Ed Perlmutter reached a landmark 500 miles traveled in his campaign walks around neighborhoods in the 7th Congressional District. According to a recent campaign email:
Walking 500 miles would take you all the way across the state of Colorado, and then some. You could stroll from Thornton to Lakewood and back again more than 20 times. It takes you about a quarter of the way to the Washington Monument from Golden! 500 miles also gets you hundreds of face-to-face conversations with real people, listening to their concerns about topics ranging from jobs and the national budget, to national security, Medicare, education, and much more.
During the 1,112,285 steps I’ve taken while out walking in the 7th Congressional District since the beginning of this year, I’ve talked to veterans and military families, parents worried about their kids’ futures, small business owners, retired folks who want to make sure they’ll have access to medical treatment, and scores of hardworking people who want the chance to achieve the American Dream in a country that represents their values.

The campaign has already released two new videos: a montage of some of Ed’s supporters, talking about what his walking — and his good work in Congress — means to them. The campaign also went on air today with a powerful new campaign ad, telling the story of how Ed was able to provide critical support for a military family in need.
