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.

Colorado’s budget is in a grim spot, and the state’s schools are one of the victims of recent cuts. Colorado Commits is a campaign designed to educated citizens about not only the state of the budget and its affect on our kids (and our economy), but also to propose some solutions to help get Colorado’s schools out of this fix.
There are several prongs to this ongoing campaign, including branding, several television commercials OnSight was able to film, edit, and get on the air on short notice, as well as a web site which will be housing information and opportunities for citizens to get educated and involved as the campaign progresses.
Check out ColoradoCommits.com, watch the commercials, and take the pledge to commit to Colorado’s future!

OnSight Public Affairs congratulates Elise Jones on her successful run to win the primary election in the race for Boulder County Commissioner. While the general election is in November, the winner of the Democratic primary is the presumptive winner.
Elise ran a fantastic campaign, with a solid showing at local debates, strong fundraising, and a robust volunteer and outreach corps. Elise and her volunteers had hundreds of conversations, knocked on over a thousand doors, and made thousands of phone calls, during nearly nine months of reaching out to Boulder County voters.
OnSight was proud to help Elise with a branded and structured mail outreach program, campaign strategy consultation, and social media and web presence design and input throughout Elise’s campaign.
We are proud of the honest and professional campaign Elise ran, and wish her luck through the rest of her election season.
