My name is Travis Nelson, and I am running as an unaffiliated candidate for Colorado Senate District 35 because rural Southern Colorado deserves a senator who shows up for ALL PEOPLE, not just one party, one town, or one political machine.

This campaign is about Relentless Representation. It is about water, jobs, medical access, small businesses, farmers, ranchers, veterans, seniors, working families, and the communities that too often get ignored until election season. SD35 is massive, rural, diverse, and proud. From the Arkansas Valley to the Spanish Peaks, from the San Luis Valley to the Eastern Plains, our district deserves a voice that is loud, honest, and impossible to ignore.
 
I am not running to serve party bosses. I am running to serve the people. I believe rural Colorado needs real investment in water infrastructure, affordable health care, economic development, fire mitigation, agriculture, education, and good-paying local jobs. I believe our small towns are worth fighting for. I believe our seniors deserve dignity, our young people deserve opportunity, and our working families deserve a government that remembers they exist.
 
My campaign motto is simple: One Vote for ALL PEOPLE in our district. That means Democrats, Republicans, unaffiliated voters, farmers, ranchers, miners, teachers, nurses, small-business owners, veterans, parents, students, and every person who calls Southern Colorado home.
 
This is not a campaign built from Denver talking points. This is a campaign built on dirt roads, Main Streets, community events, small businesses, water meetings, fire calls, schools, diners, and front porches across rural Senate District 35.
 
I am asking for your vote, your support, and your help. Get involved. Volunteer. Donate. Share the message. Help us build a campaign that belongs to the people of Senate District 35.
 
 
 

GRATEFUL for your support,

Travis Nelson
