InfoA Lifelong Resident of the 7th Congressional District

A lifelong resident of Jefferson County in Colorado's 7th Congressional District, Ed is a product of public schools. Ed graduated from Jefferson High School in Edgewater and graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1975. Ed worked his way through law school as a laborer on construction projects.

A Family Man

Ed married Deana in 1980 and they are the proud parents of three daughters - Alexis (24), who works for "Grassroots Democrats", Abby who graduated from Wheat Ridge High School in 2005 and is currently attending the University of Northern Colorado and Zoey (14) who is a freshman at Wheat Ridge High School.
