10/29/2023 Weekly Update

Last Week:

  • You should have received your corrected/reprinted ballot by now. If not, go vote in-person at the library some time this week.
  • There were lots of letters to the editor in local papers this week. Today in the Gazette, and earlier in the week in the Courier (they only printed a few but made others available online).
  • I had a chance to dig into a couple of the Independent Expenditure Committees that have been sending mailers and text messages and learned some interesting things. Read more about Teller County for School Choice, and Citizens for a Vibrant Woodland Park.
  • Garfield RE-2 school district came close to being the second in Colorado (and the nation) to adopt the American Birthright Standards for social studies. They implemented a process involving community input, which resulted in those standards being rejected. Meanwhile, implementation of American Birthright in Woodland Park continues, with course curriculums unfinished and NCAA review pending.
  • Ads for the awesome challengers (Bryant, Barkley, Knott) were made available on YouTube if you want to share those.

Here’s what’s coming up this week:

  • VOTE!!!
    • Turn in your ballot in person if you can’t get it in the mail by Monday 10/30.
    • Ballots must be received by 11/7.
