Outside money is sending the wrong message to our HD59 counties, aiming to divide us when we need unity and leadership. Over $220,000 from outside PACs like Colorado Way Forward has been spent to disparage the most qualified candidate, Clark Craig. These negative campaigns miss the mark: Clark Craig has the experience and proven leadership to serve HD59 effectively. Even The Durango Herald expressed confidence in Clark as the right choice. Local leaders echo this, recognizing his strong track record. Meanwhile, Clark’s opponent’s failure to attend key debates raises concerns about her commitment to our community.
Southwest Colorado is facing a housing crisis, and Clark is leading the charge to make affordable housing accessible. Through his work with the Regional Housing Alliance, as mayor of Ignacio, and as a business owner, Clark has driven real change by creating new housing opportunities in communities like Ignacio, Bayfield and Durango. Additionally, Clark has tackled child care challenges by securing funding for new facilities in Durango, setting a model for the entire state.
Leadership matters, and Clark’s extensive experience proves his capability. His role as mayor of Ignacio, involvement in key community boards like the Regional Housing Alliance and Economic Alliance, and ability to collaborate across party lines underscore his dedication to finding solutions. Under Clark’s leadership, Ignacio has seen improvements in housing, economic growth and community relations. Ignore the outside money's messaging. Clark Craig is the right choice for HD59, ready to bring effective, experienced leadership to tackle the challenges facing our region.
