Wes McKinley
Colorado State House, District 64
Welcome to CowboyWes.com
As a third generation cowboy, I know what it means to be from South Eastern Colorado. Times were tough then, and they're tough now. As your Representative am determined to protect every American’s right to life, liberty and property.
Being married to my beautiful wife Jan for over 43 years, and as a father of four and a foster parent to numerous children, I hold on to that Jeffersonian belief in the local family farmer and rancher. With that in mind, I am committed to developing responsible policies that protect the interests of Colorado’s residents.
After teaching high school math and science for many years, I believe in improving the quality of education while maintaining local authority and increasing teachers' ability to teach.
As a parent and a husband I understand the importance of accessible and affordable health care coverage for all residents.
After chairing the committee and serving as the foreman on the grand jury that indicted corporate employees of Rocky Flats for horrific crimes against the environment, it became even more obvious to me that power can and should rest within the hands of the people. I stuck it out then, and I will continue to fight for the public's interest, and for what the people of Colorado deserve—honesty, integrity and justice.
As a native to my district, I also understand the unique issues which face this area of Colorado. Transportation, water rights and small business growth are issues that I not only support but have a personal stake in, which is why they continue to be at the forefront of the legislation I pursue.
I believe in and work to provide a responsive government that is transparent, accountable and accessible to its constituents. I am dedicated to improving the bonds of our community while protecting individual property rights and encouraging civic responsibility. I believe in the people that make up this great state, and I am passionate about working to represent justice and equality for all.
I hold on to the belief that no horse is impossible to ride, and will continue to work and to do all I can to make sure that the people of Colorado are represented accurately, effectively and efficiently.
