Troy Vandehule

District 14 - Republican Party

How does your experience make you qualified to represent the people?

In a Republican primary, people are looking for a conservative representative who
understands the conservative platform and will fight for all their conservative values.
Too many of our current Republican representatives are willing to compromise away
your values. Weak Republicans want to reach across the aisle and are willing to
negotiate your rights away.

Over my career, I’ve helped create thriving and prosperous businesses. I’ve worked with
homelessness and housing at the state level, I’ve worked with national food
distribution, and I’ve worked with international relief and development.
I know what it takes to transform good ideas into sustainable outcomes. I’ve created
programs that can inform and shape policy and legislation. The most important
experience is creating outcomes that protect the rights and freedom of our citizens, and
ensure that our communities can thrive.

What are your top policy priorities?

My top priority leading Colorado to freedom and prosperity. For almost a decade now,
Coloradans have been subjected to the one-party rule of radical Democrats and
compromising Republicans. Every year, our rights continue to be eroded. Every year,
500 new laws come from Denver that restrict your freedom, rights, and choice.

Weak Republicans often vote along with these bad bills. I plan to fight the radical left
policies and lead conservatives into the courage of their convictions. As conservatives,
we need to stop letting our representatives betray our values and sell away our rights.
We do not need more bipartisan support for more laws that steal our money, choke our
businesses, and make Colorado a destination state for human-trafficking, on-demand
abortions, tax-funded trans surgeries, and illegal aliens.

Every year, our worst statistics continue to get worse: more regulation, more crime,
more debt. Our housing costs and overall cost-of-living are among the worst in the
nation. Business and people are leaving Colorado. And taking their families, talents,
and jobs with them.
Cowardly conservatives, who only talk about the Second Amendment and lower taxes,
are currently voting with Democrats on radical social policies that are stealing your
rights, freedom, and growth. We need to vote in strong conservatives who will fight for
life, growth, and greatness.

What is one issue you think is being overlooked in this race, and how would you
address it?

Greatness. We need to govern in a way that leads everyday Coloradans into greatness.
The radical left wants to control our lives and throttle our businesses. Too many of our
weak Republican representatives hide behind bureaucracy and political cowardice.
Neither our radical Democrats nor our cowardly Republicans have a vision of a great
and thriving Colorado. A Colorado where we create more jobs, more housing, more
opportunities.

Our current representatives are not governing for greatness. They are micro-managing
people’s lives. They are installing cameras on every street corner and banning grocery
bags and takeout utensils. Our representatives are looking for ways to extract profit
from your businesses. They are looking the other way on crime, illegal immigration, and
decaying infrastructure.

We need to govern for greatness. It’s time to lead Coloradans into more freedom. We
need to stop the radical social experiments, we need to prosecute waste, fraud, and
abuse. We need to unleash our business and our builders. We can once again create a
booming economy and a budget surplus. Colorado can once again be a destination
state for beauty, growth, and opportunity.
