Candidates concerned over safety of campaign volunteers
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Some candidates in Colorado Springs say they are worried about the safety of their campaign volunteers.
"I've never had anything like this," said Gordon Bertoglio, who's been volunteering for Republican House Candidate Elizabeth Riggs.
Bertoglio says a man attacked him after putting up a campaign sign near Airport Road and Murray Blvd. last Monday.
"It happened so fast," Bertoglio said. "He just shoved a sign into my chest, knocked me back... knocked me out."
