All Together Now: Perlmutter Endorses Pettersen For CD-7

  • 0 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
State Sen. Brittany Pettersen (D).

We wrote a week ago about the decision by popular Jefferson County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper to not run for the CD-7 congressional seat being vacated by longtime Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, which along with the similar announcement by Rep. Brianna Titone of Arvada clears the primary field for state Sen. Britanny Pettersen of Lakewood–who as readers will recall was the frontrunning candidate to replace Perlmutter in 2018 when Perlmutter briefly entertained a run for governor.

Today, Rep. Perlmutter made Pettersen’s nomination to succeed him in this substantially redrawn but still D+7 district as close to a foregone conclusion as politics allows with his glowing endorsement:

“Brittany is a tough campaigner and a thoughtful public servant who will hit the ground running in Congress,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter. “Brittany understands the struggles facing so many Coloradans right now and will fight for our community in Washington. She will continue to work to help Coloradans and businesses recover from the pandemic and build a brighter future for our children, grandchildren and her young son, Davis. She has my support and I will do everything I can to help her win.”

Brittany, like Ed, is a born and raised Coloradan who grew up in Jefferson County and attended Jeffco Public Schools. She overcame significant challenges growing up and was the first in her family to graduate from college.

Brittany lauded the congressman’s long service to Colorado and the nation.

“Ed has been a mentor and friend to countless Coloradans. His leadership embodies his love of people, our state and our country,” said Sen. Brittany Pettersen. “Like Ed, I promise to get up every single day and fight for the hardworking people of Colorado’s 7th Congressional District and make sure they always have a voice in Washington,” said Pettersen.

Rep. Perlmutter marked Sen. Pettersen’s 100th official endorsement of her campaign for the 7th district since her Jan. 11th announcement.

That should be that, and despite some new turf to tour in the new mountainous southern part of the district Pettersen is expected to hold the seat comfortably against any current or rumored GOP challenger. Pettersen clearing the Democratic primary field early takes much of the suspense out of this contest, and helps suppress bravado-based misconceptions that CO-07 is a competitive race worth Republican investment.

In Colorado in 2022, the political drama will occur elsewhere.
