Today, he serves as an independent Smart Cities consultant and Global Thought Leader for Regional Communities, focusing on solutions like Digitally Integrated Public Ecosystems to support smaller communities facing digital and urban challenges.

Robert Moore Republican Candidate for Governor

Colorado is at a crossroads. My priorities are clear: reduce crime, cut taxes, strengthen businesses, and build an economy that works for everyone. That means lowering the cost of living for hardworking Coloradans, eliminating burdensome regulations that crush small businesses, protecting our Second Amendment rights, and reinforcing the rights of individuals and families to own, use, and expand their property—including supporting our agricultural communities.

The far-left majority in the Colorado Legislature has taken our state in the wrong direction. Their endless taxes, fees, and regulations are suffocating families and businesses. According to a University of Colorado report from December of last year, our once-thriving economy has fallen from the 5th strongest in the nation to 41st. Colorado is now the 6th most over-regulated state for businesses. That’s not an accident—that’s the direct result of policy choices.

Barbara Kirkmeyer Republican Candidate for Governor

State Senator, and Weld County Commissioner, Barb has a proven record of delivering results for her community.

In her first year as a state senator, Barb passed 17 bills to promote economic and personal freedom and improve Coloradans’ safety, in spite of the Democrats’ advantage in the chamber. She was acknowledged by Colorado Politics as a notable legislator who“ debated like a statehouse veteran, not a first-year back bencher.” Senator Kirkmeyer currently serves on the Joint Budget Committee.

As a Weld County Commissioner, Kirkmeyer pursued a strong conservative agenda, leaving Weld County as Colorado’s only large, debt-free county. She helped coordinate an effort to make Weld County a Second Amendment sanctuary from liberal assaults on gun rights, and she also helped lead the effort to secure funding to expand I-25 north to Fort Collins.
