Rep. Katie Stewart and I have a lot in common, but nothing more important than being supported by two amazing husbands who are the model of great fatherhood. Our jobs are tough, but we know our children are getting 100% from these amazing fellas. So, for this Father’s Day, I tip my hat to these two - supporting powerful women who work, since the beginning.

I am proud to stand with Phil Weiser! We had a phenomenal dialogue last fall at Esoterra Ciderworks about why there is a disconnect between what it means to say you are pro-business, and what it mean to actually BE pro business.

I am a small business owner, not SBA (anyone under 500 employees) small… but, scrub the toilets myself small. And it matters to be there for these, often family run businesses. No idea becomes a Microsoft or a Google overnight. Everyone has to start from the ground up. Healthcare, housing availability, childcare, infrastructure and common sense approaches to regulations are what really support small business.

Let me know what YOU think the local government should be doing to support the growth of our community.

Be careful out there!!!

Scammers are calling using actual Deputy names again. The names are public information gained by scammers who will ask for payment to be sent via suspicious transfers. The Sheriff's Office will never ask for your hard-earned money- The scammers sound convincing -Hang up your call with them and PLEASE do not send
cash of any amount!
