New Ad Smacks Stapleton for Not Doing His Job

A new television ad is up on the air today from a group called “Good Jobs Colorado” targeting Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton over his persistent refusal to actually do his job as State Treasurer:

Stapleton’s lax attendance record at PERA Board meetings has been well-documented for several years now. Stapleton’s general indifference about the job he was elected to do (twice) came up repeatedly in the Republican gubernatorial primary last spring, and it was a certainty that this narrative would resurface in the General Election.

Stapleton also had to fend off accusations about his light work schedule during his bid for re-election as State Treasurer in 2014. Apparently he did not learn much from that experience; it’s hard to convince voters that you are the right guy for the top job in the state when you barely showed up for work at your last gig.
