💀 “The Lora Thomas Kiss-of-Death Endorsement” 💀

Well, folks, buckle up, because the 2026 Douglas County Commissioner race just got interesting. Parker Town Councilman John Diak has entered the Thunderdome.

Now look, John is a good person. I’ve met him. But when it comes to a conservative spine? Let’s just say the Parker Town Council has produced more rubber-stamped votes than approving SNAP recipients in Minneapolis. And John? He’s right there in formation with the rest of the flock, marching behind Mayor Josh Rivero like it’s a municipal conga line.

But all of that… ALL OF IT… pales in comparison to the real news:

Lora Thomas has endorsed him in her recent newsletter

Yes. That Lora Thomas. The political equivalent of a flashing warning light on your dashboard that says, “Stop the car immediately before something explodes.” It’s the political version of being handed a rose from the Grim Reaper for any true Republican conservative candidate in Douglas County.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, the Facebook brain trusts over at “Douglas County Watch and Living in Parker” are cheering for him, too. If you ever needed a neon sign that says, “This candidate is not your conservative savior,” well… there it is, glowing bright as the star on top of Castle Rock.

So, as we head toward 2026, remember: We’re fighting to keep Douglas County red, not whatever shade of purple you get when you mix Republican Uni-Party establishment supporters and Democrat Parker-style groupthink.



John, buddy… with endorsements like these, you might want to grab a blue jersey and call it a day.
