The Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) chapter serving Colorado's Second Congressional District (CD-2) met on Saturday, May 4, at the Boulder Public Library to consider an endorsement in the Democratic race for the House of Representatives seat being vacated by Congressman Mark Udall. The PDA chapter voted to endorse Joan Fitz-Gerald. She received more than two-thirds of the vote, making her eligible for a national PDA endorsement.
"It is an embarrassment of riches," said Kenneth Nova of the chapter leadership team. "All three of the candidates seeking our endorsement are good progressives and would make great representatives, but Joan has shown she is prepared, experienced, and disposed to protect the public sector, which separated her from the others." The PDA members chose Fitz-Gerald based on their assessment of her campaign positions, including those voiced at a forum the PDA chapter held last October 15 and in subsequent written communications to the chapter. "We believe that Joan Fitz-Gerald has demonstrated her ability to be an effective legislator, and that she is the best candidate at this time to represent CD2 in the House." Nova added, "The PDA chapter will campaign for and establish a working relationship with whomever the progressive Democratic nominee turns out to be."
Read Joan's responses to the endorsement questionnaire.
Colorado's Second Congressional District includes most of Boulder County, all of Gilpin, Clear Creek, Summit, Grand, Eagle, Broomfield Counties, and portions of Jefferson, Weld and Adams Counties.
The CD-2 PDA chapter is the state's second formally constituted PDA chapter, following one in Metro Denver (Congressional Districts 1, 6 and 7). Activists are working to launch chapters in other Congressional districts. More information about the CD-2 PDA chapter is available at its website, www.pdacolorado.org/cd2. Information about the national group is at pdamerica.org.
