It has been a strong start to our second semester as we have welcomed students back into our classrooms for both in-person and online learning. I have had the opportunity to visit many schools over the past three weeks and could not be more proud of our students, teachers, and staff for their outstanding work. In strong partnership with our state and county health agencies, we continue to closely monitor the prevalence of COVID-19 in our community.

A good friend likes to say that “when someone shows you who they are, believe them…” Perhaps this is just a more personal way to observe that “actions speak louder than words”. But, in either case, this principle should be part of how we decide to cast our votes, not only in this election, but always.

Your list of Weld County candidates for the 2020 election.
I am endorsing Mike Welch for Weld County Commissioner for District 3 as a person who will stand up for the citizens of District 3. We need leadership, not a follower of the crowd. I remind you that your vote is important. Use it.
Mike Welch will be an independent voice at that table, advocating for all the citizens of District 3. He can be elected but you must vote. If you do not vote, and let Lori Saine win, you are giving up your voice at the County Commissioner table. Do not let that happen. Vote for Mike Welch for Weld County Commissioner for District 3.
Weld County is a big old place. Emphasis on old. The longer I live here, (since 2005) the more I realize that the groups, families and interests that have done things here in Weld County, in the past, are still in operation today.
On September 26th & 27th the Western Plains Historic Preservation Association (WPHPA) hosted displays of prehistoric artifacts and demonstrations at the old YMCA facility at the Sunrise Mine in Sunrise, Wyoming.
Are we beginning to see a split in Weld County citizen's attitudes about local candidates?

Chris Scalia: Friendship between my father and Ginsburg was remarkable
Over the last 20 years or so, we have observed the deep ideological divide that has evolved in our Country, driven partly by social media. Accusations of “fake news”, misogyny, racism, “science denial”, “deplorables”, “selfish bastards”, “libtards”, “baby killers” and other, similar invectives have become routine attacks by one tribe against another.
Instead, I would argue that the real missing link in our country today is leadership.
We Need respectability and vision from the Commissioners - Michael Welch
We all are longing for unity, and we are looking for leadership that inspires us to be our best selves. That is the type of leader I aspire to be.
It’s time to LEAD! It’s time to stand proud for your beliefs and to speak your mind!
