Platform for You! 1. Nix Colorado’s 5% state income tax. 2. Use TABOR to give Coloradans bigger tax refunds. 3. Cut Administrative and Bureaucratic Expenses and use the savings to pay school teachers more. 4. Reduce crime by going after the criminals. 5. Make Colorado #1 in America
for energy production. - Why President Trump will endorse Our Campaign 1, No other Republican Gubernatorial candidate supports President Trump. None use #Trump or #MAGA in social media posts. 2, Our slogan is Let’s Make Colorado Great Again! 3, There isn’t another Republican that can win a Gubernatorial General Election in Colorado. 4, My story is same as Trumps. CO (D) tried to get Clark. Read My story on our web page: www.LetsMakeColoradoGreatAgain.com 5, Our Platform is 100% Republican 100% MAGA 100% Trump. No other Republican candidate for Governor of Colorado can make that claim.
- CO AG, and now Candidate for Governor of Colorado, Phil Weiser (D) falsely accused me, Jason (R) Clark, of “stealing my customers money.” I sued Phil Weiser and the CO AG and proved my innocence. #WokeWeiser then revoked my securities licenses and shut down my business after 30 years in the investment industry. No fraud No Victims No damages No customer complaints No compliance issues. A+ investment results A+ service A+ products. This is one of the reasons why I am running for Governor of Colorado. #WokeWeiser is just another lying scumbag attorney, and the worst possible choice to Govern Colorado. You can read my story and my platform for all Coloradans on my web page.
