Walker Stapleton Opens Northern "Satellite" Office

9 Comments

by: Colorado Pols

Republican Treasurer candidate Walker Stapleton announced yesterday via email that his campaign was opening a “satellite” office in Northern Colorado:

That’s right! The Stapleton for Colorado Campaign is opening its first satellite campaign office in Northern Colorado! We look forward to spending even more time in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District which is one of the most important Congressional seats in not only Colorado but also in the country.

Our office is will be located at 3030 S. College St, Ste #204.

This is the first time we can recall that a statewide campaign aside from Governor or U.S. Senate had more than one main office. Normally these races are too low-profile and low-budget to afford to open more than one campaign office, but when you can put a lot of personal money into your own race (Stapleton has contributed $115,000 thus far), then maybe you can afford luxuries like this.

We’re not sure we’d open a “satellite” office if we were Stapleton — we’d be saving every penny for TV ads — but, whatever.

Unless I’m mistaken, it’s College Avenue not College St.

yup, this campaign posted the wrong address. It IS College Avenue, not College Street

no matter how much $$$ a campaign has raises this minor gaffe proves you can’t buy attention to detail…

…and by the way, doesn’t the office of Colorado State Treasurer require a pretty high attention to detail?

My impression is that it wouldn’t cost very much, but maybe the rents in Ft. Collins are steeper than I thought.

  on another campaign just opened an office in Ft Collins. I’m not sure what the final lease was, but they were looking for $500 a month for a small storefront not including the necessary phone and data lines. That plus staff should be a few pennies.
  
  If this is just a potty stop for staffers on their way to fundraisers in NoCO, it’s a little spendy. The site was until recently the office of a mortgage broker, and the rest of the building seems to consist of realty and insurance companies.

  East Coast carpet-bagger signs two month lease.
  
  This will get him exactly zero more votes in CD4.

Too bad it is so far away from Ft. Collins Drinking Liberally (The Crown Pub, 144 S College Ave ) otherwise the staff could drop in and learn about politics, the Liberal way.
