We need small-businesses to open and thrive in Colorado. We need schools that prepare all of our citizens to compete in a global economy. We need real solutions for our energy needs, safer roads, and affordable health care, but most of all we need new ways of thinking.
We are proud of our state because of its people, not because of the political parties that occupy it. Though we can continue to bemoan the climate of politics and the inability of our officials to represent us well, it seems that sometimes we overlook the obvious solutions in favor of the comfortable failures. I have great faith in the people of Colorado to reverse this trend and demand better.
On Wednesday morning I will take the next steps to announce my candidacy for the Colorado Senate.
So far there are three people in the race, including myself. Conventional political wisdom is that you do not name your opponents for fear of giving them free publicity, but it is time that we not be afraid of what people might do if given the choice to vote for someone else. John Kefalas, a Democrat, and Syndi Anderson, a Republican, have declared their candidacy for the Colorado Senate 14th District, I encourage you to consider them moving forward.
Although being an independent candidate is what some will call unorthodox it will not become the theme of the campaign. We have more important issues ahead of us than our tired political rivalries, it is long past time that we focus on solutions.
With your help a better tomorrow may be closer than we thought.
