John,
This is Ike McCorkle, Marine Corps veteran and Democrat running in Colorado’s Fourth congressional district. My friend and fellow veteran Jerrad told me I should reach out.
Jerrad and I are both former servicemembers, and each of us are running in rural and suburban districts that tend to support Democrats who have served in the armed forces. Our approach to politics and winning our campaigns reflects our shared experience in the military: be respectful, be direct and honest, and show up and work harder than everyone else.
Jerrad and I are both also running against some very dangerous Republicans who put Trump above country, and above democracy and the rule of law.
That is why I am writing to you today with some urgent news: Lauren Boebert just announced that she will abandon her district and run against me in a last-ditch attempt to save her failing campaign.
