2022 CO Senate race: on Government Reform


Eli Bremer: Agriculture is under attack with burdensome regulations

Our nation's agriculture industry is under attack with burdensome regulations which increases the cost and availability of healthy foods. Colorado has substantial production capabilities for healthy food that must be supported rather than hindered in their operations. We also should incentivise healthy choices for food and exercise as these activities assist in the overall health of our nation.

Joe O`Dea: Doesn't challenge 2020 election results

O'Dea, who does not challenge the 2020 presidential election outcome, said he would accept the U.S. Senate primary election results and that he will vote for former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, who doesn't deny the 2020 outcome, in the GOP primary for secretary of state. "I've been very clear about my stance," O'Dea said. "Biden's our president. He's lousy."

Joe O`Dea: Cut size & cost of bureaucracy

O'Dea said one of his main issues if he gets into the U.S. Senate would be to reduce the size, and cost of the federal bureaucracy, and the regulations it imposes.

Ron Hanks: Our elections NOT secure; restore election integrity

Our Elections are NOT secure. The electronic systems we use--such as Dominion--are NOT SECURE in any national security sense of the definition. That equipment is built in China, by foreign workers, with wireless equipment installed per the build sheet of that equipment, with computer chips that are uncertifiable. We must restore Election Integrity.

Without The People's full trust and confidence in the validity of our elections, all public policy decisions are irrelevant because they do not have 'the consent of the governed.' Secure, open, and fair elections must be the backbone of our elections if our country is to survive.
