In this Q&A, Ron addresses federal land management in CD3 directly — including Jeff Hurd's co-sponsorship of the GORP Act with Democrat Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper, which placed 730,000 CD3 acres under federal designation. Drawing on his 32 years of military service and his record in the Colorado state legislature, Ron makes the case for local control over CD3 land — not Washington bureaucrats. No handlers. No script. No dodge. He answers to Colorado voters, not party insiders.
