Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Steve Monahan (R)

I’m running because I have three young children and at some point they’ll be young men and women who will ask me what I did at this point in history to move our country forward. I want to be able to tell them that I stood up to be counted. I’m not standing on the sidelines musing at what’s wrong with our country, I am running for office to fix what is broken. It’s not okay to pay $5 for a gallon of gas. It’s not okay for parents to be called domestic terrorists. It’s not okay to defund the police and release prisoners from our jails. It’s not okay to force close schools, churches and businesses across America.

Jobs, Economy, and Inflation. Inflation is hurting Americans across the board, and it’s not transitory. Congress has engaged in reckless spending that has led to a 40 year high in inflation. The economy is stagnating under burdensome regulations and a spiteful administration that has intentionally frustrated enterprise and domestic production that has made it harder for Americans to get back to work, innovate, create, and simply do their jobs. Gas prices are at record highs. We have gone from energy independent to energy dependent. Our energy dependence causes major national security issues as we become dependent on adversarial nations. The solution is simple. We have the resources to produce our energy in America, especially here in Colora

Border Security. The southern border has gone from trending secure to wide open. An open border unfortunately means an increase in human trafficking, violence, and widespread drug distribution. Drugs like fentanyl that pour across our border and make their way into our communities, killing teens and adults alike. We must change course and secure our border to keep our communities safe.

Eric Mulder (L)

End the War on Drugs- repeal the Controlled Substances Act, decriminalize the possession and use of all substances, release everyone incarcerated solely for use or possession

Wage Peace, Not War- abolish selective service, close all foreign bases, withdraw from all countries the US no longer wanted in, reduce military spending and size by 50%

Dignity for all- protect government whistleblowers, allow more immigration/asylum seekers, close detention centers, abolish prison slavery

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Steve Monahan (R)

As a student of finance and economics I am passionate about delivering solutions to combat

this record inflation and economic downturn our country is facing. This the most pressing issue that Americans are facing today. As part of this policy, I am passionate about addressing global climate concerns by addressing the global supply chain and our extreme over dependence on it. When given a fighting chance America does it Cheaper, Better, and Cleaner than our competition. We cannot rely on bad actors and rivals for our energy, our supply chain and subsequently our National Security. As a Veteran, I’m very interested in supporting our men and women in uniform by emphasizing military technology and readiness, morale, and maintaining international prestige that generations before us earned. Poor leadership and playing politics with these men and women

who give so much jeopardizes all of this. It must stop.

Eric Mulder (L)

Criminal Justice Reform, Drug Policy, Prison Reform

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Eric Mulder (L)

Jessie Ventura former governor of Minnesota. He was one of the first political figures I ever heard of who rejected working through the two major parties, recognizing the serious flaws in both.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Eric Mulder (L)

"Democrips and Rebloodlicans: No More Gangs in Government" by Jesse Ventura. The book is several years old now but many of the underlying themes and principles that drove its publication are still relevant today.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Eric Mulder (L)

My first-hand understanding of the struggles many veterans and working class people face to get by on a regular basis and how more often than not government makes that harder than it has to be.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Eric Mulder (L)

Quiet the opposite. It certainly doesn't hurt to have experience in governing bodies to have an idea of how parliamentary procedure works and understand what it's like to work with dozens of people with their own competing interests and ideologies. That being said, there comes a point where years or decades of exposure to the political process starts to rub off on individuals and some of the longest tenured members of a governing body often have the greatest personal stake in ensuring the boat doesn't get rocked and that reformers and shakers are "put in their place". My district understands this principle all too well when they chose an unexperienced army veteran to replace a multiple termed entrenched incumbent who had served at nearly every level of politics in this state since the 1980s. There is an appetite for new ideas here and I am looking forward to being given the chance to put them forward in a district that demonstrated quite clearly that "incumbent" isn't the only factor in deciding who their representative is.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Eric Mulder (L)

Our greatest challenge is going to be changing the way we approach justice and incarceration. A multi billion dollar industry is dependent on mass incarceration, "three strikes" rules, and ensuring that prisons are overflowing, creating an artificial overcrowding of prisons, necessitating "contractors" to fill the gaps. This in turn creates a steady supply of incarcerated labor that is susceptible to near slave like conditions or mandates to work under the 13th Amendment. This industry produces a wide range of products while paying laborers next to nothing (and sometimes nothing at all). Many in congress have a vested financial interest in the prison industrial complex, and laws exist that mandate certain institutions must buy prison made products. Several members of congress receive contributions from the private prison lobby or even own stock in prison companies. Pushing for divestment from this miscarriage of justice is not going to be easy and many will not have the will to see it through. Those who run for/serve in congress and are willing to take on this challenge will help to create a far more just place to live, and prevent hundreds of thousands of lives from being totally obliterated by our system of incarceration.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Eric Mulder (L)

"Two guys walk into a bar. The third one ducks under it."

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Eric Mulder (L)

Ultimately as a Libertarian I understand too well that I am part of a small but vocal contingent that is unlikely to command any legislative majority. For any legislative proposal I have in mind to even have a prayer of getting seen by a committee (or even the house floor), that will necessitate being diplomatic with my legislative peers. If you take a "my way or the highway" approach all the time with people, the law of diminished returns inevitably means over time people will just simply stop caring about what you have to say. A little common courtesy and listening can go a very long way.

Compromise does not mean you must abandon your principles or convictions, but it does mean that you have the prudence and long term vision to understand how to pick and choose your battles so that you not only maximize your words and actions but that you also save your strength for when it really counts- and that you have the wisdom to understand who to not waste your time with.

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Colorado in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 1, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty candidates filed to run for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 18 Republicans. That’s 3.75 candidates per district, more than the 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.43 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Colorado gaining one congressional district. The 30 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Colorado’s U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.

Two seats — the 7th and the newly-created 8th district — were open. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D), who represented the 7th district, didn't file to run for re-election. The two open seats this year were the most open seats in Colorado since at least 2014. There were no open seats in 2020 and 2016, and one open seat in 2018 and 2014.

Six candidates, including incumbent Rep. Doug Lamborn (R), filed to run in the 5th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. There were three contested Democratic primaries, the most since 2018, when five Democratic primaries were contested. There were five contested Republican primaries, the most since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.

Four incumbents faced primary challengers, the most since at least 2014. Two incumbents, Rep. Joe Neguse (D) from the 2nd district and Rep. Jason Crow (D) from the 6th district, didn't face any primary challengers. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, so no seats are guaranteed to either party this year.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+9. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 9 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Colorado's 6th the 132nd most Democratic district nationally.
