A vote for me is a vote for "All of Colorado"

We are all so proud of Colorado and what our state has become. We have built one of the strongest economies and can compete nationally, yet we have not served all 64 counties in Colorado well. I promise to extend our reach to "ALL" in our state. My job is to keep Colorado the great place we have all come to know and love. A vote for me is a vote for "All of Colorado."

I will follow the Code of the West

Live each day with courage
Take pride in your work
Always finish what you start
Do what has to be done
Be tough but fair
When you make a promise, keep it
Ride for the brand
Talk less, and say more
Know that some things aren't for sale
Know when to draw the line

I do not want to see Colorado become California

[On his vision for the state]: "I do not want to see Colorado become California, and it's happening every day right in front of our eyes. It's wrong and not what Colorado is all about. We need to make Colorado Colorado again, and what is driving me is that we're losing sight of what makes this such a great state," he said.

Military taught values of loyalty, teamwork, brotherhood

In basic, they remove your entire identity. Everything you are, everything you believe you are, they remove it. They purge you from what you think you bring to the table and help you re-form those values of loyalty and teamwork and brotherhood. That's why you need to learn to march together and do things together as a team--because you're all connected. Source: Westword.com blog on 2018 Colorado governor race , May 23, 2018
