| "As expected, the Republicans have gone up on TV with their first negative attack ad. They're attacking my record as District Attorney. They're twisting numbers, distorting the truth, and using Washington-style politics to attack my record here in Colorado." "I'm proud of my record. We put more than 12,000 criminals in prison, and had a 95% conviction rate. Those aren't numbers I brag about, but I don't apologize for them either. We protected the public and we served the taxpayers well." "Rest assured we will not let these attacks go unchallenged, but more importantly, we will continue to frame this race the way we want to frame it. This race is about fulfilling the Colorado promise. It's about the future and leaving our children and grandchildren with a 21st Century Colorado we can be proud of." "Thank you for your support." |
