Today, Erik Aadland, CD7 Republican candidate for Congress, announces a formal endorsement from CD5 Representative, Doug Lamborn.
Congressman Lamborn is the U.S. representative for Colorado’s 5th congressional district.

Additionally, Lamborn serves as the Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee and is also part of the Strategic Forces subcommittee, which oversees our nation’s nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense, national security space programs, and Department of Energy national security programs.
Lamborn is currently serving on the House Natural Resources Committee and its subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, and the Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee.

I would be proud to call Erik Aadland my colleague.”
