Learn more about Mike Coffman and his interest in working for the 6th Congressional District of Colorado.
7/17/08 - Opinion, Highlands Ranch Herald
In this competitive campaign for U.S. House District 6 to identify the successor to Rep. Tom Tancredo, I look for indicators of leadership in the man who will fight for our conservative values in the U.S. Congress.
I join others who say, "We like Mike." Mike Coffman has a solid understanding of public service in peace time and in war. Listening to us, exhibiting courage on tough issues and finding strategic solutions demonstrate his exemplary leadership.
It makes a difference to me that Mike returned for a second tour in Iraq to work successfully with its citizens on their Constitutional government. It will make a difference to all of us that this war veteran who has served us so well in our Colorado Legislature and other high offices can hit the road running in Congressional debates on our national security.
A nation at war also needs a congressman of this caliber to help us sustain our economy. Mike's focused leadership, his courage to put himself on the line, and his strategic thinking should be the deciding factors to voters in U.S. House District 6.
The other three candidates are fine individuals, but it makes a difference that Mike Coffman's leadership is proven and he is ready to deploy.
