Our pres & CEO, JJ Ament, is back to his roots today with the Colorado Competitive Council Basecamp tour of Sterling and the #ag economy. He’s pictured with Byron H Pelton and the Sterling Livestock Commissioner, Jim Santomaso.

We auctioned off Byron H Pelton at the Sterling Livestock Commission. Afraid we didn't get a very good price. But we did learn a lot about the economic impact of cattle production, including the many unexpected products that contain cattle byproducts, like fireworks and cake.

Since 2019, #coleg passed 43 bills creating new lawsuits, most against Colorado job creators - making our state one of the most expensive in U.S. #coleg #lawsuitabuse Common Sense Institute Colorado commonsenseinstituteco.org/co-legal-expen…

Happy to support C3 Basecamp alum Representative Matt Soper and Steering Committee member Grand Junction Chamber as they bring consuls general and other economic development partners to the Grand Valley to talk international business development. #coleg

It was great to host the C3 in HD 40 ! Thank you to all the participants and speakers !

We’re starting today’s Basecamp with a trip to Pueblo to visit the EVRAZ North America steel mill. Specifically in Pueblo, Evraz’s emissions are 3-4x lower than anywhere else in the US. We’re also getting to hear from Senator Senator Nick Hinrichsen 🇺🇸🔰 about his district.

We’re in the heart of Pueblo for today’s Basecamp at the Pueblo Riverwalk, where we’re getting to check out some awesome infrastructure, hear about the community’s history and tourism, and explore local businesses like the Clink and Brues Alehouse.

Next stop for today’s Basecamp is Meadow Lake Airport with Representative Don Wilson! This airport is a “reliever” airport for the CO Springs airport, with smaller planes using it so traffic stays lighter. A few Basecamp attendees even got to take a ride ✈️

Now it’s off to the races for our next Basecamp stop! We’re at Overdrive Raceway - Indoor Kart Racing in Colorado Springs, a family-owned indoor kart racing track that has a variety of ADA accessible karts so everyone can enjoy the raceway 🏎️

We wrapped up Basecamp season with dinner at Flying Horse! Thank you to this year’s cohort, Rep. Representative Don Wilson, Sen. Senator Nick Hinrichsen 🇺🇸🔰, Rep. Meghan Lukens, Rep. William Lindstedt, Sen. Byron H Pelton, Rep. Rep Naquetta Ricks - COHD40, Rep. Rick Taggart, and Sen. 🪷Senator Janice Marchman 🪷 for an amazing season!
