Armstrong releases first TV ad
By Jeremy Pelzer
Congressional candidate Wil ArmstrongCD-6 Republican candidate Wil Armstrong released his first TV ad Monday, speaking out against "professional politicians" who have lost touch with our priorities."
"We can change Congress by changing some of the resumes," Armstrong says in the ad. "We need more business experience back there (in Washington), not more professional politicians."
Armstrong is a CEO of a software development and consulting firm who hasn't held elective office before. All three CD-6 opponents, meanwhile, currently hold elected office: Mike Coffman is Secretary of State, and Ted Harvey and Steve Ward are state senators.
The ad will be airing cable on primarily in the CD-6 area, said Armstrong manager Jack Stansbury.
Armstrong is the second CD-6 candidate to release a TV ad; Coffman began airing an ad late last week.
CORRECTION: The story initially quoted Armstrong in the ad, in error, as saying "We can change Congress by changing some of the residents." The last word in the sentence is "resumes," not "residents."
not "residents."

Quote of the Day
September 5, 2008
"Colorado's not all of a sudden a liberal state. It hasn't moved to the left. It's been a few people who have dumped several million dollars in it. But what they've done is (Democrats) have run people who don't have voting records."
-- Rich Beeson, political director for the Republican National Committee.

Actually...
He does say 'resumes.' And I agree, career politician is great NOT to have on the resume this year.
wil armstrong
I think Wil is the best qualified among the other 3 career politicans, he has my vote. We need more candidates that are dealing with real world issues on a daily basis and not trying to build a resume just to continue their political career of being out of touch with the real world. I also think Wil will energize the Republican Party by expanding the base at the grass roots level not only in cd-6, but all of Colorado for future leaders, so that the Republican Party can be the majority party again in this great state.
Listen closer
No he doesn't. He says "changing some of the resumes."
