Club for Growth backs Coffman
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com ReporterThe anti-tax group Club for Growth endorsed Republican Mike Coffman in the 6th Congressional District race on Friday, expressing confidence that the current Secretary of State would win the seat over Democratic opponent Hank Eng.
"Mike Coffman has a long career of fighting for taxpayers no matter what position he has served in," stated a Club for Growth press release. "In the Colorado Legislature, first as a representative and then as senator, Coffman had one of the most pro-growth records of all legislators. He has a proven track record of supporting lower taxes, less government spending, and other limited-government policies."
Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said the group is "confident Coffman will win his general election and will bring the same commitment to free-market, limited-government policies in the U.S. House of Representatives as he has throughout his political service in Colorado."
Spokesmen for Coffman and Eng were not immediately available for comment Friday afternoon.

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."
- David Canter, an attorney from Highlands Ranch who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the state's 6th Congressional district seat in 2010, on how he will run a different campaign from the one 2008 Democratic candidate Hank Eng did against U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman.
