He is a fine man and is one of the most honest men I have ever met. In all our conversations, I have never heard a discouraging word about veterans, which the recall petition states.<\/p>\n<p>Lance has always been interested in being involved with his community. Instead of sitting back and complaining about education and city planning, Lance decided to become part of the decision-making processes and joined the Planning and Zoning Commission and the RE-1 School Board. Lance is also involved in the community in other ways: first male advocate at Renew; Precinct 9 captain for Montezuma County Democrats; finance chair for the Yes on 4A Campaign; Committee for COVID-Safe Graduation, 2020; member of Four Corners Anti-Human-Trafficking Task Force; member of City of Cortez Water Wise Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Lance gives so much of his time for schoolchildren, especially minority and at-risk children. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of a finer man to be involved with child education and advocacy. Lance walks the walk and does the things that are required to have a healthy school system.<\/p>\n<p>I am a Marine Corps veteran with nine years of service and I served a term as City Council member 2014-2016.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_letters_name\">Bud Price<\/em><em class=\"mwc_letters_town\">Cortez<\/em>\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadly, RE-1 School District is being tasked with holding a recall election to recall a director for no other reason except political differences.
