| Description | Saying he wants to bring fun back into politics, Lakewood Republican Mark Barrington told Colorado Politics he’s strongly considering running against U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter in the 7th Congressional District.
Barrington, 39, a small business owner who works in sales, said he plans to decide within weeks whether to challenge the Arvada Democrat’s bid for a seventh term — but if he runs, he promises “a different kind of race” meant to involve people who typically abhor politics while delighting everyone else.
“This is the time to rise up to the top with a new vision and a new mission that can bring people together to have fun,” he said in an interview. “If we’re going to live our purpose and be prepared and serve the people, you need to have fun. We want not your typical voter — we want the silent majorities, we want the families. Having fun and having freedom, that’s what this is about.”
Barrington said concern about the country’s direction has driven him to consider the congressional campaign. |
