A Local Policy Expert, Nonprofit Boardmember, and Community Volunteer Focused on Strengthening Our Rural Economy and Protecting Our Water
A local policy expert, Cole serves the community as a nonprofit and government boardmember and community volunteer.
As a Garfield County Planning and Zoning Boardmember, Cole is dedicated to making sure local land use decisions put the interests of our rural communities, ranches, and farming families first. As a Middle Colorado Watershed Council boardmember, he is committed to protecting our watersheds. Cole also serves on the board of the Colorado River Valley Economic Development Partnership, where he works alongside other stakeholders to diversify and strengthen the economy of the Colorado River Valley.
Cole is a volunteer with the nonprofits Lift Up and Literacy Outreach, serving at the local soup kitchen and working as English language tutor.
As our State Senator, we can count on Cole Buerger to work to diversify and strengthen our rural economy with good paying jobs that don’t require long commutes, protect our land and water, fund a world-class school system, fix our broken healthcare system, drive down the cost of housing, and update our infrastructure–including our roads, telecommunications, and rural broadband services–for the 21st century. Cole Buerger is ready to make sure the voices of the Western Slope are heard loud and clear in Denver.
Cole lives in Glenwood Springs with his partner, Mitchell and their dog, Ellie Mae. When he is not building his small businesses or traveling the campaign trail, you can find Cole enjoying history podcasts, fishing, and taking in the beauty of the West Slope with his family.
