Job Description


Raised on a ranch south of Silt, Cole is running for Congress to ensure rural and small-town Colorado has a strong advocate in Congress. A fifth generation Coloradan, Cole believes the residents of the 3rd Congressional district deserve a representative that listens; someone who is honest about who they are, what they believe and the problems we face. His campaign will focus on solutions that are district-centric rather than interest group-centric. Cole is currently a consultant specializing in business communications and policy efforts. Prior to launching his own business, Cole worked to strengthen democracy around the world, working with North Korean and Burmese activists and everyday citizens as well as global anti corruption and rule of law initiatives. When he was much younger, he showed champion steers and pigs in the Garfield County Fair. He currently lives with his partner in Glenwood Springs.

Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is vast. With an area of 49,731 square miles, it’s current size is slightly larger than Mississippi. While this may change in the upcoming redistricting process, its character will not. CD3 is ruggedly beautiful, containing alpine mountains and high desert, interspersed with productive agricultural land and bustling towns and small cities. The campaign to represent the district will center on one key goal - defeating Lauren Boebert - but play out in two phases. The first part of the race will involve emerging from the crowded Democratic field in the June 28th primary. The second will involve a dead sprint over 4 months to send Lauren packing.
