  • Do you support President Trump and would you ask him to campaign with you in Colorado?
  • Colorado is becoming a predominately blue state, what can be done to reverse this trend?
  • Do you agree with President Trump's approach to immigration?
  • Other than the issues already discussed, what is the most important issue facing Colorado and CD6?

Casper Stockham (Republican)
Participation Confirmed

I have lived in Colorado since 1989 and I have seen many changes in the state. Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in the nation, but our inner-city communities have not changed in the past 60-70 years.

I am running for Congress because I am tired of the lying, cheating, stealing and backroom deals that seem to always exclude the inner city and rural communities. I will listen to and serve all of CD6, not just the people who agree with or vote for me.

Folks, we can do much better and if I'm elected as the next congressman for CD6, I will show the community what honest servant leadership looks like. We must, we can, and we will do better! It’s a new day!

The Republican Party needs to shed its cowardice, quickly, and make room for ALL Americans who believe the prudent government is good governance. Help me refine and disseminate this message. Contact my committee, donate and volunteer. Colorado's 6th district can lead the way
