As the State Representative for House District 48 and House Minority Whip, I understand how important it is to elect strong, thoughtful leaders who will stand up for Colorado families, local communities, and the values of rural Colorado. That is why I am proud to endorse Naomi Riess for Colorado House District 59.

Naomi has lived and worked in Southwest Colorado for more than three decades. Her professional experience in land-use planning, combined with her extensive service to local schools, agriculture, youth programs, businesses, and community organizations, has given her a deep understanding of the district and the people she hopes to represent.

Naomi will bring practical experience, careful preparation, and a strong commitment to local control to the Colorado House.

This race is critical to maintaining balance in the Colorado Legislature and ensuring that rural Coloradans continue to have a strong voice at the State Capitol. I encourage the voters of House District 59 to support Naomi Riess and help elect a representative who is ready to work hard, defend their interests, and lead with integrity.
