Nicholas Razo’s Vision for Southeast Colorado Springs: A Look at His Campaign for SD-11
On February 4, 2026, Nicholas Razo engaged with the Republican Strategy Forum, articulating his vision as he runs for the SD-11 seat in South East Colorado Springs. With a rich background influenced by his Hispanic background, upbringing in Chicago, and early experiences in political activism, Razo aims to unite and energize a new generation of voters in Colorado.
Growing up in Chicago, Razo attended the same school district as conservative activist Charlie Kirk, where he became involved in Kirk’s initial organization, SOS Liberty. Originally focused on addressing the national debt, SOS Liberty evolved into Turning Point USA (TPUSA), which shifted its focus towards cultural issues. Razo reflects on the early indoctrination of students in Chicago public schools regarding sexuality, a formative experience that has shaped his beliefs and political aspirations.
Razo’s campaign is marked by a strong commitment to addressing critical issues affecting today’s youth. He draws attention to sobering statistics about Generation Z, noting that nearly 30% of this demographic has been aborted and 17% have committed suicide. It is with this profound sense of urgency that he seeks to unify the Republican Party, emphasizing the shared love for the country over party divisions.
He points to Donald Trump’s impact in attracting younger voters who feel displaced, suggesting that these voters believe they hold the solutions to pressing national challenges. Razo argues that the Democratic Party has systematically suppressed Hispanic and Black communities, and he aims to challenge the narrative by fostering open and honest political discourse.
Bringing a wealth of campaign experience, Razo discusses the dishonesty he has observed from Democratic candidates, stressing the need for bold leaders who will confront falsehoods head -on. He pledges to serve as a ‘Vanguard’ for the party, emphasizing the need for robust support from the community.
Key Policies and Goals
Razo has outlined several key policies that would guide his efforts if elected:
1. Economic Growth: Razo advocates for better-paying jobs through dismantling burdensome business regulations rather than merely increasing the minimum wage. He believes this approach will empower individuals to buy homes and cars, thus fostering overall economic stability.
2. Immigration Reform: He proposes creating a network that connects young people with job opportunities, eliminating sanctuary status in Colorado, and promoting the integration of legal immigrants into American culture. Razo underscores the significant Hispanic representation within the Border Patrol, reinforcing the importance of this demographic in the conversation about immigration.
Razo’s personal life also resonates with voters. He met his wife at 14; she is a psychologist specializing in mentally ill children and those on the autism spectrum. His family’s history includes losing their property after the death of his father when Razo was just 18, which adds a layer of depth to his understanding of economic hardship.
A Call for Election Integrity
Central to Razo’s platform is the issue of election integrity, which he believes should be a top priority for Americans. His campaign discusses the SAVE Act, aimed at protecting against electoral fraud and making universal voter ID a requirement. He also stresses the importance of targeting corporations connected to electoral malpractice and advocating for transparent electoral practices.
Razo aims to broaden the Republican base by courting Libertarian voters, noting the importance of engaging with groups that can complement his campaign. He identifies the need to resonate with German Americans, a significant demographic in Colorado, and believes that young voters will be drawn to his message of opportunity and authenticity.
Conclusion
As the election approaches, Razo is determined to distinguish himself from his Democratic opponent, Tony Thomas, who is serving his third term and would be in his early 80’s at the completion of another term. With a strong emphasis on values such as camaraderie and continuity within the Republican Party, Razo positions himself as a leader who embodies the spirit and history of the Republic.
With his campaign motto “Opportunity. Authenticity. Action,” Nicholas Razo aims to bring a fresh perspective to South East Colorado Springs, rallying young voters and establishing a solid foundation for the Republican Party in the region. For more information, supporters can visit RallyforRazo.com.
