As the product of a working family and a small business owner, Cole understands the value of a dollar. Cole is the fiscally responsible voice the Western Slope needs to make the economy work better for everyone.

Cole will work with me in the State Senate to protect the values we hold dear on the Western Slope like protecting our water and preserving our small-town way of life.
