A mailing attacking Sixth Congressional District candidate Mike Coffman went haywire this morning when the registered agent for the group that took credit for the attack claimed it was done without knowledge of the group’s contributors and most of its officers.
Instead, John Berry, the registered agent and secretary-treasurer for the group Protect Colorado Jobs, said the group’s chairman, political consultant Curt Cerveny, went rogue and mailed out the attack on his own.
“Curt had failed to run this by myself and the contributors to Protect Colorado Jobs,” Berry said. “It was really a surprise to us, and it was outside what Protect Colorado Jobs was set up to do.”
Cerveny couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Berry said Cerveny has resigned from Protect Colorado Jobs, and Berry has apologized to the Coffman campaign. Read more on this story, including the rare response from retiring U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, at
