DENVER — Two elected officials representing a hefty swath of the Front Range are teaming up with a Colorado radio host because they say they have had enough of rogue judges releasing violent criminals onto the streets, only to repeat offend.

Their desire to change that trajectory led them to form a new non-profit educational group aimed at shining a light on those they believe need to move on from the bench.

Conservative talk show host Jeff Hunt, State Rep. Dan Woog (R-Frederick), and 4th Congressional District CU Regent Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch), have joined forces to form Law and Order Action, which they say is “dedicated to holding pro-crime judges, district attorneys and lawmakers accountable.”

Woog’s legislative district covers a chunk of the I-25 corridor between the northern metro Denver area and Longmont, while McNulty’s district runs from Fort Collins to Douglas County, including a huge chunk of eastern Colorado. Hunt is co-host of “The Jeff and Bill Show” on 710 KNUS.
