Sergei Matveyuk

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am married to an amazing woman. We have three children who were born and raised in Jeffco. I am of Polish descent and legally came to American thirty-five years ago fleeing government oppression. I was raised in a communist country with no freedom to choose education, careers or ability to worship. My father and grandfather were sent to the gulag for their beliefs and not supporting communism. The government took the family farm, flour mill and last cow. My grandmother was left to support her young children with no resources. Somehow, she survived and was eventually reunited with my grandfather. My family started the process of coming to America. We waited years to legally come to the Greatest Country, America. Here I have been able to pursue my dreams. I graduated from Colorado Christian University with a business degree. I worked to learn English and eventually started my own business. I know firsthand what happens when the government tries to control our lives. Unfortunately, I have seen signs of the government trying to control our lives. I decided to run for Congress to give back to my friends, neighbors and country which has given me so many opportunities. In Congress, I will fight to protect our freedoms. I will fight to reduce our cost of living and make our communities safer. I will fight to protect our Western Independent way of life. I will fight to make sure y children and my children and live their American Dreams."

I will fight to lower the cost of living, reducing government spending which is driving inflation and the high prices of gas and groceries. When I talk to neighbors, they tell me they are spending nearly twice what they did four years ago for basic needs. The federal government must reduce spending; let’s start with eliminating new IRS agents.

---

I will work to make our communities safer by closing our borders, stopping the flow of illegal drugs, human trafficking and the streams of migrants coming into the country with no background checks. We have millions in our country that we know very little about; reports indicate thousands who have come here have criminal backgrounds. We must pass immigration reform, so we know who is coming to this country. My family waited years to come legally to this country; it is not fair to those waiting to come to our country legally that millions are coming ahead of those waiting. Without secure borders we don’t have a country.

---

Colorado is home to fiercely independent folks. We love our freedoms, our beautiful environment, and our ability to work hard and achieve our goals. I will support our farmers and ranchers, working to protect their access to water and supporting fire mitigation investments. Congressional District 7 is the heart of Colorado; we must protect our environment while supporting energy independence. We must invest in energy sources that make energy available and affordable.

Patrick Bohan

Party: Libertarian Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am husband for 31 years, a retired engineer, outdoor enthusiast (rock climber / mountaineer), author of several books, suffer from undiagnosed neuromuscular disorder, masters cycling champion, and ardent student of constitutional law and American history. I am a firm believer in our Founders vision for the United States and the Constitution. I believe sovereignty resides with "We the People" and not the federal government. The federal government has limited powers whose chief objective is to protect the fundamental rights of all citizens equally."

---

I will represent ALL constituents equally, not just those that voted for me and I will uphold my oath to serve and protect the Constitution.

---

I believe in restoring the American dream through educational choice, securing our borders (not the borders of foreign countries), reducing government spending (there are plenty of unconstitutional agencies that should be on the chopping block), lowering taxes (by implementing a fair tax), separating business and state (the government has no business picking winners and losers in industry), and restoring federalism by allowing states the power to nullify and opt out of unconstitutional laws.

---

The Constitution does not protect any one value system, it protects the values of everyone collectively so long as those values do not harm other citizens. The Constitution does not recognize any caste system to categorize people based on how we think or look. In other words, it does not matter if you are black, Hispanic, Asian, Native-American, white, female, gay, male, transgender, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, middle class, wealthy, poor, conservative, liberal ... we ALL have the same rights, and it is a sworn duty of government to protect those rights from being infringed and to provide us justice if those rights have been infringed. In other words, it is not the role of government to be involved in DEI, sexuality, or other woke metrics.

Ron Tupa

Party: Unity Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I’m a former Colorado state legislator, high school social studies teacher, and union member. I served as a State Representative and Senator for 14 years until I was term-limited out of office. I unaffiliated from the Democratic Party in 2023 after I became increasingly disillusioned by the toxic partisanship in Washington, DC and the corrupt dysfunction that pressures members of Congress to vote with special interest groups over their own constituents. Like 49% of Coloradans, I chose to unaffiliate because I felt the Party no longer represented my values and their candidates were more interested in personality and publicity rather than progress and sound policy. Outside of the Legislature I’m a single dad with 2 teenagers about to graduate from high school. I’ve also been a public-school teacher, small-business owner, political consultant, and I’ve worked as a Director for political and education reform nonprofits. I am running as an INDEPENDENT voice in Colorado’s 7th Congressional District for the 49% of unaffiliated voters who feel neither Party represents them well in Washington. My candidacy as an INDEPENDENT gives voters more choices on the ballot to better represent their values, not those of a particular political party. "

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I am passionate about the fundamental rights of citizens. If I achieve one thing in office, it would be to pass a fundamental rights legislation to reinforce enumerated rights (those rights listed in the constitution), define what a fundamental right is, define how unenumerated fundamental rights (those rights not listed in the Constitution) are identified and protected by the Constitution, list our most essential and necessary unenumerated rights, and specify that the government cannot infringe on these rights for ANY REASON even in times of emergencies. This will restore the sovereignty that resides with "We the People." I wrote a book on this subject: Our God-Given Fundamental Rights

Sergei Matveyuk (R)

I am personally passionate about public policies which allow individuals to pursue their American dreams. This includes supporting limiting government spending and ensuring hardworking Americans can afford gas, groceries and housing. It means lowering taxes, so we keep more of our hard-earned dollars. It also means closing the border, so our communities are safe, and the value of our citizenship is high. It means parents are in charge of the education of their children. It means limiting government intrusion in our lives

Ron Tupa (Unity)

Political Reform, Public Education (Social Media), the Environment (Climate Change), Affordable Healthcare and the cost of Pharmaceutical Drugs, Housing (the lack of affordable housing)/Homelessness, the Economy and Job Training, Income Inequality/Tax Reform, Immigration Reform, Science and Technology (Artificial Intelligence), interest on the Debt and Deficit Spending (I support a Balanced Budget Amendment).....

while in office as a state legislator in CO I introduced 200 bills and passed 100 into law, a 50% passage rate.... I Chaired or Vice-Chaired several committees including the Education Committee, the State Affairs Committee, and the Legislative Audit Committee....1/2 of the current Congress were also members of their state legislature, just like me...so I have the skills and experience to do the job beginning on day one.

My past legislation includes bills on Education, Elections, the Environment/Renewable Energy, Political Reform, Privacy, Technology, Tax Fairness, Immigration, Transportation, Taxation, Military Affairs, Justice, Fiscal Accountability, etc.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

Military personnel who protect the sovereignty of the United States and our personal liberties. Thank you to all of them! Pat Williams wrote a book entitled "Character Carved in Stone" that outlines the 12 virtues of a good leader especially those leaders in the military. I certainly have work to do to improve in a few areas such as with trust, but it is courage and service I wish I really wish to improve on. I wish I had half the courage and half the ambition to serve as these men and women who volunteer to risk life and limb so I can have so many freedoms to pursue happiness and security for my family. We all owe a debt to these men and women to preserve what they fought so valiantly to protect.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

The Constitution, The Bible (the first law book of society), Second Treatise of Government (John Locke), Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, Civil Rights Act of 1866, Justice John Harlan's dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson (segregation case), Corfield v. Coryell, and Meyer v. Nebraska

Ron Tupa (Unity)

I'm a former HS Social Studies teacher - I read books on politics, history, society, and philosophy. Knowing history is important for understanding people, how societies function, and the limitations of government.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Patrick Bohan (L)

The principles most important for an elected official include honesty, accountability, tolerance for differing opinions, and having a sound understanding of US history and constitutional law.

Sergei Matveyuk (R)

The most important characteristics for elected officials are honesty, transparency and accountability. It is important for an elected official to listen to and vote for the values of their constituents; they should not be beholden to special interest groups. It is important that elected officials are representatives of those they serve. They should have real life experience, knowing what it is like to struggle to make ends meet and working for what they have so they know the value of hard work and the struggles of those they serve.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

Honesty, Integrity, Accountability, Humility, Responsibility, Intelligence, and Ability. It also helps to be self-deprecating and have a sense of humor.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

I am an overachiever. For example, I was winning national senior games titles in cycling when my neurologist told me she has other patients with a lot less nerve damage needing assistance to walk. I am stubborn and always strive to be the best in my field. I climbed many difficult peaks. I achieved the highest awards in the field of test engineering at Texas Instruments. I have written books despite a reading and writing learning deficiency as a youth. I overcame an abusive stepfather and overcame alcoholism. I strive to be a better person today than I was yesterday.

Sergei Matveyuk (R)

The qualities I possess that will make me a successful Representative include, my ability to listen to multiple points of view, my ability to find creative solutions to complex problems and my ability to work with people from different backgrounds and different points of view to find solutions. As a business owner, I work every day to serve my customers. I have years of experience listening to the needs of my customers and working with others to develop solutions that will meet their needs. My work is not driven by party affiliation, it is driven by finding solutions that meet peoples’ needs. The other quality I possess that will make me successful is my firsthand experience living in a country where the government takes our freedom and tries to make all decisions for your life. Knowing firsthand the risks of not being free enables me to work extra hard to ensure that does not happen in America.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Patrick Bohan (L)

The core responsibility is to apply the rule of law equally and protect rights equally, not arbitrarily. The government is supposed to be a neutral arbiter of the law. Unfortunately, the government does the opposite by driving a wedge through different classes in society. The government protects rights by creating preferred classes of people based on our demographic makeup or in other words, they protect rights based on how we look and think. There is no place in government for arbitrarily protecting people.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

"Make public service respectable again!" Work with other members of Congress in a cordial, professional, sdImutually respectful way....be as proactive and service-oriented as possible; try to solve problems before they occur; be responsive to constituents as soon as possible and as often as necessary; become an expert in priority issue areas so that constituents don't have to be; work hard; sleep little; drink coffee.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I do not want or desire a legacy; I want to restore the Founders vision for the United States and Constitution. Legacies are selfish desires and have no place in government. We do not need politicians putting their personal legacy goals ahead of protecting the people equally.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Patrick Bohan (L)

When I was 8, I do recall the Watergate fiasco.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I was a dishwasher and bus boy at a restaurant on the New Jersey shore when I was 11. I usually held summer jobs during the peak tourism season. I was able to pay for almost all of my college education through what I saved from summer jobs with the exception of a few small student loans.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I have a lot of favorite books, but if I had to pick one that has really resonated with me in recent years it is the Bible. The Bible is the first law book introduced to society. The Bible influenced the Christian revival of the 1700s, it influenced our Founders, it influenced the schools that educated our Founders and for that reason our Founding documents and statutory law are littered with biblical principles.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I am not really a big fan of fiction. I like stories based on actual events. I like learning about people and history.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I like classic rock and 60s and 70s pop music. The last song I had in my head was by Marmalade entitled "Reflections of My Life."

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I won the lottery when I was born in the United States. It afforded me opportunities I would not get elsewhere, and I am 99% certain if I was born anywhere else, I would not have survived past age 10. I was in the right place at the right time when a doctor figured out I was slowly dying from an immunoglobulin (immune) deficiency that was causing me to have non-stop staph infections. My deficient immune system has created a plethora of debilitating and progressive autoimmune issues as an adult. It is a struggle and depressing at times, but I figured if I have one last fight in me, it would be to restore the same American dream that enabled me to succeed for our present and future Americans.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Patrick Bohan (L)

The U.S. House of Representatives is the democratic branch of the government because 1. representatives are selected by the citizens and 2. each district is equally proportioned based on population. The main power of the House is that all appropriation bills and impeachment proceedings must originate in the House.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

When originally proposed, House members represented only 30,000 residents, not the 750,000 that make up a Congressional district today. However, the 2-year term allows Congresspersons to be responsive to a wide swath of voters – not just those affiliated with the Democratic or Republican Party. If elected, I will regularly solicit the input of up to 30,000 residents before deciding how to vote on major issues.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

No, but I think they should have a firm understanding of US history and constitutional law.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

As a former state legislator, I know that having prior knowledge or experience in the legislative process is helpful - but not necessary – to being an effective Representative. It is far more important to elect individuals that are intelligent, hard-working, and whose strong character, principled ethics, and moral integrity are used in service to their constituents rather than political parties, special interest groups, or lobbyists.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

The biggest threat to the US is coming from within, not a foreign enemy, it is coming from politicians who refuse to uphold the Constitution. Each day politicians chip away at the Constitution and the public accepts it without questioning our leaders. Our Founders created a constitutional republic, not a democracy! They did not want a democracy because democracies have short life expectancies. They created a nation of laws, not a nation where the law and rights are what a majority say they are. The more we chip away at the checks and balances and separation of powers of the Constitution, the more we resemble a democracy and a socialist state. What happens in a democracy? What we see happening today - polarity, division, and anger. Democracies drive a wedge between different groups and pit man v. woman, poor v. rich, brown v. white, .... That is why democracies do not survive the test of time.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

(1) Enacting across the board political reform measures that encourage consensus and reduce partisan dysfunction to achieve common-sense solutions. (2) Investing in long-ignored priorities like education reform and adequate funding for schools, reining in the cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals prices, providing incentives for affordable housing and job (re) training, addressing the immigration and climate crisis, and keeping the government from infringing on individual liberties and civil/privacy rights. (3) Reversing the national debt that is driving inflation & reducing the annual $1 TRILLION deficit that forces taxpayers to spend more in interest on the debt than on other pressing issues like education, housing, healthcare, immigration reform, job training, tax reform, etc.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Patrick Bohan (L)

Absolutely, since the House is to represent the people, the people should be able to frequently choose who represents them in office.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

YES

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I believe in term limits for all federal offices - 12 years for House, Senate, and Federal Judges (including the Supreme Court).

Ron Tupa (Unity)

I support many political reform measures including term limits for federal office. If elected, I pledge to limit my service to just 3 terms in the US House of Representatives (maximum of 6 years) and I have signed the TERM-LIMITS pledge to also co sponsor a Constitutional Amendment limiting all members of Congress to a maximum 3 terms in the US House and 2 terms in the US Senate.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I would want to model myself after the father of the Constitution, James Madison, because I want to restore his constitutional vision for the US.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

I have served with several former members of Congress when they served in the CO State Legislature including Congressman Perlmutter and Senator Udall.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I hear the same story over and over, it is difficult to run a business or raise a family in the face of high taxation and stagflation. Lowering taxes and significantly cutting federal spending should be the objective to rein in inflation.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

During my 14 years serving in the Colorado House of Representatives and State Senate I introduced 200 bills and passed 100 into law - so there are at least 100 memorable stories I could recount……

Tell us your favorite joke.

Patrick Bohan (L)

I really do not tell jokes - Instead, I generally recount funny events that I heard or experienced.

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

Patrick Bohan (L)

Yes and No. Yes, compromise can be made, for example, when drafting a budget but compromise has no role in protecting the rights of citizens and upholding the Constitution. For instance, Section 702 of FISA is a compromise of the people's 4th Amendment rights and should not be passed.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

Yes, bi-partisan compromise is essential for enacting good public policy; without it, the American public is victim to the see-saw of back and forth partisan maneuvering that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars and undermines the long term success of government programs that could ultimately benefit the public.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Patrick Bohan (L)

The House is responsible for establishing a balanced budget to 1. stop deficient spending and 2. reduce the always increasing 35 trillion-dollar national debt. The National debt is taxation without representation against our youth and unborn which is a violation of their rights, it is a national security risk because rogue countries such as China own part of our debt, and it is unsustainable and will ultimately lead to economic calamity. The bottom line, the House is failing to maintain a balanced budget.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

Similar to my actions as a CO state senator, I support a Balanced Budget Amendment to the US Constitution and pledge to vote against any irresponsible budget measure that doesn’t put us on a path of fiscal solvency during my 6 year pledge term.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Patrick Bohan (L)

I believe there are two important things that define us as human beings: 1. How we deal with adversity and 2. How we change when given a position of authority. Investigative powers and being elected to Congress provide some of us with a great deal of power. Unfortunately, I see investigative powers as a tool to go after political enemies and not so much as a tool to find equal justice for all. That is not a correct way to use investigative powers. Investigating wrongdoing is important, but their needs be checks and balances to hold everyone in the system accountable for finding justice, not finding vengeance by abusing power.

Ron Tupa (Unity)

In the most ethical, principled, and non-partisan way….not as a political weapon by one political party to score points over the other.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Patrick Bohan (L)

It is hard to get endorsements when it is against the law for nonprofit organizations who may support my political positions to endorse any political campaigns. For example, Campaign for Liberty cannot endorse me, but they definitely prefer how I answered their candidate survey. Link is listed in the next question.

What committees interest you?

Patrick Bohan (L)

My first preference is to sit on the judiciary committee but would also be interested in oversight and accountability, ways and means, appropriations, and budget committees.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Patrick Bohan (L)

My distrust of government stems from the fact I do not believe they are transparent and accountable. A government for the people must answer to the people. That means the government has a duty to be transparent and accountable. It is not an option.

Sergei Matveyuk (R)

Financial transparency and government accountability are keys to our representative government. The powers given to the government are given by the governed. Those we represent should have one hundred percent access to how we spend money as it is their money we are spending. There should be no special relationship between our representatives, family members and any government officials. Government officials and representatives are able to do their jobs because those we represent entrust us with making rules. If we break that trust and try to hide how we spend money or interfere with accountability, then those we represent should elect someone else.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

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 2024. Information below was calculated on May 2, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-two candidates ran for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 20 Republicans. That’s 4.00 candidates per district, more than in the previous three election cycles. There were 3.75 candidates per district in 2022, 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and 3.43 in 2018.

The number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House in Colorado in 2024 is also higher than any other year this decade.

The 3rd and 5th Congressional Districts were open, meaning no incumbents ran in those districts.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-3rd) ran for the 4th Congressional District, which Ken Buck held before he resigned from Congress on March 22, 2024. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-5th) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.

Nine candidates—three Democrats and six Republicans—ran for the 4th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Colorado in 2024.

Seven primaries—three Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. That’s less than the eight contested primaries in 2022 but more than the two contested primaries in 2020.

Two incumbents—Reps. Diana DeGette (D-1st) and Boebert—were in contested primaries in 2024. That's less than the four incumbents in contested primaries in 2022 but more than the one incumbent in a contested primary in 2020.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
