Speaker John Boehner will be in Denver Tuesday.
House Speaker John Boehner is coming to Denver Tuesday to campaign for one the GOP’s most endangered members, Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora.
Coffman faces a challenge from former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in one of the most competitively drawn seats in the country. The fundraiser for the Coffman Victory Fund will be held at the Brown Palace, and ticket prices range from $2,500 to $250.
This election cycle, Coffman is the only GOP incumbent defending a House seat that could go either way, according to top political pundits such as Charlie Cook and Stuart Rothenberg.
And the race is considered important because it , which is why the GOP is pouring money into the 6th Congressional District.

Meanwhile, Romanoff’s campaign sent a fundraising e-mail today to supporters:
“How do you make 25 years disappear? It only takes 30 seconds — and about $5 million. That’s what Mike Coffman and the GOP are counting on: They’re poised to spend more than $5 million on a series of 30-second ads, rewriting the congressman’s 25-year-long voting record. We can’t let them get away with it.”
