Musgrave endorses Armstrong

U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Fort Morgan) has endorsed Wil Armstrong's bid for Congress. Musgrave referred to Armstrong's familiarity with the business world as a significant criterion in her endorsement.

"Wil is the only candidate in the race with extensive business experience having spent years hiring employees, building businesses and managing them through fluctuating economies," Musgrave said in a statement released by the Armstrong campaign.

Armstrong, who is running for the seat vacated by Rep. Tom Tancredo, is currently the CEO of software company Blueberry Systems in Greenwood Village.

Musgrave also mentioned Armstrong's family life as a key factor in her decision, saying, "Colorado families would be fortunate to have Wil Armstrong fighting for them in Congress."

Musgrave announced her endorsement for Armstrong on the campaign's website.

"I think he will make a great member of congress," Musgrave said in the video. "He has lived a life that shows he has a great work ethic, he has good instincts, and he has a great deal of enthusiasm and energy for the job."

Veterans for Armstrong


Just because Mike was in the military does not qualify him to lead, look at the voting machine issue it's a mess, coffman needs to stay in office like a good marine a face the challenges of the position he was elected to fullfill 2 years ago. where is the leadership, sounds indecisive to me. it's not good to be a grasshopper.

I advise that you take


rather than your paycheck.Mike Coffman served this country honorably as an infantry leader in the Marine Corps. Mike Coffman is a proven winner with a record. He came out of retirement to go back and serve this country. Wil went into the mortgage business and made a bunch of money off innocent people. His father has something to do with all of his political and economic successes. Wil can’t beat Mike on his merits so his dad is forced to call in old favors. Is it too late.?

I advise the coffman supporters to read the current article about the voting machine debacle that is making county election officials throughout the State of Colorado. According to the article indeisivness and watching out for own interest by throwing member of the staff under the bus to stop the bleeding to save one own political ambitions is at the core of the article. Where is the leadership? When a campaign is built on quicksand, the citizens of cd-6 can see through it plus it's not good to be a grasshopper.

Without Bill


Will would never get these endorsements if his dad had not given significant financial support to all of these politicians. Give me a break.

Another career politician


endorsing someone who claims he's not. His dad was one and so are the people whose endorsements he's been touting. Get a new message Will because people can see through the "I'm not a career politician, so elect me"
