| Description | One day after longtime Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s surprise retirement announcement, the first high-profile Democratic candidate has jumped into the race for the 7th District seat as the jockeying to replace the eight-term congressman begins.
State Sen. Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood formally declared her candidacy with a filing early Tuesday morning, according to the Federal Election Commission, making official a bid that had been widely speculated upon by state political observers in the wake of Perlmutter’s announcement on Monday.
“I’ve spent the last decade fighting for working families, public schools, and small businesses,” Pettersen said in a press release. “Growing up, the odds were stacked against me, but thanks to the support of Jeffco public schools and teachers, I persevered. Now, I’m fighting to make sure future generations have that same chance.” |
