I’m Eric Bodenstab, and I’m running for Colorado House District 27.
I’m running because Jefferson County deserves practical, accountable leadership focused on results. Families, homeowners, and small businesses need a representative who will fight for reliable infrastructure, stronger schools, responsible budgeting, and policies that protect both our communities and our way of life.
Too often, people feel like government reacts late, spends too much, and listens too little. I’m running to bring a more disciplined, common-sense approach to the Capitol — one rooted in transparency, problem-solving, and respect for taxpayers.
I believe we need smarter wildfire mitigation that protects homes without relying on heavy-handed one-size-fits-all solutions. We need stronger oversight when utilities fail our communities. We need to restore trust in public education, demand better stewardship of public dollars, and make decisions that strengthen neighborhoods instead of undermining them.
This campaign is about steady leadership, real accountability, and doing the work. I’m asking for your support so we can bring practical solutions and a stronger voice to House District 27.
