FEBRUARY 26TH, 2008 | Polis for Congress
By John Aguilar
The Colorado Veterans Alliance, a statewide organization representing 32,000 Colorado veterans, endorsed Democratic congressional candidate Jared Polis on Tuesday.
Polis, a Boulder Internet entrepreneur, is running for the 2nd Congressional District.
Capt. Rick Duncan, a retired Marine and disabled Iraq War veteran, said in a statement on behalf of the alliance that Polis’ recent trip to Iraq indicates that the candidate is intent on gaining first-hand experience about the war.
Polis said one of his main goals if elected to Congress is to end the war in Iraq and provide veterans with educational opportunities and physical and mental health services once they return home.
Ask Jared a question!
