McConnell Welcomes Tipton
Third District Race pits "Renegade" against state politician.
Retired Colonel Army Ranger Bob McConnell has issued a statement regarding Scott Tipton's second attempt at challenging the incumbent John Salazar for his congressional seat: "Welcome, Scott. Come join me in the race. Since I've never run for political office I consider myself a candidate of the people and they will decide what kind of representative they want in Washington."
McConnell announced his candidacy in mid-September and considers himself a unique "renegade" with a background in law, ranching, the environment, outfitting, and mountaineering. He has been traveling the vast Third District, "garnering support at a grassroots level."
"The people of this District are ready to retire John Salazar and they want a candidate who can do that. The Republicans need to field a man with proven leadership. I have led men in battle and on Everest expeditions and I know I can lead in Congress. I want this job, but not for long. I will push relentlessly for term limits in Congress so we oust career politicians." For more information go to McConnell For Congress.
