My mother worked her whole life for the United Auto Workers and still depends on her hard fought pension from Chrysler.
We didn’t have much growing up, in fact we moved around in our trailer during the early parts of my life. Without the union jobs my parents had and the union jobs I worked in the trucking industry on the night shift during college, there is no way I could have afforded college and medical school. I’ve got a lot of different jobs on my resume, except for politician. I’ve never run for office in my life.
I’m considering running for Congress because I can’t sit on the sidelines any longer while Republicans plot to take away great programs that have done a lot for so many Americans. Please take a minute to read my biography and consider joining our cause.
After finishing my degree in Accounting/Finance at the University of Colorado, I worked for John Deere and Co., moving up in the company and learning a lot about business that I would use later in life. I enjoyed my time there, but soon I felt the need to get into healthcare to help people become and stay healthier. I went to Palmer Chiropractic College and built a successful practice over the next decade. After that, I decided I hadn’t had enough school so I went to medical school at the University of Colorado to become a doctor.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve built several successful practices and have helped my patients get better and stay better. It takes a lot of teamwork and dedication, but I believe my patients know that I am on their side when it comes to healthcare and also battling unfair practices by the insurance industry.
I’m unique in that I’m a spine doctor who knows the physician side of healthcare, but also the business side. No one in Congress has that background and expertise. I do. I’ve created jobs and lived through the successes and problems of our healthcare system.

This could get interesting. I don’t think any one of the legislators who have already endorsed Joe would budge. They know Joe. They love Joe. We love Joe.
And unlike the Bennet/Romanoff race, no one knows this Haney guy. No one. He has fewer facebook friends and page likes combined than my cat. Seriously.
Your cat has a Facebook page?
Meow.
Unfortunately, it was probably before the server drive crashed. I have a backup, but it would be a major headache to find that article if it even exists. Here are the highlights, though:
At the time, he was toying with the idea of running from CD3. Here’s an article from the Sentinel archives, but it’s probably paywalled.

The local address he listed at the time was only a mail drop: a PO Box at the UPS store near Rimrock Walmart in Grand Junction.
This might also be of interest:

Sounds like he was over-charging patients. And it generally has to be super-excessive to get an official reprimand.
Joe should easily dispose of his primary opponent. The money will be missed in the general. I live in this disrict. I don’t want Joe to lose.
Not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination.

“Perry L. Haney, M.D., a 53 year-old physician practicing in Denver, Colorado, entered into a combined Statement of Charges and Settlement Agreement with the Board. The Iowa Board charged Dr. Haney with entering into a voluntary agreement with the Colorado Medical Board which restricted his Colorado medical license. On April 21, 2003, Dr. Haney entered into a Stipulation and Final Agency Order with the Colorado Board based on concerns regarding the excessive use of massage therapy services in Dr. Haney’s practice and that the amounts billed for procedures performed in his practice were excessive. Dr. Haney agreed to discontinue the use of massage therapy in his practice and he agreed to modify his billing system to decrease the cost for multiple procedures. Additionally, he agreed to submit to a medical chart review by a nationally recognized medical practice review company. Dr. Haney successfully completed the medical chart review and no major concerns were identified. Under the terms of the combined Settlement Agreement entered into with the Iowa Board, Dr. Haney was issued a Citation and Warning based on the action taken in Colorado.”
