About James Wiley…

My name is James Wiley, known as the Red Flame of Liberty. I am a Colorado native, born in Colorado Springs, with a MBA from Colorado State University Pueblo. My background includes work as a political consultant and leadership roles in liberty-focused organizations, such as director of Project Thaler, director of Save Our Suffrage, former executive director of the Libertarian Party of Colorado, and Secretary of the Chainsaw Caucus. I grew up in Kazakhstan witnessing the fall out of the communist government in the former Soviet Union, which ignited my lifelong passion for defending individual sovereignty, just government, and secure elections. This fueled my activism against vulnerable electronic voting systems and my recent lawsuits challenging election integrity issues in Colorado.  

About Kevin Grantham…

There are many titles that describe Kevin Grantham: small businessman, hog farmer, family man, County Commissioner, former Senate President, City Councilman, and lifelong conservative — but the one that matters most is Coloradan.

Early Life & Values

Growing up in a rural farming community in Crowley County in Southeast Colorado, Kevin Grantham was raised with the values of honesty, hard work, and integrity. He was raised to appreciate the value of a hard-earned dollar and to budget carefully.

Proven Leadership

Starting in 2007 on the city council for Cañon City, Grantham’s rise through elected office has been swift, with him serving in the State Senate, where he served on the esteemed Joint Budget Committee and served as Senate President from 2017–2018.

Keeping Colorado Affordable

Currently a County Commissioner for Fremont County, where he cut property taxes to help residents afford the rising cost of living, Kevin Grantham is worried that Colorado has become increasingly unaffordable to live, work, and raise a family.

That’s why he’s running. He wants to make Colorado a safe and affordable place where anyone that works hard can get ahead.

When he was a State Senator, Grantham helped fight to keep the state government’s spending excesses in check and successfully stopped multiple attempts at billion dollar tax hikes.

It is time that Colorado gets back to being a state that is careful with how it taxes its residents and how it spends their hard-earned tax dollars.

Jason earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from Wabash College and later completed a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Colorado State University. His career began in banking, where he learned the importance of financial responsibility—a principle that has guided him throughout his life.

Through this experience, Jason knows what it means to serve a community and understands the impact accurate property valuations have on families, businesses, and essential local services.

About Rudy Santos

As Chief Deputy and a 24-year public servant, Rudy will continue what works and improve where we can do better—reducing wait times in Motor Vehicle, expanding convenient online Recording services, and safeguarding accurate, secure, and transparent elections. It’s all about respectful, efficient customer service for every resident.

Rudy Santos has served in the Weld County Clerk and Recorder’s office since June 2001. He began in the Recording Department, moved to the Elections Office in 2003, and—after helping deliver a successful 2003 election—was promoted to Office Coordinator in 2004. In 2015, he was appointed Chief Deputy and continues to serve in that position today.

Across 24 years, Rudy has been an integral part of conducting 37 successful elections. He believes there is no such thing as an easy election—especially during a Presidential year—and credits the team’s time, effort, and energy for delivering accurate, secure results every time.

I’ve spent a career in law enforcement making Weld County safe.  Now it’s time to make sure I help keep the traditions of low taxes, no debt, and working for every citizen as your next Weld County Commissioner. 

About Scott James

At every turn in my life, God equipped me with a skill, understanding, or experience necessary to serve. From small-town, agricultural upbringings to 40-years as a communications professional, to active volunteer work in our communities, to 22-years as an elected representative, “my whole is greater than the sum of my parts.”

I believe God has us right where He wants us – at His perfect timing with the right set of skills for His purpose. I believe the skill set He equipped me with perfectly matches Weld County’s need. I’m an effective, natural communicator and a consensus builder. I’m a pragmatic and practical level-headed thinker. I’m a thoughtful listener. I believe in openness, accountability, and transparency. I’m an unlikely politician equipped to serve at a time when someone with a servant’s heart is needed.

You elected me to a position that requires thoughtful leadership – a discerning balance. Elected officials must constantly balance their personal principles with their roles as a representative of the people in a constitutional republic. My core principles of a small, non-intrusive government, personal responsibility, individual liberty, personal property rights, the belief in the role of the educated, involved citizen, accountability, and transparency are unwavering and my personal guideposts.

Yet to be an effective elected representative, I take my role of representing YOU – your needs and desires as you pursue happiness – with the gravest of sincerity. Your concerns are my concerns. Your needs of government are my needs, and it is my role as an elected representative to ensure that you are represented in your government, all while not betraying my personal principles.

As an elected official, we are one part leader, one part representative; both parts require a thoughtful, conscious balance. This job must be done by someone with a servant’s heart. It must be done by someone who understands the proper role of government and knows that both anarchy and run-away bureaucracy are losing propositions.

We see way too many people elected to office who use their authority to force their personal ideology onto the very people they were elected to serve. This is wrong. The greatest Leader who ever lived washed the feet of His servants.

I have a heart for Weld County. I’m an unlikely politician uniquely equipped to serve. It is my great desire that you’ll join me in the work of self-governance and protecting and growing a better community.

About Scott Slaugh

Scott Slaugh is proud to be a fifth generation Coloradan and fourth generation Veteran. Loyal to a fault, the four pillars of his life are Faith, Family, Friends, and Freedom.

Aside from college, missionary service, and 22 years (and counting) of U.S. Army Reserve Officer service, Scott has always lived in Northern Colorado and wants to see his four sixth-generation Coloradan children grow up there as well with the same freedoms and values that made him and his life what they are today.
