Let’s Clean It Up, Colorado.

Colorado is ready for something different — something honest, practical, and independent.

My name is Jon Collamer, and I’m running for Governor of Colorado as an Independent because leadership should serve people — not parties.
We’re at a crossroads, and the challenges before us are real:

• A mental-health system that fails when people need help most

• Housing costs that push families further away from stability

• Energy decisions based on politics — not long-term strategy

• A government that feels distant, expensive, and unaccountable

Colorado deserves better — and we’re going to build it together.

Why I'm Running

Colorado should be leading the nation — not ranking near the bottom in mental health access, affordability, and system coordination.

This campaign focuses on three core priorities:

🟦 Mental Wellness

Move from crisis response to prevention, access, dignity, and community support.

🟨 Affordable Housing

Practical solutions, responsible reform, and community pathways — not endless studies.

🟥 Energy Independence

Innovation powered by Colorado resources — geothermal, renewables, and smart infrastructure — not political talking points.

This isn’t a partisan platform — it’s a human one.

Who I Am

I’m a Westerner — shaped by mountains, open space, and the belief that freedom comes with responsibility.

I was born near Mount Shasta, raised among the red rocks of Sedona, and built my life here in Colorado.

My experience isn’t in career politics — it’s in real-world work:

• Education

• Restaurants

• Media and communication

• Clean energy consulting

• Youth and community nonprofits

At 19, I ran for Public Utility Commissioner — not to climb a ladder, but to learn how systems function and who they serve.

Since then, my work has centered around creativity, community, and helping people move beyond division.

A Legacy of Service

My family’s history runs alongside America’s story:

• 1777: Anthony Collamer fought in the Battle of Saratoga.

• 1850s: Senator Jacob Collamer — known as the Green Mountain Socrates — stood firmly against slavery despite enormous political pressure.

• Colorado generations included teachers, storekeepers, and community builders.

The lesson wasn't prestige — it was service.

A Different Kind of Leadership

This movement isn’t powered by anger — it’s powered by purpose.
It isn’t driven by ideology — it’s guided by common sense.
It isn’t controlled by a party — it’s led by people.

Colorado has always been independent — not because it was easy, but because it was right.
We solve problems. We innovate. We lead.

It’s time to lead again.

Join the Movement

This campaign isn’t about one candidate — it’s about a state refusing to be bought, stalled, or divided.

If you’re tired of politics that argue more than they solve — then you’re already part of this movement.

Together, we can take Colorado from last to first — in mental health, opportunity, trust, and community strength.

Let’s Clean It Up, Colorado.
