an independent voice FOR WESTERN COLORADO

Democrat Cole Buerger for State Senate (D5)

Cole understands the issues facing rural communities and working families in District 5, from strengthening our local economy and ensuring the Western Slope remains affordable for families, to defending fundamental freedoms like abortion rights and the right to vote.

Prioritizing Rural Communities

A fifth-generation rural Coloradan, Cole understands that rural communities are the heart of our state. As our state senator, he'll work to support local businesses, farms, and ranches, bring back West Slope tax dollars to fix our roads and modernize our infrastructure, and protect local decision making from one-size-fits-all laws in Denver.

Support Working Coloradans

Working Coloradans need a state senator who will fight for them, not special interests. Families and local businesses in Colorado support Cole because of his commitment to fully funding our school system and paying our teachers, strengthening the social safety net, fixing a broken healthcare system, and driving down the cost of housing in our state.

Protect Our Water & Environment

The Western Slope is the most beautiful place in the world, and Cole understands the importance of protecting it and our water, our air, and our soil. As our state senator, he would invest in water basin health and conservation, expanding clean energy generation, and protecting common sense clean air and water standards.

Defend Democracy and Freedom

Today, some extremists are working to undermine our fundamental rights, from the right to choose to the right to vote. Our next state senator must come prepared to defend freedom from those who want to strip it away. There is no room for equivocation, and Cole is ready to lead the fight to protect our rights and make government work for you.
