Richardson for House district 56

MESSAGE FROM THE CANDIDATE - CHRIS RICHARDSON

Why am I running?  That is the first question people usually ask.  

While my time as a Commissioner in Elbert County is coming to an end, my desire to serve my fellow citizens has not.  I pledge to work to provide a government that:

·  secures the rights and freedoms of all Coloradans,

·  respects its constitutional restrictions,

·  listens, and responds, to the needs of the people, and

·  seeks always to reduce the burden on taxpayers.

Like many who live outside the Denver Metro area, I find the Colorado I once knew rapidly fading away.  The divide between those who live in the largely agricultural eastern plains and those who control the legislature has never been wider – and it seems to be growing.  If our voices are even heard, they are being ignored.  This needs to change.

I will bring over twenty years of military service and a decade of practical elected experience in local government- as a former School Board Director and current County Commissioner- to the General Assembly.  

In a legislature packed with activists and organizers, we need more people that have experience actually getting things done.  We need more people that put their constituents ahead of ideology, and who serve the citizens, not the state.  I will speak for the citizens of eastern Colorado.  I will represent you.

Sincerely,

Chris Richardson

Candidate, HD 56
