More Fort Collins voices needed on state boards


Just a short post today.

The recent news of 174 gubernatorial nominations being held up in the Senate caught my eye and as I looked through the list of people whose nominations have yet to be confirmed I realized (too) many were from Denver.

Denver’s metro area obviously holds a great deal of the state’s overall population and so it may always have more representation, but people in Denver should not have the only voices on state boards and commissions.

As vacancies become available you can apply here on the Governor’s website. The 2012 vacancies will be open soon. We need more people from Fort Collins, northern Colorado, and outside the Denver area to apply, serve, and represent the interests of people outside of the capital city.

If elected to the Senate I would make sure Fort Collins is getting its fair share of representation, at the moment it is not.
