“I’m excited to endorse a candidate who will put working families first. As a dad and a Rifle resident, he understands the challenges and opportunities for strengthening our community. Steven is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in energy and community resiliency. He will bring the change, hope, and fresh ideas that we need to move Garfield county into the future.”

"Steve Arauza is going to be an excellent commissioner for the people of Garfield County. He will be someone that prioritizes the challenges we face in Western Colorado like affordability, expanding opportunities for working families, and protecting our cherished environment and water for generations to come.”

“I’m proud to support Steven Arauza for Garfield County Commissioner. I have worked with him extensively and am confident that as a father, husband, and friend in this community, he will always care for our county in a way that protects the valley we love. His background in worker advocacy, organizing, and environmental protection, will be invaluable to our community, particularly to our children. I am proud to support Steven Arauza, who I know will put our children’s future first.”

“I am pleased to announce my enthusiastic endorsement of Steven Arauza for Garfield County Board of County Commissioners, District 3. Having closely observed his dedication, qualifications, and unwavering commitment to our community, I firmly believe that Steve is the most qualified and capable individual to represent our interests and bring about positive change in Garfield County.”

“I am pleased to endorse my friend Steven for Garfield County Commissioner for District 3. He is well versed in the challenges concerning our quality of life in the area. He also sees, from the perspective of a wage earner, husband and father, that the choices we make today, concerning economic and environmental development, will impact future generations. He is ready to use his experience, education, energy, and vision to serve the people of Garfield County.”

”What can I say but that Steve is the real deal. He would be a great boon to the health of Garfield County families and workers, and a fantastic steward of the County’s natural and fiscal resources. Steve has already proven himself as a dedicated public health servant –from working for more than a decade in the oilfields protecting industry workers to serving the peoples of the Headwater State in the Governor’s and CDPHE’s Environmental Justice Advisory Board (EJAB). I have no doubt in my bones: Steve is worthy of being Garfield County’s advocate at all levels of government, and he would be fantastic as your County Commissioner.”

We are the only organization in the nation focused on recruiting, training, and electing Democrats with a background in science to public office.

There isn’t an issue that doesn’t benefit from having scientists at the decision-making table – from climate change to reproductive healthcare, scientists are data-driven leaders who will champion fact-based policies.

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.
