It’s an honor and privilege to congratulate Commissioner Clyde Church on his re-election victory in the 2022 La Plata County commissioner race. To everyone that supported our independent campaign, I thank you from the bottom of my heart (and I'll reach out to each of you). Congrats also to Brad Blake, who ran a strong campaign that spoke to many citizens with his experience and good work. Those two and their families deserve our thanks for their work in the past and all that will require their efforts in the years ahead.

While our team hoped for a different result, I’m 100% confident in the integrity of the election and vote count. All three county commissioners deserve our advice, support and encouragement to be successful on behalf of the citizens of La Plata County.

My hope remains that everyone embraces their role in making our community, our state of Colorado, our country and the world a better place.
