Congressional candidates slam Lamborn letter about AFA religious freedoms

Fifth Congressional District candidate Bentley Rayburn on Wednesday chided his primary election opponent, Rep. Doug Lamborn, saying the congressman is not doing enough to guarantee religious freedoms at the Air Force Academy.
Lamborn announced Tuesday that he had written a letter to Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James urging revision of Air Force regulations to permit more expression of their beliefs in the workplace.
"We need more than a letter," Rayburn said. "We need to have a forceful debate about these issues."
Rayburn, a retired two-star general and Air Force Academy graduate who has support among the GOP's evangelical wing, said if elected, he would bring the matter up for congressional debate.
