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 collaborator on planning projects, and I can say without hesitation that she brings the experience, insight and dedication our region deserves at the State Capitol.
Southwest Colorado is facing real challenges – from housing affordability and infrastructure demands to the pressures of growth and changing economic conditions. We need someone ready to step in on day one and work toward practical solutions that reflect our community’s values.
Naomi has a deep understanding of our region – its land, its people and the careful balance needed to support both. Through her professional work, she has helped property owners navigate complex land-use decisions, always with an eye toward responsible growth and long-term sustainability. She understands how to protect rural character while creating opportunities that allow families and local businesses to thrive.
I encourage voters to join me in supporting Naomi Riess. She will represent our community with clarity, commitment and a strong sense of responsibility.
