Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals. The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a common sense conservative public servant applying my military, small business, and educational experiences to making the lives of my fellow citizens better through the constraint of overbearing government regulation and taxation.

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?

• Mike has been standing up for our constitution since he joined the military out of High School and worked his way to graduate from West Point and became an Infantry officer. He understands what it means to serve the country.
• Mike has been signing both sides of a paycheck for the last 23 years. He understands business and the importance of protecting it from government overregulation. He believes free market capitalism is what has made America the best country in civilization.
• Mike is a man of faith that believes in conservative family values. He puts family first and believes there is no greater job than raising the next generation of patriots that will continued the traditions of American exceptionalism.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Mike has been a leader in Colorado against the devastating effects of fentanyl through his legislation. Mike has fought for agriculture and water in Colorado through his involvement in committees and commissions. Mike has passed a number of bills that help our first responders and military and will always stand up for his fellow veterans.

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

I try not to model my life after media, however an influential book I have read would be Atlas Shrugged. This is a cautionary tale of what happens when government gets out of control. Unfortunately, we are seeing this book from 1957 begin to play out in America.

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

Servant and humble leadership is the most important characteristic of an elected official. Too many people are running for office for personal glory and forgetting about who elected them and that they serve the people, not the other way around. One of the most important lessons I have learned over my tenure as an elected official is that your word is your bond. The truth is essential for honest dealing and even when it might hurt you politically, you must me trusted that what you say is in fact the honest truth.

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

I have never sought office for any reason other than service to others. I learned this selfless service from my time in the military where soldiers understand they might have to pay the ultimate sacrifice. I do not have an ideological agenda, instead I look for opportunities to make the citizens lives better. This usually comes from keeping the government out of our lives. Because I don’t push an ideology I am constantly listening to the people I represent and work on their behalf after thoroughly listening to their concerns.

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

The core responsibility of a congressman is to be the conduit between DC and the district for all things federal government related. The voices of the citizens in that district need to be listened to and acted on from a system of effective district offices. Additionally, there is a huge responsibility to bring as much of the citizens tax money back into the district through effective representation.

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

The two year term and broad representation keeps the people closer to the decisions made from this body.

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

I believe to serve at the national level you should have military experience and have been elected to at least one position. We are seeing people that have never proven their ability represent a constituent base get elected and too often we discover they are in these positions for only self promotion.

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

The erosion of the free market capitalist society is the greatest threat to our nation. America is nothing without the free market. The efforts to convert away from capitalism must be stopped if we are going to maintain our status in the world. Next would be our military readiness. We must retain the most lethal fighting forces in the world to secure our American freedoms.

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

Yes

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I am in favor of term limits. They should be reasonable so we can maintain a certain level of institutional knowledge. The days of spending more than 10 years in Congress should come to a close.

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

Yes, Alan Simpson which I had the honor of interning for in the US Senate.

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?

I have so many impactful stories of how my legislation has helped my constituents I wouldn’t know where to start. Even in a super minority I was able to get legislation passed that improved the lives of citizens. Just today I had a message from a Gold Start mom sending a picture of her son and a narrative of his service. These messages and Gold Star families should be a constant reminder that our system of government is worth fighting for and some have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

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

Compromise is paramount in the legislative process. My time serving as the Colorado House Minority Leader was marked with my ability to be successful in getting compromise out of the majority. Rarely do you get 100% of what you want out of legislation.

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?

The role of government has gotten out of control in our daily lives. We must have a balanced budget annually and ensure we are not putting the next generation in debt. I would work to be involved in the conversations about how we spend the people’s money and ensure we are not continuing to overburden our citizens with taxation.

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

These powers should be used exclusively for the oversight of government departments and agencies to ensure compliance with the letter of the law and the intent of the departments. I do not believe these powers should every be weaponized against individuals for political gain.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I do not seek or give out endorsements. I firmly believe the best endorsement if from the constituents.

What committees interest you?

Armed Services

Energy
Natural Resources

Agriculture

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Government has no ability to create income outside of citizen efforts. Government has no product or service that creates wealth. Therefore, the money is the citizens and government MUST have the highest level of transparency as it spends OUR money.

Noteworthy events

Arrested for driving under the influence and possessing a firearm while intoxicated

On September 30, 2022, Lynch was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and possessing a firearm while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced in February of 2023 to 18 months of probation, with monitored sobriety. He also received a deferred sentence for the weapons charge but was barred from possessing firearms and ordered to complete a handgun safety course.

On January 17, 2024, Lynch told the Associated Press, “I just made a mistake, and you don’t learn from success, you learn from failure. I’m a non-drinker today and plan on staying that way. I own it, and thank God nobody got hurt.”

On January 24, 2024, Lynch announced his resignation as Colorado state House Minority Leader. This announcement followed two failed no-confidence votes by the Republican caucus in the Colorado state House to remove Lynch from his position on account of his 2022 arrest.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Colorado

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
