Lachelt has demonstrated her ability to work with a variety of stakeholder groups on complex issues facing our county that offer no easy answers.
Importantly, Lachelt is a good listener – a critical attribute – as that is where all constructive, collaborative efforts must start.
Lachelt is a knowledgeable, dedicated citizen and public servant who for many years has championed a balance between economic growth and environmental stewardship.
As Colorado and La Plata County are expected to see significant increases in population in the near future, we need a leader that has the vision, steady hand and perseverance to help guide our community into the future with wise, common-sense planning and governing.
As a longtime registered independent voter who supports leaders with discerning vision and the ability to get things done, I urge a vote for a proven and trusted leader, Gwen Lachelt.
