I am proud to endorse Naomi Riess for Colorado House District 59. I have known Naomi for more than a decade, both as a client and as a partner on several planning projects, and I can confidently say she has the experience, insight, and dedication to represent our community well at the State Capitol.

Naomi is uniquely qualified to stimulate growth in our region while protecting the rural values we all share. She understands the balance between responsible development, property rights, and creating opportunities that keep families and businesses thriving in Southwest Colorado.

My own service has included four years as a La Plata County Commissioner and now as a Director for La Plata Electric Association (LPEA) District 2. Over the years, I’ve worked to strengthen infrastructure, support workforce housing, and advocate for sound local and state policies. In Naomi, I see a leader ready to carry that same commitment forward at the state level.

I encourage you to join me in supporting Naomi Riess for House District 59. She has the vision, integrity, and proven ability to represent us effectively.
