Betsy Visits South East Colorado
On Friday, August 1st, Betsy Markey traveled to Lamar, Colorado. She spent the afternoon meeting with local newspapers and small business owners. Betsy also spoke with community groups at the home of a local business leader.
On Saturday, Betsy was in Springfield, Colorado for the annual Baca County Fair and Parade. Joined by her three sisters and niece, Betsy walked in the parade and then enjoyed a barbecue with local residents.
That evening Betsy traveled to Las Animas, Colorado for the Bent County Fair and Rodeo.
“People in this part of the state are hurting from the high cost of gas and diesel,” said Markey. “I spoke with many folks who feel that their voices are not being heard in Washington, and that has got to change.”

My Economic Plan
Posted May 3rd, 2008 by Betsy Markey
This is the beginning to a long conversation that I hope to engage in with the voters of Colorado’s Fourth District. In the coming years, we face significant challenges with the economy and specifically with many of the issues that drive voters’ concerns about the economy – healthcare, renewable energy, the ongoing cost of the War in Iraq, and our burgeoning federal deficit. As we come closer to the election, I plan to address those concerns individually and at greater length.
People Dedicated to change.
Posted November 7th, 2007 by Betsy MarkeyTop ten race in the country!
Posted September 17th, 2007 by Betsy MarkeyLast April the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee conducted a poll which among other things pointed out Congresswoman Musgrave’s vulnerability. Fifty-nine percent of voters (59%) say they will vote for someone else or consider someone else.
Now the rest of the country is noticing the same thing and it is good news for us in the 4th CD…
The Washington Post just named this congressional race one of the top ten in the country most likely to switch parties in 2008. Here is what they had to say about the race:
"I've been a Republican all my life but 'm fed up…”
Posted August 8th, 2007 by Betsy MarkeyI spent the last couple of days on the eastern plains of Colorado. My sister Barbara, who teaches high school in Virginia, came to Colorado this week to drive with me across the district. We started our trip last Saturday at the Bent County Fair Barbeque. Everyone we met was friendly and interested in learning more about my campaign. One gentleman told me "I've been a Republican all my life but 'm fed up. Next year I'm voting for Democrats, and you seem like a good person."
As compared to the Front Range there are very few 4th CD constituents on the eastern plains. As a rule people are extremely friendly and ready to help you at a moments notice.
A party with John Magnie and members of the Subdudes!
Posted August 2nd, 2007 by Betsy MarkeyThis has been a fun week!
We have a goal of doing thirty house parties in thirty days starting in mid-August. We’ve started scheduling and organizing these in earnest and it looks like I’m going to have a crazy schedule. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new folks, talking about the campaign, how we can win this seat and improve the 4th CD’s representation in Washington.
We can always use more help so if you are interested in hosting a party drop a note to Susan@markeyforcongress.com and one of our coordinators will get back in touch with you.
