Meet Ryan
I’m Ryan Graham, and I am extremely honored and excited to be running to represent you as your next El Paso County Commissioner!
For the past 5 years I have faithfully served on the school board for Monument Academy. For 4 of those 5 years, I served as the board president where I boldly pushed back against radical ideologies, government overreach, and those intent on destroying our individual rights.
For eleven years I had the privilege of serving our community as a professional firefighter before medically retiring due to an injury. For the last three years I have served on the El Paso County Community Corrections Board where I diligently protect the rights of victims and the safety of citizens in this county. Additionally, for the past 20 years I have been a small business owner.
Every day I think about the world in which my two young children are growing up, and like most any parent or grandparent, I will do everything in my power to protect, guide and lead them. The citizens of El Paso County deserve a leader that will fight for all of our future with that same tenacity as we face the growing threat of destructive ideology being pushed from Denver politicians.
Radical Democrats are drunk on power and in order for them to seal the fate of Colorado’s decline, they must seize control of El Paso County—the largest remaining conservative stronghold in this state.
If elected to this role, I will continue to stand with you shoulder-to-shoulder and never waiver in this battle to protect our conservative values.
I am absolutely convicted that there is still hope for our beautiful state, but we must hold the line and work toward restoring what is broken in Colorado.
That begins with strong local leadership. Our citizens deserve good roads, safer communities, and a public servant that will defend our values.
I will fight to ensure that your tax dollars are being appropriately allocated to roads and public safety. I will fight to ensure that our El Paso County Sheriff’s office and 4th Judicial District Attorney’s office have the tools they need to keep criminals off our streets and out of our communities. I will fight to ensure that we prioritize our citizens and not those that are here illegally. I will fight to defend our God-given, constitutional rights so that freedom is protected.
I am asking for your time, talent, and treasure and most importantly your vote, so we may defend this great county and our way of life together.
