Colorado needs…

                                                            a strong economy, 

                Building a stronger Colorado economy is an immediate and long-term priority for Wayne Wolf. During his eight years as commissioner, Delta County moved up six places relative to other Colorado counties in prosperity.

            It is true that the county budget increased during his two terms, but that happened while county tax rates remained constant or decreased. The way out of the state budget crunch is by businesses making profits and people having jobs. It is not by imposing onerous fees. 

                                                            stewardship,

                 As a fifth generation Colorado rancher, Wayne understands the importance of stewardship. If people in agriculture don’t take care of the land they know they will be out of business. Unnecessary regulation can put them out of business quickly. Wayne is opposed to lawsuits by preservationists who are trying to kick ranchers off public lands, and yes his family has grazing leases on land managed by the BLM and Forest Service.

                                                            adequate water,

                 One of the favorite occupations of Wayne and his wife Kristine is irrigating pastures and fields on theirs and their family’s ranches. They own a water right and know what a c.f.s. looks like, as well as how barren Colorado would be without adequate water resources. Wayne will be supportive of well thought out in basin water projects. 

                                                            low cost energy,

                 High energy costs are detrimental to all of Colorado. Wayne believes we need to develop energy sources that make sense both economically and environmentally. He recognizes that clean coal must be a part of that mix.

                                                            and vibrant education.

             Wayne has been an enthusiastic teacher in public schools, a Christian school and in helping to home school his nephew. Wayne will work with others to fit state regulation to best classroom practices. 

Colorado needs Wayne Wolf in the Colorado State Senate.
