Sal Pace

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Pace's race was touted as a primary example by Time Magazine of the role that so-called SuperPacs can play in winning an election. Having gotten close in the polls near October 1, the GOP money machine targeted the seat. Without Democrats matching, Pace ultimately lost. [13]

In the 2012 General Election, Pace faced Republican Congressman Scott Tipton. Tipton won by a margin of 53% to 41%, with the remainder of the vote going to third-party candidates. [14] [15] [2]

Pueblo County Commission

From 2013 until 2019, Pace served as a County Commissioner of Pueblo County, Colorado. As one of three commissioners, each elected county-wide, he represented the 165,000 residents of Pueblo County. [16]

Pace has been an advocate for passenger rail in Colorado. He chaired the Southwest Chief Passenger Rail Commission while serving as a County Commissioner. In 2016, Pace received the highest national recognition from Amtrak, the President's Safety and Service Award. [17]

Personal life

Pace is divorced and has three children. [3] [18]
