Lindsay Moore for County Commissioner District 1: A Champion for Local Control and Community Values

Lindsay Moore, a Colorado native and dedicated educator, is running for County Commissioner in District 1, aiming to bring strong conservative leadership back to the seat. As a dedicated principal, small business owner of the Great American Outpost—a Christian Homeschool Co-op—and a mother, Moore embodies the values of community, education, and family that resonate with the residents of her district.

Moore’s campaign is built upon key issues that matter most to her constituents: Land Use, Local Control, and Lower Taxes. She is committed to standing strong against state overreach, protecting private property rights, and ensuring the safety of her community. With County Commissioners wielding significant power over various boards and committees, including County Health, County Clerk, and the Planning Commission, Moore recognizes the importance of local representation in these critical decisions.

One of her primary concerns is maintaining local control over land use and zoning decisions. A recent example that underscores the importance of citizen involvement is the Karmen Line debate, where a proposed annexation was successfully opposed by citizens of Colorado Springs through a ballot initiative. Moore remains vigilant, anticipating potential challenges like “Karmen Line 2.0,” while also discussing the implications of potential legislation, such as Bill HB26-1111, which seeks to give the state more control over local zoning and land use, promoting the concept of 15-minute cities.

Moore emphasizes the need to use County Master Plan that lays out a logical growth strategy for El Paso County, ensuring that development aligns with community values and needs. She is particularly concerned about inappropriate development projects that violate established buffers around military bases and unnecessary government influence, such as funding tied to COVID relief.

As part of her focus on election integrity, Moore aims to influence elections at the county level, highlighting the significance of approving contracts and ensuring transparent electoral processes. She is committed to maintaining the integrity of local governance without relying on federal funds, which can often come with strings attached.

Moore faces opposition from fellow Republican Ryan Grimm, who has submitted his petition to run for the position. The uncertainty surrounding Grimm’s intentions regarding the Assembly process adds another layer of complexity to the race. Moore is ready to engage in the traditional Republican Caucus and Assembly process, rallying support for her vision of an accountable and community-driven county government.

Moore’s commitment to addressing the pressing issues faced by the residents of County Commission District 1 makes her a strong candidate. By prioritizing local interests and championing conservative values, she seeks to ensure that the voices of her constituents are heard and protected.
