I am proud to endorse Representative Ava Flanell for Colorado House District 14 for her steadfast commitment to public safety and to the people of our community. During her short time in office, Ava has demonstrated strong leadership and a clear understanding of the importance of supporting the mission of law enforcement: holding dangerous criminals accountable, seeking justice for victims, and ensuring the men and women who serve and protect our communities have the support they deserve.

I have seen Ava take a strong stance in protecting the constitutional rights of citizens, recognizing public safety and individual liberties must go hand in hand. She understands that leadership means standing firm against crime while also advocating for the vulnerable members of our community and ensuring their voices are heard and protected.

As Sheriff, I value leaders who are committed to justice, accountability, and the safety of our communities. I am confident that Representative Flanell will continue to lead with integrity, support law enforcement, seek justice for victims, and work tirelessly to make our communities safer, stronger, and more secure for everyone.

As Colorado’s largest law enforcement organization, FOP represents more than 10,000 sworn law enforcement officers dedicated to protecting the health and safety of our communities.

Representative Flanell has been a critical partner in advancing effective, evidence-based public safety policies at the Colorado State Capitol that respect constitutional rights. She understands the realities facing front-line officers, values their expertise, and consistently supports policies that strengthen public safety.

A business owner, Representative Flanell brings extensive experience in business, innovation, and fiscal responsibility to her legislative efforts. She is a key member of the Judiciary and Education Committees while also championing issues critical to her constituents and all Coloradans, including affordability, responsible government, good business, public safety, and constitutional rights.

FOP is confident that Representative Flanell will continue to be accessible, thoughtful, and a fighter for her district as she works to advance smart, effective policy at the Capitol. She is well-respected, principled, and has built productive relationships that position her as a leading, influential voice for the people of HD14 who works tirelessly to address the needs of her district and the state.

Electing the right person to serve as a State Representative is a serious responsibility – one that is immensely important to the people of Colorado. Representative Flanell’s record of service, integrity, and commitment to public safety has earned our endorsement. The Colorado Fraternal Order of Police respectfully asks you to join us in supporting Representative Ava Flanell for election to Colorado House District 14.

As District Attorney of El Paso and Teller County, I work every day with victims, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and families whose lives have been impacted by crime. That experience gives me a firsthand understanding of how important it is to have leaders at the Capitol who take public safety seriously and recognize the real-world consequences legislation can have on our communities.

That is why I am proud to support Representative Ava Flanell.

Throughout her time in the legislature, Representative Flanell has been instrumental in helping fight harmful legislation that would weaken accountability within our criminal justice system or make it more difficult to protect victims and the public. She has consistently demonstrated a willingness to ask tough questions, challenge bad policy, and engage thoughtfully on complex issues. She takes the time to understand legislation, listen to stakeholders, and evaluate how policies will affect everyday Coloradans. Even when it is politically difficult, she has shown the courage to stand firm in defense of the rule of law and the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.

I am honored to endorse Representative Ava Flanell and strongly encourage others to support her as well.
