2022 CANDIDATES
3rd Congressional District
Sol Sandoval
The daughter of naturalized immigrants, Sol knows firsthand that the American Dream doesn’t come easy.
Sol knew from a young age that too many working families never get their fair shot.
As a social worker, Sol spent a decade making sure her neighbors had the basic support help themselves. But too many children, veterans, and working families across rural Colorado are slipping through the cracks.
And as Washington politicians try to score points on Twitter, we see working people get squeezed more and more – by rising prices, fewer jobs, crumbling schools, lack of healthcare access, drought and wildfire.
Sol is running for Congress to make sure every Coloradan has a fair shot at making it. She brings what she learned from her mother and father to this fight. Sol promises to lead with the passion, hard work, and faith that have guided her and her family her entire life.
Alex Walker
I’m an engineer. I’ll listen to experts and make decisions based on truth, not politics.
With truth and leadership, we’ll turn Colorado into a clean energy superpower, protecting our land & water and bringing high-paying jobs to our district for the next century.
We’ll lift families above Boebert’s poverty line by winning federal support for affordable housing. And we’ll subsidize healthcare costs for working class families with fair corporate taxes.
Adam Frisch
Adam Frisch is a local businessman and former City Councilman who has been active on the Western Slope for two decades, working to promote renewable energy and green building programs, and help at-risk youth get on their feet. Since the start of the covid pandemic, he’s also added Substitute Teacher to his resume.
Adam’s background in business and his understanding of our economy gives him the experience we need to help more Western and Southern Coloradoans get ahead.
After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1990, Adam worked at one of the very first socially responsible investment firms, helping ensure people count more than profits. Today, Adam runs a residential design and build firm and has been involved in the home health care and RV Park and campground businesses.
Adam has a long record of public service and fiscal responsibility. He chaired the Pitkin County’s financial review committee from 2005 to 2011, and then was elected to Aspen City Council.
State Representative, District 58
Kevin Kuns
For 25 years, Kevin Kuns held leadership roles in the corporate restaurant world, in executive management, overseeing multimillion-dollar operations with large staff and management teams.
In 2001, Kevin started an executive management search firm with no clients or candidates. Over the next 20 years, Pro Management & Associates grew to 5 offices in 5 states, and his company placed over 800 executive managers with Fortune 500 companies.
Kevin and his wife, Bobbie, moved to Montrose in 2014, where they bought a home and put down roots. Their son and his wife are both in the Navy, stationed in San Diego with their 6-year-old granddaughter. Their daughter currently lives in Missoula, Montana and is a structural engineer. Kevin and Bobbie enjoy most outdoor activities, including playing with their dogs and tending to their beautiful property.
I believe that the scope of leadership and organizational experience I’ve gathered in my life has brought me to where I am now. I have worked tirelessly with hundreds of volunteers for the past four years, building a vibrant Democratic Party in Montrose County. More recently, my work for the Colorado Democratic Party has taken me to all four corners of the state as the State Precinct Organizer Program Director, as well as the Regional Field Organizer for southwestern Colorado.
From Olathe to Slick Rock, from Dove Creek to Telluride, and all the towns and rural areas in between, we are a diverse group of people who must unite to have a strong voice in our state government. Together we can and will be heard.
