Aurora, CO - December 14th - Twenty-three prominent Hispanic business and community leaders have collectively endorsed Ryan Frazier as he makes his bid for United States Congress in Colorado’s District 7. Endorsements for Republican candidates from such respected Hispanic leaders are a rare occurrence in today’s political landscape, as Hispanics historically have not been a staple voting bloc amongst the GOP. It is yet another reason why many believe Frazier is well positioned to win this highly competitive district.
Larry Trujillo, former state Senator stated, “As a member of Governor Owens’ cabinet and former Minority Leader of the Colorado House of Representatives and Senate, I’ve found that we need independent thinkers and decision makers in our public offices. Ryan Frazier, U.S. Congressional candidate, will deliberate and cast votes based on what is good for the American public and the citizens of Colorado. He will do more than simply look and act as a rubber stamp for the Leadership as is now happening by our present Representative of the 7th Congressional district. Coloradans want more than to grow government and create huge deficits that are now occurring with the help of the incumbent. I support and urge all citizens of our great state to support Ryan Frazer for the office of U.S. Congressman from the 7th District. His victory will help this country get back on the right path and move away from letting the Government continue with ‘big brother Government,’ deficit spending and taking over private businesses.”
Frazier, an African American, was raised by a single mother who worked extremely hard to ensure her three sons had a better life. He grew up in a working poor neighborhood where he attended tough schools and had fewer opportunities than many today. Frazier believes his experience has helped him to devise solvent, long-lasting solutions that help, not hinder, minority communities. The right solutions, he asserts, are financially solvent and facilitate personal empowerment through quality education and less government.

I say this is good news. Bush Jr, despite his errors, made a sincere effort to reach out to Hispanics in 2000 and 2004. The GOP cannot afford writing off groups now.
Hispanics are one of the fastest growing groups in the United States, and yet can be under-represented in American political institutions. Even though I do not live in Colorado myself do have family and I will keep my eye on the 2010 Colorado Races. It will be interesting to see who can show the muscle needed to win the RED in Colorado. I have looked at a few races and they are going to be tough but Colorado has the right politicians in place to win. Looking at the list above makes me and my family feel honored to have them representing the Colorado Hispanic community. For example, Edgar Antillon gives a fresh and young face to Colorado Republican party. Edgar Antillon is the Republican candidate for Colorado HD 35; from his website he is involved in his community, is a small busniess owner and has a passion for helping the police enforcement agencies. If you were to look at his website you will be able to the issues that are important to him and they are exactly what Colorado needs and any state for that matter. I encouarge any Coloradan to view his website and get to know Edgar Antillon on a personal level.
