Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter is up today with his first television ad of the cycle, and it’s a very strong message:

Wheat Ridge — Today, Ed Perlmutter’s campaign starts airing its first TV commercial on broadcast and cable stations.  The ad features Deanne and Navy SEAL Chad Stodden talking about how Perlmutter helped Deanne in an emergency situation obtain the necessary documents to travel to Germany to see her husband who was critically injured while serving our country in Iraq.  In 2007, Chad Stodden was shot in the chest and airlifted from Iraq to Germany for emergency surgery.  Deanne, was in Colorado, caring for their children, and was informed by the military that her husband was critically injured and she needed to get to Germany within 24 hours.  Deanne was in the process of moving, and her passport and military ID were packed away.  Over a Sunday night, Perlmutter was contacted to help. Perlmutter immediately went to work and helped Deanne get the documents she needed to travel.
