RURAL ROUTEINDEPENDENT VOICES SHAKE UP COLORADO POLITICS On this episode of Rural Route, Trent Loos welcomed Greg Lopez and Taralyn Romero to discuss their independent campaign for governor and lieutenant governor in Colorado. The duo explained their mission to get on the November ballot by collecting signatures before the July deadline while offering voters an alternative to the traditional two-party system. They shared concerns about Colorado’s shift toward liberal policies and emphasized their support for moderate conservative values, parental rights, and protecting children. The conversation also focused heavily on property rights and rising property taxes in Colorado. Taralyn Romero described how landowners are often criticized for defending private property, while Greg Lopez argued that many people no longer respect basic property rights. Trent Loos connected the issue to a broader national debate about freedom and government overreach. Greg and Taralyn also discussed frustrations many Colorado voters feel toward Republicans and Democrats alike, pointing out that nearly half of the state’s voters are now unaffiliated. The group talked about the importance of listening to everyday citizens and restoring the American dream through lower taxes, stronger communities, and less government control. The episode wrapped up with a powerful discussion about property taxes, metro districts, and the growing financial burden on seniors and working families. Trent highlighted how renters also pay the price through higher lease costs. Together, the guests called for more public education, grassroots action, and community involvement to push back against policies they believe are hurting Colorado families.
