Docomomo sheds light on Richard Crowther’s Republican candidate for work at Lakeside Amusement Park Jefferson County
Commissioner drops out due to injury
BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The July 10 meeting included a walking presentation that started at dusk at the Autoscooter ride.
A jogging accident has sidelined the Republican candidate for Jefferson County Commissioner in District 2, as Charlie Sturdavant will no longer be physically able to seek the office. Jefferson County Republicans will likely begin searching for a replacement to face incumbent Andy Kerr in November’s election, according to a spokesperson. About eight weeks ago, Sturdavant was jogging along Clear Creek early in the morning, when an askew branch of a cottonwood tree caused him to trip and seriously injure his knee. On July 8, Sturdavant said he filed paperwork to drop out of the race, which Jeffco Republicans confirmed they had filed.
