In Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, independent voters make up 43% of registered voters and hold the key to the election. Independents register that way for a reason – they make up their own minds on the issues facing Colorado and the nation. I hope independents will consider carefully their choice in the November election.

Lauren Boebert wants “the church” to tell the government what to do; she denies that climate change exists; she’s against health care for veterans affected by the toxic burning pits in Iraq; she voted against infrastructure improvement for Colorado and the nation; she’s against women’s rights; she voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices for seniors. She’s a Trump puppet and a puppet of Majorie Taylor Greene. And these are just a few reasons why she’s unfit to represent the people of Western Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Adam Frisch is a no-nonsense, common-sense leader who understands the real issues facing Colorado and the nation. Getting things done for the citizens of Colorado is the reason he’s running for Congress. And he knows that getting things done requires thoughtful analysis and reaching across the political aisle.

Independents, please look at the facts in this election.
