An Appeal to Patriots and Veteran Voters on Flag Day

32 years in uniform. One final tour of duty.

These are the unfiltered thoughts of Ron Hanks — Air Force veteran, former Colorado State Representative, and candidate for U.S. Congress in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District.

No spin. No handlers.

Just a citizen-soldier who still believes the model our Founders established is worth fighting for — one more time.

It has been an emotional stretch of patriotic holidays — Memorial Day, D-Day, Flag Day, with Independence Day approaching in our nation’s 250th year. I’m grateful President Trump is leading, but I see real threats on the horizon and at home.

I served 32 years in the Air Force — active, reserve, civilian, enlisted, and commissioned. More than half my life in uniform. I’m fully vested in this country, yet uneasy about where we stand. Our government has grown too powerful, operated covertly against its own citizens, wasted our treasure, and laundered it for their political benefit.  It belonged to our families and children.

This government no longer represents us. Career politicians treat their districts as inconveniences while lobbyists and DC insiders pull the strings. They mail deceptive LIAR FLYERS by the ton, dodge town halls and interviews, and protect the status quo.

I’m running for Congress for one final tour of duty: Advance the America First agenda, help elect the next conservative President, then come home after four years — citizen-soldier, citizen-legislator, citizen again. That’s the model our Founders established and challenged us to keep.

I’ve done the interviews with local papers, radio, and TV. My opponent has declined them. I’ve answered dozens of detailed questionnaires with clear positions. He offers generics. I’ve sought zero endorsements — just your consideration and your vote.

If you want a true conservative who will support President Trump, vote for me — Top Line on the ballot. My opponent is rated “F” by Heritage Action, a full 26 points below average.

We have the greatest system of government in the world, but corruption and waste have overwhelmed it. Fake conservatives won’t fix it. I will.

Respectfully, Ron Hanks
