HOLTORF LISTED SECOND ON JUNE 25th BALLOT
Akron, CO – State Representative Richard Holtorf, candidate for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District (CD4), announced the Colorado Secretary of State’s office will list him second on the June 25th Primary ballot. Holtorf earned 15.4% of the vote at the Republican CD4 Assembly on April 5 in Pueblo, CO and was certified to have 1866 signatures on April 10, meeting both requirements for the hybrid path to be listed on the ballot. The candidate receiving the most votes at the CD4 Assembly is listed first and the order for the remaining candidates are chosen by lottery.
Holtorf commented, “It is great to be listed second on the June 25th ballot. We qualified with fantastic crew of 34 volunteers gathering signatures and receiving 15.4% of votes at the Assembly. Our volunteers were from 13 of the 21 counties in CD4 and they collected signatures from all 21 counties. While all the other CD4 candidates paid as much as $40,000-$88,000 to professional political companies, I am the only candidate who spent zero dollars to accomplish the same task. That not only shows how widespread the “grassroots” support for our campaign is, but it also shows who the real fiscal conservative is in CD4. We need real fiscal conservatives in Washington, DC, not politicians who only know how to overspend.”
Of the 2,612 petition signatures submitted to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, 1,866 were accepted as valid, a 71.4% acceptance rate, one of the highest acceptance rates of CD4 candidate. The Secretary of State’s office received more petition signatures for this year’s campaign season than they have in many years.
Holtorf continued, “I would like to thank everyone who gathered signatures, voted for me at the Assembly, and has signed up to help our campaign in other ways. Our campaign is different. We are a true grassroots campaign. I spend a lot of time talking and listening to people. Listening to voters is what a Representative is supposed to do. That is what I do in the State Capitol now as the House Minority Whip and it is what I will do as a Congressman in Washington, DC. I humbly ask for your vote on June 25th.”
