Erik Stone - Teller County Commissioner

For the last two decades, Colorado and its progressive leadership have driven Colorado away from it's roots and ignored our Western heritage. They have decriminalized crime, emptied prisons and encroached upon the day-to-day decisions of Coloradans to freely live and enjoy their lives. It's time that Colorado elected a governor who is a native Coloradan and understands the impacts of the soft on crime laws, the consequences of inflation higher than nearly any other state, and fights the infringement upon our Second Amendment rights. It's time for a new sheriff in town, and that is why I wholeheartedly endorse Jason Mikesell for governor of Colorado in 2026. From his humble beginnings growing up in the shadows of the mines of Cripple Creek, becoming a career deputy sheriff and then returning to serve his community as Sheriff after a successful private business venture, Jason Mikesell is the man to lead us back to being the safe, affordable and free state of Colorado.
