We Have to Keep Senate District 6 Red!

The District
Colorado Senate District 6 is based in Southwest Colorado, covering all of Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, Costilla, Dolores, La Plata, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan, and San Miguel Counties. Communities in the district include Montrose, Olathe, Ouray, Mountain Village, Telluride, Silverton, Dove Creek, Cortez, Mancos, Towaoc, Durango, Bayfield, and Pagosa Springs. The district is also home to the Southern Ute Indian Reservation.

Cleave Simpson has represented SD-6 since the last election, and before that he was Senator for SD-35 restricted. We need to keep him in his seat and fend off his Democrat opponent. Senate 6 is largely rural Colorado, and Democrats have proven they cannot manage rural Colorado and will turn beautiful cities like Alamosa into gang-ridden and illegal-trodden Denver.

The Democrat
Simpson’s opponent “Vivian” Smotherman has nothing bad to say about Cleave; Smotherman acknowledges, “he’s a very good guy.” Smotherman goes so far as to say Cleave Simpson had some very good accomplishments; Smotherman is running because he hates Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, and Donald Trump. Smotherman brings nothing to the table other than more anti-conservative anger and an inces sant need to post videos about being transsexual.

Smotherman has no voting record or experience in local government or state government. His entire identity is wrapped into transgenderism. Rural Colorado does not buy this agenda, and it never will. Coloradans need fair and sane representation that works for them, not for progressive special interests.

Cleave Simpson

Cleave Simpson has served the District so well that even his Democrat opponent cannot find a bad thing to say about him.

As a fourth-generation farmer and rancher in the San Luis Valley, Simpson said he looks at policy through a lens of rural Colorado. To him, representing that population is paramount. “If you look at the Colorado state Senate, there’s a handful of senators that represent rural areas,” said Christine Arbogast, a federal affairs liaison who’s worked with Simpson for nearly two decades on water-related issues. “The rural areas need strong leadership and a strong spokesperson.”

“From my perspective, I’m not sure we could have a better senator. Coming from the water world, he understands it,” said Steve Wolff, general manager of the Southwestern Water Conservation District.

Simpson sponsored Colorado Senate Bill SB24-037, titled "Study Green Infrastructure for Water Quality Management." The bill directs the team at the University of Colorado Boulder Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience and Colorado State University's Energy Institute to work directly with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to identify new pathways to restore rivers and watersheds in Colorado, improve water quality, and reduce emissions associated with water and wastewater treatment.

Cleave Simpson also advocates for better funding for education systems, both higher education and K-12. Cleave is also focused on access to and availability of quality health care, including mental health, as rural Colorado is often under-represented with mental health care.

Given Senator Simpson’s commitment to improving prosperity in rural areas and his wide-ranging support across SD-6, there is not one good reason to vote for Smotherman. However, we have seen several Colorado elections in which gender identity garners votes from people wanting to be progressive and fearing they’ll be labeled as “anti-trans” for not supporting the media’s DEI candidate. The legislators who benefit from DEI and win their elections, like Stephanie Vigil & “Brianna” Brian Titone, then go on to write laws that hurt nuclear families in their quest for more gender ideology. We cannot afford to sail the expansive and beautiful Senate District 6 down the river for a DEI candidate; we must elect the candidate with experience and love of rural Colorado- someone who has already proven his work ethic and ability to work for all Coloradans…sitting Senator Cleave Simpson.
