| Description | Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter has announced that he will not seek reelection to Congress later this year, a surprise reversal that sets up a potentially competitive race in the recently redrawn 7th District.
Perlmutter has represented the 7th District, centered on the western suburbs of Denver, since 2006. He previously announced in November that he would run for a ninth term under the district’s new boundaries, which were drawn last year by Colorado’s inaugural independent redistricting commission, but said Monday he had reversed course “after much thought and consideration.”
“I’ve never shied away from a challenge but it’s time for me to move on and explore other opportunities,” Perlmutter said in a statement. “There comes a time when you pass the torch to the next generation of leaders.” |
