Feingold to visit Colorado to campaign for Winter

Senator Russ Feingold has announced he will step up his support of Democratic CD6 nominee Bill Winter:

The Senator will be traveling to Colorado to headline a fundraiser hosted by Rutt Bridges on October 9th and has supplied the campaign with a trained staff member to expand its ground efforts.

Winter said, "Senator Feingold is dedicated to bringing people into Congress who will work to unite the American people. I am proud to have such a strong bi-partisan leader believe I am one of those candidates and come out to Colorado to help me win this race..."

Winter said that his respect for the Senator runs deep. Winter was first exposed to Feingold's work when he served as a legislative assistant for Senator John McCain on the Senate Commerce Committee. Winter said, "When I was a staffer for John McCain, I had the pleasure of watching Senator Feingold and Senator McCain work across the partisan divide... I am going to Washington to work with leaders like Senator Feingold, Senator McCain and Senator Salazar, all who have a vision for a greater, stronger and more united America. At a time when there has never been a stronger partisan divide in America, we need leaders like them to bring us back together."

The Winter campaign has drawn the support of national Democratic leaders like Feingold, General Wesley Clark and Gov. Mark Warner, and has begun to catch fire over the past few days, buoyed by new radio spots and continued missteps by Winter's Republican opponent.

Winter is one of the best potential congressmen Colorado has ever seen. He deserves CD6's support on election day.
