Dear Jared Polis –

It’s not too late. You can still change your mind and attend the Club 20 debates. In fact, we the undersigned strongly urge you to do so.

Remember, you’re running to be the Governor of the ENTIRE state of Colorado.

That little tour to visit small groups of supporters on the western slope with the hope of mitigating the PR disaster you’ve already caused by eschewing Club 20 was nice, but western Colorado issues deserve to be debated on the west slope. We need real substantive debates like what Club 20 has been offering for over 30 years.

Jared Polis, you think no one will notice your absence at Club 20, but we notice. Show up to defend your stances. The entire state matters, and remember, just showing up is a huge part of the job you’re interviewing for.

Thanks for your consideration.
