Betsy Visits South East Colorado

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.”

Quotes
There are few people I’ve worked with who are as principled as Betsy or as good at setting and meeting goals. She’ll be an effective Representative for this district and I’m excited that she is in the race.
Stan Matsunaka
Former Colorado Senate President and Congressional candidate
I think she has a varied background that will be very helpful to someone who will represent us in the 4th CD. She has a business background and has experience in Washington, D.C. and has done good work for the people in the district.
Former State Senator Peggy Reeves
I have known Betsy for many years from when she was the county chair. I think she has a superb grasp on the issues, she is a friend, an associate and I believe she will do marvelously.
State Senator Bob Bacon
It is no accident that Betsy has been successful at everything she does. She works hard and knows how to get things done.
Allison Cortner
Executive Director of Southern Colorado Economic Development District
Betsy Markey served with great distinction as the first director of computer security policy at the U.S. Department of State. She was a pioneer in the development and interpretation of computer security policies for the State Department’s information systems located throughout the world. Betsy quickly impressed her co-workers and other State Department managers with her intelligence, her grasp of complex issues, and her ability to work with others to achieve results.
F. Lynn McNulty Former Director
Office of Information Systems Security
U.S. Department of State
Betsy worked for me in her first job after college as a staff assistant for a subcommittee in the U.S. Congress. Even then, she was smart, hard-working, principled, focused, and understood how values should drive public policy. I am pleased that as I have watched her career and her private life ever since then, she has been consistent in her values and her actions. I can't think of anyone who would be a more effective first term representatives for the people of Colorado.
