Posting to groups like Park County Bulletin and Park County Colorado (como, Hartsel etc.) my posts seem to be getting stifled - I can see they are cross posted and I can see the post (screen below), however there are no like/share or comment options and it does not appear in the feed for the group. South Park Bulletin, for the moment, seems to be there. No notifications that I’ve violated any terms about political posting, or why, if in fact there something in those groups that isn’t allowed that I’m doing. The posts were visible as there were comments (some constructive, others less so) in the groups, as well as shares and reactions… what happened?
Can others see this post in those groups? Thanks for the help!

Primary ballots are arriving! Independents get two - but only fill out and return ONE!
Much more local competition on the Republican ballot - almost every county office has a contested primary, so look at those candidates closely! Reach out, meet and talk to them!
Statewide and senate district races are interesting on the Democratic side - fortunate to have many good candidates in all races! Again, definitely reach out to our local district candidates - they’re extremely accessible and would love to hear your concerns and earn your support!
First finance reports are in - see where donations are coming from on the CO Secretary of State’s TRACER website.
If you do happen to be voting the Democratic primary in Park County… (may be the first time I’ve voted for myself for anything - at least on paper!)
Thank you for your support! So much more to come!

Track your ballot! https://ballottrax.coloradosos.gov/voter/

(Yes this is a re-post as the original seems to have disappeared from group sites but no one knows why… weird.)

Thank you My Mountain Town for your attendance and coverage at the candidate forum in Bailey this week!
Really good video and Q&A with your Park County candidates for public office!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8EvgMQVUV8

The video of the Platte Canyon Candidate Forum is now up on our YouTube Channel (link below) if you'd like to see what some of the candidates for Assessor, Clerk & Recorder, Commissioner, Coroner, Sheriff, and Treasurer had to say. The time stamp for each segment is posted as well so you can easily find each candidates' sections. Apologies for it looking blurry, something strange happened to the video quality when uploading it.

We would like to thank the Like Minded Unite group for organizing the event and inviting all of the candidates so constituents have the opportunity to learn more and make informed votes. We extend our appreciation to all of the candidates who have stepped up to serve their communities - it takes a great deal of time, effort, and caring to do so, and we are grateful to you for that dedication.

Tyrene Cook for Park County Commissioner
Truman4ParkCo
Steve Spodyak for Sheriff
(if we are missing any other candidate pages who were in attendance at this forum, please let us know!)

Thanks Guffey for a wonderful morning of pancakes, cars and great conversations with neighbors at the Hot Rods and Hot Cakes breakfast! Good to make some new friends, and meet longtime residents and folks new to the county! A few of my non-Jeep favorites in the pics. Next weekend - lots of cooking! Have a wonderful and safe weekend!

What a great Saturday at South Park ACE Hardware & Lumber Grilling for Good for South Park Food Bank!!
Thank you to all who came out to enjoy hot dogs and burgers and support our neighbors with meals year ‘round! So many burgers!
The struggle is real in Park County, for families and furry friends. The “Best of Park County” (non-profit) Food Bank, volunteers working with donor partners and local businesses like Prather’s Market, do amazing work supplying nutritious food boxes, fresh milk, meats, fruits, vegetables, breads, snacks and more as well as pet food - cans, kibble and treats - to families coming from all across the county.
As costs increase for necessities - like gas - our neighbors struggle in silence, often forgoing important things including sacrificing the ability to enjoy the beauty of our county or spend time with our neighbors. A little help can go a long way not just in nutrition but in the happiness, health and future of our county. Thanks for your support!

At the BOCC’s Short Term Rental (STR) “North” meeting, which has our NorthWest Fire Department here in person along with a dozen or so neighbors, and well over 80 people in the Zoom. Lots in of interest.
The public ask seems to be for enforcement, and not setting restrictive limits ‘butter knifed’ across the communities. The math and numbers provided prior were assured to not be part of the ordinance, despite having the ability to set such limits in the resolution.
What are your ideas for Park County to realize the economic opportunity while managing housing affordability and community impact?

Woohoo! Unofficially official! On the Primary Ballot for the Park County Democratic Party for Park County Commissioner, District 3! Thank you Assembly Delegates!
I know there was only one option, and uncommitted was looking tempting, but thanks for your unanimous support!!
Incredibly excited for this journey with a full party bus!
