Doug Lamborn Wins in CO-05!
DOUG LAMBORN, CLUB FOR GROWTH PAC-SUPPORTED CANDIDATE WINS CO-05 GOP PRIMARY
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Extending the Club for Growth PAC's record to 8-2 for endorsed candidates in the 2006 cycle, Colorado primary voters last night chose Doug Lamborn as the GOP nominee for the 5th Congressional District race. Doug is an endorsed candidate of the Club for Growth PAC, the political arm of the nation's largest free market advocacy organization with more than 36,000 members.
"This is a huge win for Doug Lamborn and the pro-growth agenda. Doug has demonstrated a consistently strong commitment to limited government and opposing higher taxes and the 5th District voters have responded," said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey.
"The Club for Growth PAC is proud to have played a significant part in ensuring Doug had the support he needed to campaign effectively on lower taxes and less spending," Toomey said. "Club members donated over $200,000 to his campaign and the Club for Growth PAC spent nearly $100,000 on independent expenditures, including running TV ads during the closing days of the campaign."
Lamborn won with 27.0% of the vote while his top opponent, Jeff Crank received 25.4%. His primary win in this heavily Republican district almost assures he will replace Rep. Joel Hefley in Congress after the general election.
"Colorado's 5th District constituents expect strong, principled leadership and I am confident that Doug Lamborn will deliver on that expectation once he is elected in November," concluded Toomey.
