School Board Candidates

The 2025 election cycle offers opportunities to run for school board in both BVSD and SVVSD. School board members serve 4 year terms.

There are 3 open seats on the Boulder Valley School Board:

• District B (currently held by Tina Marquis)
• District E (currently held by Donna Miers)
• District F (currently held by Kitty Sargent)

There are 3 open seats on the St. Vrain Valley School Board:

• District B (currently held by Karen Ragland)
• District D (currently held by Meosha Brooks)
• District F (currently held by Sarah Hurianek)

Peggy Kelly is running for school board in SVVSD District B, she has registered with the CO SoS office and has begun campaign operations. Now is the time to rally our resources behind Peggy and all other school board candidates that may run.

Contact Peggy, Cell phone: (303) 815-0604, Email: pgyakelly@gmail.com

Here’s how Boulder County Republicans can help Peggy:

• VOTE for our candidates when you receive your ballot. Be sure to vote early by taking your ballot inside the voter services office and personally placing your ballot (and up to 9 additional ballots), into the silver ballot box.
• DONATE to her campaign. Lots of small dollar donations add up, if you are able to contribute a little each month, that is encouraged and appreciated. One larger donation, maybe from a tax refund, that might be a better option.
• VOLUNTEER to actively participate on the campaign. There are lots of different opportunities to help our candidates. Door knocking will be the best method for getting out the vote, however, there are many other ways to help.
• TELL your family and friends to vote for Peggy. It is estimated that only 25% of registered voters vote in the off-cycle elections (odd years). Because of this, school board elections can be won or loss by very small margins…every vote will count! Also, remember that you can vote for the number of candidates that equal the number of open seats.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a school board candidate, or desire to support candidates, please contact the BCR office at: info@bocogop.org

Legislative Action Committee

The 2025 Legislative Session is well underway at the Capitol, there are many bills in various stages of the legislative process. The BCR Legislative Action Committee will be headed up by Vice Chair George Tristan. This committee will be responsible for staying abreast of the good bills and the bad ones, they will develop action plans that will include contacting Legislators urging them to act on bills according to our principles and values. We also plan to also testify before the Legislature both in person and virtually.

Here are a few notable bills to review, unfortunately, there are too many to mention. Included below, are a few important web links.

House Bill 25-1072

Pretrial Release for Repeat Violent Offenses

Rep. Jarvis Caldwell - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1072 is a crucial step toward protecting our communities by ensuring repeat violent offenders are not repeatedly released on unsecured PR bonds. The data is clear—violent crime is rising while incarceration rates drop, and too many offenders are cycling through the system without accountability. This bill is a reasonable, narrowly tailored approach that prioritizes public safety while maintaining judicial discretion with district attorney oversight. If you believe in safer communities and a justice system that works for law-abiding citizens, your voice is needed—come testify and help pass this commonsense reform.

This bill will be heard in the Judiciary Committee on

Wednesday, March 12th

at 1:30 PM

House Bill 25-1073

Protections Against Child Rape

Rep. Brandi Bradley - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1073 is a critical measure to ensure justice for victims of child sexual assault and to keep dangerous offenders off our streets. Right now, courts can sentence these offenders to probation, leaving children vulnerable and failing to hold predators fully accountable. This bill strengthens protections by requiring mandatory incarceration for those convicted of sexually assaulting a child—removing the option for probation and ensuring offenders serve time behind bars. This is a straightforward, necessary step to safeguard our children and send a clear message that crimes against them will not be tolerated. Come testify and help us protect Colorado’s kids.

This bill will be heard in the Judiciary Committee on

Wednesday, March 12th

at 1:30 PM

House Bill 25-1222

Preserving Access to Rural Independent Pharmacies

Rep. Ty Winter - Prime Sponsor

HB25-1222 is a vital step toward preserving health care access in rural communities by ensuring independent pharmacies can continue to serve patients without unnecessary restrictions from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). By allowing rural pharmacies to use private delivery services, ensuring fair reimbursement rates, and establishing clear audit protections, this bill helps keep these essential businesses afloat. Additionally, the creation of "flex pharmacies" enhances access to medication in underserved areas. Protecting rural pharmacies means protecting patients—come testify and support this effort to keep critical health care services available to all Coloradans.

This bill will be heard in the Health and Human Services Committee on
