Fawcett out-raises Republicans in CD5
Quick, who's leading the fundraising race in CD5? Lamborn? Crank? Nuh-uh. It's Democratic candidate Jay Fawcett. A press release states:
Retired Air Force Lt. Colonel and Desert Storm combat veteran Jay Fawcett is gaining political and fundraising momentum in his race to win the 5th Congressional seat recently vacated by ten-term Congressman Joel Hefley (R). Fawcett raised $80,191 for first quarter of 2006, which is more than any of the Republican candidates, according to the FEC website.
"Our campaign is on the move," Fawcett said. "People around this district, around Colorado and around the country are getting behind our candidacy in a big way. People are hungry for different kind of leader. Now more than ever we need more leaders in Congress who not only talk about wars in the Middle East but leaders who have served uniform and served in a war in the Persian Gulf."

Way to go Jay, and thanks to Band of Brothers! Jay and Bill Winter, both Veterans of course, should stay in close contact and keep in touch with influential Dems like Congressman Jack Murtha and former Senator Max Cleland. I truly believe that the two of them can carry each other right to Washington!
