Congressman Perlmutter is reaching out to constituents to help him support his impressive door-knocking campaign. In addition to the “Ed Walks the Extra Mile” video published last month, Ed has been publishing updates every week or two to his pEDometer, which tracks his steps taken and miles walked while talking to his constituents.

Ed also sent an appeal today from Mark Udall, in which the famously backcountry-savvy Senator praises the Congressman’s steady progress:

You’ve got to respect a guy who’s been spending as much time trekking as Ed Perlmutter. While most of the miles I’ve logged have been in the high country, Ed has been tackling an equally impressive summit: talking to as many people in his district as he possibly can before the election in November.

Ed’s been keeping track of the miles he’s walked (check out his web site to see the graph), and I know that over the course of the last 803,331 steps he’s knocked on doors from Lakewood to Golden and Arvada to Thornton, and listened to his constituents’ concerns about the economy, the environment, keeping small businesses running, looking out for veterans, and making sure that everyone can access the medical care that they need.

The appeal asks for sponsors at the $25: Hiking Hero (1 mile) Level; $50: Walking Warrior (2 miles) Level; $100: Trekking Titan (4 miles) Level, and; $250: Canvassing Champion (10 miles) Level.
