The Pagosa Springs Sun: Support For Naomi Riess

July 16, 2026

A newly published letter to the editor in the Pagosa Springs Sun offers a strong endorsement of Naomi Riess for House District 59, written by an attorney and rancher who has known Naomi for years through shared community involvement.

The letter praises Naomi as thoughtful, prepared, and effective — someone who listens carefully and understands how decisions made at the State Capitol affect everyday people living and working in rural Colorado. It highlights her attentiveness to property rights, land use, water, and local control, noting that she approaches these issues with common sense and respect for the people most directly impacted.

The writer describes Naomi as someone who does her homework, asks the right questions, and is focused on practical solutions and accountable government rather than slogans or political posturing — concluding with a full, unhesitating endorsement of her candidacy.
