A Message from Michael
After serving my eight-year tenure in the state legislature, I would now like to serve El Paso County as a Commissioner for County Commission District #5. Commissioner District #5 is the only commissioner district that lies entirely within the city of Colorado Springs. The district”s boundaries run from Dublin Blvd. on the north, to Hancock Expressway and Circle on the south, and from Wahsatch Ave. on the west to Academy Blvd. on the east. The last Democrat elected to the El Paso County Commission was in 1972! It is time for a fresh, progressive voice that will bring new ideas to the county government.
I will bring an exceptional set of skills and experience to the job of Commissioner. As a legislator I developed an intimate knowledge of state government that will help the county. As the Chair of the Education Committee in the House, I worked with members from both sides of the political aisle to solve problems. I want to work with the city of Colorado Springs and the other El Paso County communities to solve problems more cost effectively, to expand support systems for families and small businesses, and to protect the natural beauty of the Pikes Peak Region.
Please invest in the future of El Paso County. Support me, Michael Merrifield, with your generous donations and, if possible, please sign up to work on my campaign.
Thank you, El Paso County , for all of your past support. Let’s make history again!
