Where: EVERGREEN LAKE HOUSE
29614 Upper Bear Creek Road Evergreen

Sponsored by the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, this forum is open to the public. Questions may be submitted in advance. Each candidate will make a 7-minute presentation from 7 to 8 p.m.
Participants will include rival candidates seeking elected offices on various levels of government, starting with the highly contested governor’s race. Candidates for U.S. senator, U.S. Congress, state Senate District 16, state House District 25 and county commissioner also will attend.
Chamber president Melanie Nuchols will make the welcoming remarks. Doug Bell, editor of the Canyon Courier, is the forum moderator. Russ Campbell is organizing the event.
“The forum is not a debate,” Nuchols said. “It's a platform for candidates to synthesize their core values and major positions for a discriminating audience and the media.”
No questions will be taken from the floor, although the audience may submit written questions during the forum.
Prior to the event, questions may be e-mailed to the chamber at with the subject line, “Evergreen Candidate Forum Question.”
The general election will be Nov. 2. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 4. The forum lineup so far:
• Governor: John Hickenlooper (D), Dan Maes, R-Evergreen, and Tom Tancredo (American Constitution Party)
• U.S. Senate: Michael Bennet (D) and Ken Buck (R) • Jefferson County commissioner: Kathy Hartman (D) and Don Rosier (R) • State House District 25: Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, uncontested. • State Senate District 16: Jeanne Nicholson, D-Gilpin County, and Tim Leonard, R-Evergreen • U.S. House, District 6: John Flerlage, D-South Jeffco, and Mike Coffman, R-Aurora

Just bumping this up the page for anyone who missed it & might be interested!

Thanks for letting us know BP

I wonder how much mileage Maes will charge to his campaign. In reality it’s probably les than 5 miles from his home to the Lake House, but I bet he is able to work it to over 100 miles.
I have a question for Maes, when did he know that “Colorado Freedom Fund” was a Democratic funded PAC designed to get him elected in the primary.

Dan Maes was asked a direct question, not exact words, to tell the audience what your experience is and how it can help you to do the job. His answer had absolutely nothing to do with the question asked.

His only opponent there, Tom Tancredo, did respond about his experience, his voting record, and his work against illegal immigration.
Tancredo got a rousing applause and cheers.

Bennett had a representative there who spoke of all the wonderful things that Bennett proposed to do, though his record since his appointment showed none of it, and Ken Buck's wife spoke very well about who and what he stood for.

BTW Hickenlooper wasn't there nor did he have a representative there.

It definitely was a large crowd, with standing room only, as all the seats were filled.
