As a third generation Boulder County native who comes from a long line of eco-conscious farmers, conservationists, teachers and artists, I am proudly voting and supporting Cliff Willmeng for Boulder County Commissioner and Theresa Stets for House of Representatives District 12. The reasons are many.
What we will get with Theresa and Cliff. Honesty, transparency, truth and integrity. With Cliff as a Commissioner, and Stets serving District 12 they will bring a tireless devotion to the people taking on the special interests; the oil and gas and fracking industry and others who believe in profits over life. Willmeng and Stets will not sell their souls to these devils. They are simnply principled. I know this first hand as Cliff and Theresa have shown up to forums and debates and invites and answered every single question of those attending, never avoiding the hard questions and issues like the other guy does.
Theresa Stets for District 12 and Cliff Willmeng for Boulder County Commissioner supports true, enduring environmental protection and rights for nature which only protects us all! They both authentically advocate for the working people and have done so in proactive, profound, grass roots ways. Cliff and Theresa truly supports the local agricultural heritage of the region, rallying for sustainable, local, healthy farming communities and they both believe in equitable and affordable housing for ALL including going to bat for a flourishing economy for workers, students and the overall Front Range community. The difference between Cliff and Theresa and the others is that Cliff and Theresa walk the talk and they have both proven this time and again.
