Rep. Ed Perlmutter Endorses Bennet

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Just released today, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter has officially endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet. From a press release:

Democrats in Colorado are blessed to have two highly qualified men running to represent Colorado in the United States Senate. One is our sitting US Senator, Michael Bennet, the other is our former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, Andrew Romanoff.

I have remained neutral in their primary until now, because I believe both men are gifted and talented public servants of whom Colorado can be proud. However, I have decided to endorse Michael Bennet in this primary. Over the past year, Michael’s diligence, determination and dedication to solving problems and moving Colorado and America forward have earned my trust, respect and full support.

Perlmutter and Denver Rep. Dianna DeGette had been the only Democratic members of Colorado’s delegation to not take a side in the Senate primary, but of the two Perlmutter’s support is definitely more important. Perlmutter’s district boundaries include large portions of two of Colorado’s biggest and most electorally important counties — Jefferson and Adams — and his support will carry particular weight among Jefferson County Democrats who might have been inclined to back Andrew Romanoff.

More commentary from a Pols diarist here.

  1. Bennet initially struck me as a brown-nosing post turtle with no place in the Senate, but he’s quickly matured into a bold Senator. If Romanoff’s presence in the primary helped to force Bennet to become more committed to progressive causes, I applaud Romanoff. But I’m leaning strongly Bennet following Romanoff’s juvenile behavior in recent weeks, and if Perlmutter–who has had ample opportunity to evaluate Romanoff’s fitness for this position over the years–is pro-Bennet, so am I.

  2. There are few people, in any field or industry, with the integrity and honesty of Ed Perlmutter. He speaks the truth, and is respected and beloved by all who know him.

    I joked with Ed a few weeks back that he made my job difficult. I am always telling people, “Write to your members of Congress.”  I always get the same response, “I don’t need to. I have Ed.”

  3. I am wondering if the head to head

    Romanoff vs. Bennet polling figures to be released Monday will effect the caucus vote?

    I see no way that Speaker Romnanoff can stay in the race if he comes in second on Tuesday. Not saying he will but IF he does I think he will withdrawal from the race.
