Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner has cancelled his Friday town hall meeting in Pueblo, saying he will be visiting Puerto Rico this weekend as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation to look at hurricane damage and the recovery efforts.
The Republican senator said he will reschedule his Pueblo event.
According to a statement this morning, Gardner was asked by the White House to take part in the Puerto Rico trip. He is going as part of the Subcommittee on Energy and will be looking at efforts to restore power on the island.
He was scheduled to take part in the Action 22 day-long conference in Pueblo and host a town hall meeting Friday morning. His office announced that meeting on Wednesday, only to cancel it Thursday morning.

My cousin in Castle Rock used to have Gardner as a rep. She complained about him then, and he hasn't improved.
