FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2011
CO GOP Chairman Issues Statement on Appealing Judge Hyatt's Ruling:
GREENWOOD VILLAGE -In response to the recent ruling and Congressional district maps adopted by the Denver District Court, Ryan Call, the Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party said the following: "A decision regarding whether or not the plan adopted by the Denver District Court will be appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court will be made in the coming days, after thoughtful consideration of Judge Hyatt's lengthy decision. The way counties such as Eagle, Jefferson and Douglas are split, and the way communities that have very little in common are summarily forced together, is problematic to the concept of effective representation. Of particular concern is this court's reliance on an artificial notion of competitiveness that is foreign to the State Constitution, state statutes, and case law that should guide the courts in crafting district maps. Despite serious problems with the court's map, this plan still provides a clear opportunity for Republicans to maintain our Congressional delegation, and mount a serious challenge to Ed Perlmutter in the 7th district. In addition, we have every confidence that Congressman Mike Coffman, whose district was changed most dramatically by the court ruling, will demonstrate to his new constituents why Colorado is lucky to have a man of such character, talent and principle representing us in Washington, DC."
