Can Parker Turn Red Again?

As a resident of the Parker area since 1986, I find it heartbreaking to see the direction our beloved town has been in and continues to be heading. With an air of concern thickening as the November elections approach, everyone seems to be asking, "Can we pivot back to being a steadfast red town from the purpling haze we find ourselves in?" I say yes, absolutely, but not without a united front from our conservative community.

First, we need to confront the blatant problem: the current Town Council and Town Manager. Their voting records paint a clear picture of unanimous decisions that brazenly lack individual thought. Collective voting is a bit like what we see in communist countries (Click Here to see the Full Report). It's evident we need fresh faces, true conservatives who won't buckle under pressure from the leftist Town Council members and Town Manager.

But here’s the kicker: Where are these potential champions? The rumor mill is ripe with talk of mystery candidates who remain nothing more than ghosts in the shadows. We need to rally these reluctant warriors to step into the light and start running for office. We need leaders passionate about preserving Parker's small-town essence and brave enough to halt the rampant, unwanted growth and Far Left Progressive agenda.

This brings us to another sore spot: the explosion of apartment complexes sprouting across Parker like unwelcome thistles. It's no myth that crime tends to surge in densely populated apartment areas. Yet, our current Town Council, Town Manager, and Town Planners, lacking in backbone, appear more fixated on virtue signaling. They’d rather host events like the Douglas County Pride Festival on taxpayer-funded land than tackle the rising threats to our community’s safety. Our priorities need a serious overhaul, our children’s security over political correctness.

As I said, I've called Parker home since 1986, back when it was more known for, “More Horses than People”. Now, we're bogged down by traffic and escalating crime rates, inching ever closer to becoming the next Aurora. Hey, Franktown, Elizabeth, and Elbert, you could fall next in this distressing transformation if you are not standing watch.

So, can Parker turn red again? With certainty. But it calls for action and commitment from all of us. We must rally behind and elect leaders like Mayor Jeff Toborg and new Town Council candidates who uphold our conservative ideals and strive to maintain the charm that drew us to Parker in the first place. Let's reclaim our town and mold it into a beacon of what a true red town exemplifies: Faith, Family, and Country.
