We are in support of J. Paul Brown as Colorado state representative for House District 59. We have known and done business with J. Paul since he moved to Ignacio. Our children attended school together and they participated in the same 4-H club. Ralph has served on ditch boards with J. Paul for many years, and we have been co-workers in many projects. We know J. Paul to be a God-fearing man and “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

His knowledge of issues affecting our community, the state of Colorado, and District 59 are unsurpassed. He has dealt with gas companies, the Forest Service, and local and statewide water issues. J. Paul runs a successful business. He has been involved in government as county commissioner, school board member and state representative, plus he has been on boards for a wide variety of organizations.

Though he is conservative in nature, he is not a wild-eyed right-winger.

J. Paul’s yea’s are yea and his nay’s are nay. You do not have to guess where he stands on any issue. Please join us in voting for J. Paul Brown, an honest, hardworking candidate, for state representative for District 59.

Ralph and Gail Klusman
