Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Jason Christopher Wilkat. I am 42 years old. I am originally from Brooklyn New York. New York was a great place to live while Giuliani was mayor, now not so much. I would not go back to New York at this time. I am the owner of a Denver based plumbing and heating company. Big Apple Plumbing and Heating LLC. I have been married to my wonder wife for 8 years and we have 3 small children. Our family currently resides in Weld county, the town of Firestone. Firestone is a great place to raise kids. Also it is mostly Republicans with residents who still love our country and hold our police department and all our first responders in high regard with the utter most respect.

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?

• No Mandates! This is America and you are FREE to choose how to live your life government should not have a say in your personal decisions.
• Lower Taxes! I would love to make Colorado and income tax free state. Like the great state of Florida, Wyoming, and Alaska!
• Less Government! The government is to involved in our day to day lives. I'd like to push back on Washington to be less involved on the day to day lives of its citizens.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

First off I would like to say I love my country. And it makes me sick to my stomach for my children watching what is unfolding in this country at this time, worrying about the future they will inherit. I am not a politician, I have no idea about politics, I just no that something must be done, we as a party need to rise up and take a stand for our children or they will have no country to inherit. It makes me sick to watch what the liberals are doing to this country. I felt the need to try and do something. I have been running a business for 8 years, and if I learned anything from the greatest president this country has ever had Donald Trump, running a government is like running a business only harder. And I promise to do the best I can for our great state of Colorado. God Bless Colorado, and God Bless the United States of America. Trump 2024!
