Colorado House Delegation Announces Friendly Super Bowl Wager With Washington Colleagues

DENVER, CO – With the Denver Broncos set to face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII, U.S. Rep Diana DeGette (C0-01) and the Colorado House Delegation extended a friendly wager with the Washington House Delegation, led by Rep. Jim McDermott (WA-07).

With a Broncos' victory, the Washington House delegation will provide some delectable food and wine to their colleagues from Colorado. In the unlikely event the Seahawks are victorious, the Colorado House delegation will share some of Colorado's best-known delicacies.

"My Colorado colleagues and I are proud to offer up some of our state's fantastic beverages and food for our friends from Washington," said DeGette. "With the Denver Broncos on the verge of capturing their 3rd Lombardi Trophy, we are looking forward to enjoying the best that Washington state has to offer."

"It's often said that championships are won with defense, and we couldn't agree more. The last time the Seahawks played a Manning at MetLife stadium, our number one ranked defense led by the ‘Legion of Boom' forced 5 interceptions and gave up exactly zero points," said the Washington delegation. "With that in mind, we'd like to thank the Colorado delegation's very generous contribution to the victory party that we'll be holding on February 3rd. Go Hawks!"
