| "A lot of people are saying they're going to stay at home, not because of anything I'm doing, but because of the kind of sleazy campaign that Lamborn ran."
"I feel that he ran the most sleazy, dishonest campaign I’ve seen in a long, long time, and I can not support it."
"[I am] stunned by the dissatisfaction with Doug Lamborn..."
Retiring Congressman Joel Hefley has repeatedly described Doug Lamborn's campaign as "dishonest" and "sleazy". Congressman Hefley also has refused to endorse Lamborn and suggested he may support Lt. Colonel Jay Fawcett. (Colorado Springs Gazette, August 29, 2006, and Denver Post, August 29, 2006)
This isn't the first time Congressman Hefley has taken a principled stand for ethics against members of his own party. Last year, Congressman Hefley sacrificed his chairmanship of the House Ethics Committee when he refused to weaken ethics rules to help Tom DeLay, the scandal-ridden Majority Leader.
In this day and age of partisan politics, Congressman Hefley has provided a breath of fresh air with the stance he has taken against Doug Lamborn. We thank him for his principled stand for integrity in Colorado politics.
