Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton today began his kickoff of a 64-county tour across Colorado to update civic and community leaders on what is happening at the Capitol, and to get a better understanding of the issues impacting local communities.
The first leg will span three full days and will cover 10 Western Slope and I-70 corridor counties, including Montrose, Ouray, Gunnison, Delta, Mesa, Garfield, Eagle, Summit, Lake and Park.
“As I begin my second term, it is important to step out of the office, hit the road and continue to listen to the needs of people across our state,” Stapleton said in a news release. “When I was in the private sector, I found it immensely useful to go out and talk to customers and co-workers. Thatap where the good ideas come from, the people, not the boardroom. But you have to be willing to put in the legwork.”
Stapleton, a Republican, was first elected in 2010 and . Planning for the road trip has been in the works since March.
Stapleton recently was criticized for his role before the legislature.
