ENDORSEMENTS
Jane Norton
Colorado Lt. Governor (former)
​
Janet Rowland shares my values as a compassionate conservative. She understands that protecting our children and youth requires community partnerships and she has a track record of bringing together public, private, non-profit and faith-based organizations to solve community problems such as protecting children and supporting senior citizens.
Marcia Neal
Colorado Board of Education (former)
I fully support Janet Rowland for County Commissioner. Janet has proven knowledge and a strong work ethic, along with conservative values. I look forward to seeing her once again in the Commissioner's chair.
Josh Penry
Colorado State Senator, (former)
​
Janet Rowland has a track record of fighting for the kind of government that Mesa County residents want. She played a central role in driving statewide policy on the meth crisis and was an ever-present lioness for limited government on stages big and small.
Use of the bully pulpit brought occasional controversy to Janet's tenure. But so what? That's leadership. When you are taking flack, you are over the target, and Janet was never bashful about doing precisely that.
Yeulin Willett
Colorado State Representative, (former)
Janet Rowland is solid as can be and a proven leader. She is just what we need for Mesa County in the coming years.
Craig Meis
Mesa County Commissioner, (former)
Having had the opportunity to serve as a County Commissioner alongside Janet for 8 years, I can attest that she is a principled conservative. She also understands, better than anyone, the human services world and the many programs and formulas associated. You will not find a stronger advocate for those considered “at risk” who helps in a manner that protects them and supports them in achieving self-sufficiency, rather than a lifetime of dependency on welfare programs.
Paul and Ann Béen
Integrity then, integrity now. In the 25 years we have known Janet
Rowland, she has demonstrated integrity. As a counselor in private practice, while working at the Deparment of Human Services, while serving as County Commissioner, and as Executive Director of CASA. Her entire professional career has been serving others, and always with stellar integrity. These are the qualities we want in local government! We endorse Janet Rowland for Mesa County Commissioner.
Laura Carno
F.A.S.T.E.R. Colorado, Executive Director
Janet Rowland understands that when communities are faced with challenges, instead of raising taxes they should raise their expectations. She has been a defender of TABOR and has a track record of finding creative solutions to financial challenges.

Janet Rowland has an incredible record of public service. As a former county commissioner in Mesa County, Janet was known for hard work, fiscal responsibility and common sense. Every job she has ever done has been done with compassion for those whom she chose to serve. Mesa County would be well-served to have Janet serve again as county commissioner.
