Ali Hasan Endorses Walker Stapleton for State Treasurer

I know it is not the sexiest race, but I am proud to have run for it and I am also proud to support Walker Stapleton for Colorado State Treasurer. With that said, I wanted to share my endorsement with our good community.  

From my campaign website –

Although I ran a very aggressive campaign for the GOP nomination of Colorado’s State Treasurer, I had always promised, from the start, that no matter the result, should I not be victorious, not only would I give the maximum contribution to the winning GOP candidate, but I would also give them my full endorsement and support – and that support tonight is going to Walker Stapleton.

Contrary to a picture being painted by the Denver news media, when I was running for State Treasurer, I debated Walker Stapleton many times, as he showed up to plenty of events and debates. And I am proud to support Walker because he is intelligent, he has financial experience, and most all, he is HONEST. Regardless of who the audience is, or where it is, Walker will always say the same things, never changing his message or his words to accommodate for political gain – that is the most impressive quality I took away from debating him so many times – and on Colorado’s Western Slope, where I was raised, we believe that your word is everything that makes you a man – and I can personally confirm that Walker’s word is bond.

I believe that the incumbent State Treasurer, Cary Kennedy, is a wonderful person, who truly loves Colorado and works to do what she believes is sound policy for our good State – however, in this recent wave of our Democratic-controlled State Legislature implementing tax increasing mil levy freezes and car fees, among other money-collecting policies, I have been disappointed to see our State Treasurer stand alongside them, whether in silence or in full support.

We need a State Treasurer who will take a stand against tax increases, fight against increased ‘fees,’ and of course, do everything he can to empower the great Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR).

Lastly, I congratulate JJ Ament on running in the race, as well, and I am happy to also see him publicly endorsing Walker Stapleton this evening. The GOP ticket in Colorado is unified and hungry – I look forward to donating the maximum contribution to Walker Stapleton and I ask all Coloradans to join me in voting for him!

Love and peace – Ali Hasan, Republican, Eagle County
