John,

We’re writing today to give you an early warning about something truly dangerous unfolding on Colorado’s Eastern Plains. 

In April, Colorado politics watchers were shocked to see Incumbent Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) take a humiliating defeat at the Colorado Republican assembly for Colorado’s 4th Congressional district that saw him lose his spot at the top of the ballot and nearly lose his Congressional seat in one fell swoop.

The man who dealt the unexpected blow to Buck was one Bob Lewis, an Elbert County real estate agent. While Lewis is a political outsider and little is known about him, what we do know should be deeply concerning. 

At the assembly, Lewis criticized Buck for referring to believers of the 2020 stolen election theory as "conspiracy theorists" and received assistance from the extreme right-wing FEC United, a Castle Rock based Colorado militia group, known for calling for Governor Polis to be hanged. 

Much like how the traditional Conservative Scott Tipton was unseated by insurrectionist aiding Congresswomen Lauren Boebert. Across the state we are seeing a resurgent wave of extreme right voters throwing out their own members of Congress who they don’t believe are radical enough. In CD-7 an election conspiracist also managed to beat a sitting Republican Congressman, Doug Lamborn, making it to the top of their ballot as well.

If Bob Lewis beats Buck our campaign will be the only thing holding back a Boebert 2.0 from representing over 700,000 Coloradans in Congress. 

This November, whether we are taking on the devil we know, Congressman Buck, or the devil we don’t, Bob Lewis, we will be running on bringing people together, not dividing them. We’ll be fighting for the notion that rural Coloradans deserve a right to good jobs, fair wages, election integrity, and bodily autonomy. 

We are running an honest campaign based on the real issues affecting Eastern Coloradans. Partisan rhetoric and furthering divisive conflict between Americans solves nothing and should not be the ambition of leadership. American unity is more important now than at any point in modern American history!

Will you stand up to hate, bigotry, and extremism and join our fight to bring leadership with integrity to Colorado’s 4th Congressional District?

The Eastern Plains of Colorado’s 4th district have been left behind by both parties and its no surprise that a vacuum has emerged with the most extreme voices rising to the top. Rural Colorado deserves better and they deserve real solutions, not the political theater of the extreme right. 

Thank you.
