New congresswoman targets economic recovery
By LORETTA SWORD THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
November 23, 2008
Rep.-elect Betsy Markey and Rep. John Salazar are making rounds in both of their congressional districts.
U.S. Rep.-elect Betsy Markey said her primary goal as a first-term congresswoman will be to help rebuild the country's economy.
"We're spending so much more money than we're bringing in. We've got to focus on the deficit and focus on jobs," Markey said during an interview Tuesday that included Rep. John Salazar.
Salazar was accompanying her on a whirlwind tour of Southern Colorado, including some of the counties in Markey's 4th Congressional District.
Markey fields questions at FM town meeting

Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey let Morgan County residents listen to a voice message left by President-elect Barack Obama just before a town meeting Saturday.
Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey faced some questions and received some advice during a town meeting at the Fort Morgan City Hall on Saturday.
Democrats and Republicans alike showed up with questions and concerns for Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey on Saturday.
Markey was at Fort Morgan’s City Hall to speak at a town meeting as part of a tour of the northeast plains counties in the 4th Congressional District.
It was a mostly jubilant crowd of Democrats who hugged and congratulated Markey for her win over Republican Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave in the November election.
Before the meeting, Markey pulled out her cell phone to let her supporters listen to a Nov. 11 voice mail from President-elect Barack Obama.

As a supporter of our veterans, I want to join Vets for Betsy to help get Betsy Markey elected in Colorado's 4th Congressional District.
Betsy's Pledge to our Veterans
I’m asking everyone to join me in a pledge to tell their representatives that only when our veterans have accessible and quality healthcare will their service be honored. Our soldiers fight bravely for this country and it’s up to us, through our vote and through our words, to fight for them by holding our elected officials accountable for reforming the Veterans Administration in three ways:
- Making healthcare more accessible to veterans. The Veterans Administration has some of our nation’s best doctors, but there simply are not enough of them to treat those that require care. The average patient to doctor ratio at these facilities is 650 to 1, and veterans are being forced to wait six to twelve months before receiving treatment.
- Returning strong and experienced veteran leadership to the Veterans Administration. Only a Secretary with strong management skills will be able to get one of this nation’s largest bureaucracies headed in the right direction.
- Reducing the backlog of over 600,000 veterans currently waiting for approval of disability benefits claims. Disabled veterans shouldn’t have to wait six months to receive the benefits they have earned and so desperately need.
SIGN THE PLEDGE & GET UPDATES ON HOW WE CAN ALL HELP OUR VETERANS
Our current system is failing our veterans, and until we begin holding our elected officials responsible for ensuring that our veterans have access to quality health care, so are we.
