Sal Pace, one of my best friends and District Director for Congressman John Salazar, will announce his candidacy for Colorado House District 46 at noon on August 29th at the Pueblo River Walk.  No other candidates have announced their intention to seek this office.

Pace hopes to replace retiring Rep. Dorothy Butcher, and will leave his current job with Cong. Salazar to focus all of his efforts on winning next November.

On a personal note, I love Sal Pace. Not only does he know Pueblo inside and out, he’s the kind of down-to-earth, good-hearted person that people on both sides of the aisle hope for in government.  He’s a good Democrat, and I’ve met very few people more dedicated to public service and the great state of Colorado than Sal.

His wonderful wife has the patience of Job, which she’ll need while taking care of their beautiful baby boy as Pace knocks on doors and wrangles votes.  I predict an easy win for Sal in the primary and the general, only because I know he’s one of the hardest working people in politics and the brightest political mind in Colorado.

As soon as he has his website up I’ll link to it from here.  It will likely be www.salpace.com.

Good luck, Sal!
