Perlmutter Wins In CD-7

Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter is headed back to Congress for a third term from a suburban Denver district targeted by Republicans.

With 68 percent of the projected vote counted Tuesday, Perlmutter led Republican Ryan Frazier 52-44 percent.

Perlmutter performed a cartwheel before a rowdy crowd of Democrats after declaring victory. During the campaign, Republicans used video of Perlmutter turning cartwheels in negative ads.    – More -
