Cites Armstrong’s business experience during time of economic uncertainty

           Centennial, CO – Today Colorado Attorney General announced his endorsement of Wil Armstrong for congress.

“Now more than ever,” Suthers said, “our party needs a leader with real world experience.  Wil Armstrong has first-hand experience dealing with the regulation, the taxes, and the increased healthcare costs associated with building and maintaining a successful business.

           “Wil has built many businesses, most right here in the district,” Suthers continued.  “He understands the hardships facing employers, employees and their families during these times of economic uncertainty.

           “There has never been a better time to send someone to congress who intimately understands the economy and how it affects our daily lives.  Wil Armstrong has both the real world experience and the integrity to go to Washington, do the right thing, and put an end to politics-as-usual.”

In addition to his formal endorsement, Attorney General Suthers also released a short video clip of his support for Armstrong.  The video is available at:  www.armstrongforcongress.com/video.

           John Suthers has been the Colorado Attorney General since 2005.  Previously Suthers served as the US Attorney for Colorado from 2001-2005 and as the District Attorney for the Fourth Judicial District based in Colorado Springs.

Armstrong is currently the CEO of software developer Blueberry Systems in Greenwood Village.  He is running to succeed retiring Rep. Tom Tancredo.
