"The citizens of Colorado have a wide variety of needs, viewpoints and beliefs. In Colorado House District 63, we need continued representation by a legislator that understands the rural and urban divide - as the needs of rural Coloradoans seem to be frequently overlooked, or ignored, during the legislative and policy-making process. In CHD63, we are a deeply committed area of dedicated farming and ranching families and communities, Dusty understands this. As an effective communicator, Dusty has vast experience and expertise at both the state and federal levels and will respectfully advocate for our beloved agriculture-base in Northeastern Colorado."

“Small businesses are the foundation of our state’s economy, creating good-paying jobs and thriving communities,” NFIB State Director Tony Gagliardi said. “A recent NFIB survey found that rising costs are taking a serious toll on our job creators.

These candidates understand the challenges small business owners face and support policies that will make it easier to do business in our state.
