COLORADO FIRST. PEOPLE OVER POLITICS.

Jon Collamer — Independent for Governor (2026)

Clean It Up Colorado

Colorado is one of the most independent-minded states in America — but too many families are being left behind.

Housing costs are rising. Mental health systems are strained. Energy bills keep climbing. And too often, government focuses on politics instead of results.

I’m Jon Collamer, running for Governor to restore opportunity, lower costs, and bring practical leadership back to Colorado.

A SIMPLE PROMISE

People over politics
Results over excuses
Freedom with responsibility
A future that works for everyone

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN COLORADO

Too many hardworking people are feeling the pressure.

Families are struggling with housing costs
Mental health care is difficult to access
Workers are being pushed farther from opportunity
Seniors are being priced out of their communities
Trust in government is declining

Colorado deserves better than this trajectory.

WHY I’M RUNNING

Colorado deserves a Governor who answers to the people — not political machines, party insiders, or corporate interests.

I’m running as an Independent because too many hardworking Coloradans feel ignored while costs continue to rise, communities struggle, and politics becomes more focused on division than results.

Too many families are working harder than ever just to stay afloat.

The best solutions don’t belong to Democrats or Republicans — they belong to the people of Colorado.

That means leadership that:

Brings people together across communities and backgrounds
Listens to residents instead of political consultants
Focuses on practical solutions that improve daily life
Puts results ahead of headlines and political games

COLORADO’S FUTURE STARTS NOW

Clean It Up Colorado

People Over Politics. Colorado First.

Why I’m Running

Colorado deserves a Governor who answers to the people — not political machines, party insiders, or corporate interests.

I’m running as an Independent because too many hardworking Coloradans feel ignored while the cost of living rises, communities struggle, and politics becomes more focused on division than results.

The best solutions do not belong to Democrats or Republicans — they belong to the people of Colorado.

That means leadership that:

Brings people together across communities and backgrounds
Listens to what is really happening on the ground
Delivers practical solutions that improve everyday life
Focuses on results instead of political theater

This campaign is about restoring trust in government, strengthening our communities, and building a future that works for everyone.

Colorado First. People Over Politics.

Independent leadership that actually works.

Healthy States Create Healthy Unions

Colorado deserves a mental wellness system that works when people need it — not weeks later.

Too many Coloradans are suffering in silence while the system meant to help them falls behind. Families are left searching for answers. Emergency rooms and law enforcement are overwhelmed. People in crisis are too often left to navigate their hardest moments alone.

This isn’t political — it’s personal.

If you or someone you love has ever struggled to find help, you know the system is not working the way it should.

A System That Actually Works

My plan is simple: build a mental wellness system focused on access, prevention, and community support.

I will establish 24/7 Crisis & Wellness Centers across every region of Colorado, giving people immediate access to care in safe, community-based environments.

This means:

Faster crisis response
Trained de-escalation teams
Local access to support and recovery services
Reduced reliance on emergency rooms and law enforcement
More preventative and early-intervention care

We will also expand trauma recovery programs, youth and family support services, veteran and first responder care, and mental wellness education across Colorado communities.

When we help people earlier, we reduce long-term suffering and build stronger communities.

Learning From What Works

We do not need to reinvent the wheel.

States like Massachusetts and Hawaii have shown that community-based care, integrated services, and early access to treatment lead to better outcomes.

Colorado can build on those proven approaches — and create one of the strongest mental wellness systems in America.

A Healthier Colorado

When mental wellness improves, everything improves:

Safer communities
Lower addiction rates
Reduced healthcare costs
Stronger families
Better outcomes for youth
A more connected and productive Colorado

Healthy people create healthy communities.

Healthy States Create Healthy Unions.

Affordable Housing That Works

Homes

If you can’t afford to live here, something is broken.

Colorado must take bold, practical action so working people, families, and young Coloradans can afford to build a future here again.

Right now, too many people are being priced out of their own communities — forced to move farther away from work, delay homeownership, or leave Colorado altogether.

That is not sustainable, and it is not the Colorado people grew up believing in.

Real Solutions

We can fix this with practical, scalable solutions that increase affordability while protecting the character of our communities.

Priorities

Expand workforce and starter housing where it’s needed most
Convert underused buildings into livable housing
Support first-time homeownership opportunities
Partner with builders, nonprofits, and local communities to increase supply faster
Streamline approvals while still protecting neighborhoods and infrastructure
Prioritize Colorado residents over speculative investment practices

This is not about overbuilding or overregulating.

It is about building smarter, lowering costs, and creating housing that actually matches the needs of Colorado families and workers.

Housing should not feel impossible.

It should be a foundation for stability, dignity, and opportunity.

Because when housing works:

Families stay rooted
Workers stay local
Young people can build a future
Communities grow stronger

Keep Colorado Livable.

Energy Independence & Economic Strength

Power

When energy costs rise, families feel it immediately at the kitchen table.

Colorado has the opportunity to lower costs, create strong jobs, and build an economy that works for everyday people — by investing in clean, reliable, homegrown energy.

Instead of depending heavily on out-of-state energy sources, we can produce, store, and manage more of our own energy right here in Colorado.

Practical Solutions

Expand geothermal energy to position Colorado as the “Iceland of the Rockies”
Strengthen energy storage and grid resilience to reduce outages and stabilize prices
Grow in-state energy production and innovation to keep jobs and investment in Colorado
Create high-quality energy jobs across both rural and urban communities
Build a more reliable, modern energy system that serves Colorado residents first

Stable energy means stable monthly bills for Colorado families.

This isn’t about ideology — it’s about lower costs, reliable power, and long-term economic strength.

Energy independence means more than what’s on the grid.

It means stronger small businesses, more predictable household budgets, and a more resilient Colorado economy built for the future.

When Colorado controls its energy, Colorado controls its future.

Clean Government Promise — Integrity

Colorado deserves leadership that works for the people — not insiders or political machines.

For too long, government has been shaped by lobbyists, special interests, and backroom deals instead of the people it is meant to serve.

My administration will focus on transparency, accountability, and real, measurable results.

That Means:

Audit waste, duplication, and inefficiency across state agencies
End sweetheart contracts and noncompetitive insider deals
Strengthen and enforce strict conflict-of-interest laws with real consequences
Publish public performance dashboards so taxpayers can track results in real time

Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money is being spent — and what it is actually accomplishing.

This isn’t about party politics.

It is about restoring trust and making government work again.

People Over Politics. Results Over Excuses.
