I'm a 4th generation native to the San Luis Valley and have never left.  I graduated from Sangre de Cristo High School and Adams State University in Business Administration.  I am a licensed nursing home  and assisted living and home health administrator. I’ve been working in corporate America’s long term care industry for nearly 30 years.  I’m a blue collar working American business woman.  I have started my own businesses and built and renovated buildings working with land developers and contractors.  I am a mom and have raised my children on a shoestring and helped them get through college.  My son was in the Air Force, my Dad in the Army and my stepdad was a Vietnam Veteran.  I am a farmer and have experience fighting for water.  This is not time to hire a rookie in regards to water.  SLV water is too precious.  It will be well protected under my watch.

Before I decided to run for this office, I asked a lot of people’s advice.  One of those was Donald Valdez.  He said, ”Carol, you should run… just know why you're running”.  That’s easy!  I know exactly why I’m running.  I’ve had enough and I want to help at a whole other level.  I’ve been watching what’s been happening at the state level.  I can’t understand it.  

I can check the boxes.  My resume is full of experience from the barn to the boardroom which can serve us in house district 62.   

God has blessed me with the experience needed to legislate in Denver.  I can sit on the health committees, agriculture committees, business and finance committees, budget committees with skills to ask knowledgeable questions and not be snowed by the bull.

Anderson announces plan for Citizen Election Academy

She has proposed creation of a Citizen Election Academy in which voters would receive greater education on the elections process, and the possibility to become more engaged in elections.

Anderson is a former Jefferson County clerk. She will face Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold in the Nov. 8 general election.

In a previous interview with The Fort Morgan Times, Anderson compared the idea of a Citizen Election Academy to a Citizen’s Police Academy, in which those being served have a chance to gain more knowledge of policing, whether or not they ever become a police officer. Anderson has pledged to launch the academy should she be elected as secretary of state.

While she has contended elections are fair in Colorado, Anderson has acknowledged there are those who continue to have concern.

“Citizens of good conscience have questions about our system once they drop their ballot off in a ballot box or in their mailbox,” she said. “Your friends, neighbors and community leaders from all political persuasions can engage to serve as ambassadors who understand our elections process to inform their communities and push back on disinformation or confusion.”

The concept has drawn broad support, Anderson said.
