In an interview posted Friday, Free State Colorado looks at how voters can best determine if a candidate for office truly meets the values of voters.
The discussion takes a look at the issue of pro-gun candidates, something nearly all conservative candidates claim. In many cases, those claiming to support gun rights are absent of a voting record or often any support to the claim, and some in office are absent of any evidence of fighting for gun rights, the video clip says.
“We don’t need people who are just going to go in and vote against the [anti] gun bills,” said RMGO’s Ian Escalante. “That’s like saying you want a raise because you show up on time for work. You are doing the very, very bare minimum.”
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has a process for endorsing those it finds to meet the standards of pro-gun advocates. Those to have earned the endorsement include 10 candidates for the Colorado House, two in the Colorado Senate, three in local races and one candidate for district attorney.
