LAKEWOOD (AP) - Joe Coors Jr. has announced a congressional run against Democratic incumbent Rep. Ed Perlmutter in Colorado's 7th District.
Coors, the great-grandson of brewery founder Adolph Coors, made the announcement Tuesday morning in Lakewood.
Perlmutter was elected in 2006.
He easily defeated Republican challenger Ryan Frazier in 2010 in what is considered one of the state's three competitive districts.
