Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District is the beating heart of American energy, fueling the nation with nearly 4% of its oil and supporting families with over 300,000 good jobs. But now, the radical left wants to choke out this engine of prosperity—fronted by none other than Manny Rutinel, a far-left activist with dreams of tearing down everything that keeps Colorado working.
Rutinel isn’t just another liberal. He’s the kind of Green New Deal fanatic who thinks “summer” is a crisis and “hot days” are government emergencies. His number one priority isn’t putting people to work. It’s ruining livelihoods under the banner of “environmental justice.” In the Colorado House, Rutinel pushed bills to slash oil production by a staggering 60%—that would cripple an entire region. For him, destroying energy jobs isn’t collateral damage—it’s the goal.
But Rutinel’s crusade doesn’t stop at bulldozing Colorado’s economy. He engineered a new state office hell-bent on “environmental justice,” demanding that 40% of public tax dollars get funneled into pet progressive causes. Forget fixing roads or supporting law enforcement—instead, hundreds of thousands in taxpayer money now go to DEI indoctrination, conferences, and so-called “trauma informed” ceremonies before government meetings. Teaching kids to hate the American way of life in the name of the Left’s latest buzzwords looks like his idea of progress.
If that headline wasn’t bad enough, Rutinel rose to fame storming the field at a Harvard/Yale football game—delaying the event for an hour with a childish anti-fossil fuel protest. His lawbreaking antics even won praise from socialist icons like Bernie Sanders. Is this the kind of leadership hardworking Coloradans want? A professional protester who’d turn vital oil wells into ruins while making your utility bills skyrocket?
Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado are doubling down—banning natural gas appliances, mandating a mountain of new regulations, and leaving ordinary Americans to pay the price. Ask yourself: when energy workers lose their jobs, when appliances cost 40% more, when the lights go out—will radical leftists like Manny Rutinel pay your bills? Or will they just pat themselves on the back at another “trauma-informed” meeting, safe from the consequences of their own lunacy?
Who will stand up for Colorado’s families? Voters in the Eighth District aren’t just choosing a representative—they’re choosing between jobs or joblessness, independence or dependence, sanity or the circus. Will they let a climate extremist turn Colorado into California, or slam the brakes on this left-wing insanity before it’s too late?
