Cory Gardner has been the representative for Congressional District 4 since 2010. He neither represents me nor much of the district. Over the four years he has been in office, he has managed to ignore most of the residents and the needs of the district that he supposedly represents.

As a resident of Longmont, the final straw was when he voted to shut down the government, while parts of Boulder County that he should have been helping were devastated by a flood. Oh, he was around for all the photo-ops, but we needed help from the federal government. As my favorite candidate for CD 4, Vic Meyers says, “Cory Gardner doesn’t deserve to be re-elected, and he sure doesn’t deserve a promotion.”

So, Coloradans, beware. Gardner smiles a lot but works for corporate special interests, not for you. Don’t fall for the false promises.

Vote for Mark Udall.
