Mayor Elizabeth Austin of Milliken
“I support Scott James for the 8th Congressional District of the U.S. House of Representatives, as I believe he will represent the people with fairness and respect. Scott’s conservative values puts focus on key issues of border safety, growing homeless population and mental health. We cannot forget the willingness to serve and support important services such as the food banks.”
Sheriff John Feyen of Larimer County
“Scott James has a proven track record of sound fiscal leadership. The Town of Johnstown was able to eliminate their long-term debt and he kept Weld County debt free while Scott was in office. Scott also believes parents should have a voice in their child’s education. Having served on the Executive Board of a local Charter School for the past 11 years, this is important to me. These are a few of the reasons I’m supporting Scott James for Congress.”
Weld County Commissioner Mike Freeman
“I have worked side-by-side with Scott since he was elected Weld County Commissioner in 2018 and Weld County residents have benefitted from his thoughtful, persistent approach. We fought together against COVID mandates and lockdowns. Scott’s consistent work in transportation has helped attract hundreds of millions of dollars in investment on Weld County roads. He believes in keeping government small and budgets balanced. His non-stop efforts for Weld County citizens is why he was honored as ‘Commissioner of the Year’ by Colorado Counties, Incorporated. I am happy to endorse Scott James for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
Mayor John Gates of Greeley
“I got acquainted with Scott when he was the Mayor of Johnstown. Our professional relationship continued when Scott was elected as a Weld County Commissioner. I have collaborated with Scott on many issues of mutual concern. Scott is a friendly face, a good listener and is a man of his word. I strongly endorse his candidacy for the 8th Congressional District of the U.S. House of Representatives.”
Mayor Zo Stieber Hubbard of Fort Lupton

His ability to get straight to the point, and speak eloquently without rhetoric is well known. It’s a pleasure to see a strong leader in action, and he embodies that leadership. Colorado needs the voice he provides.”
Weld County Commissioner Kevin Ross
“Scott James is the right person for the 8th Congressional District. He has consistently served the peoplein his district as Commissioner, and he did the same as Mayor of Johnstown. Scott has worked tirelessly to secure funding towards I-25 improvements. I’ve worked with him for over a decade and Scott James has been consistent in using data and metrics to find solutions to even the most difficult challenges.”
Mayor Colleen Whitlow of Mead
“I have spent years working with Scott James to make the 8th Congressional District a better place for Colorado families and businesses to call home. Scott has always focused on ensuring everyday voices are heard as we worked together to develop and capitalize on the economic growth in the 8th District and ensure transportation needs are met. I know Scott will do the same when he gets to Washington and that’s why I could not be more proud to support his candidacy for Congress.”
Elbert County Commissioner Chris Richardson
“I strongly endorse Scott James. He is the right person with the right values to represent CD8 in Congress. I know him to be a principled, passionate, and tireless advocate for the citizens he serves. He speaks clearly, means what he says, and does what he says he will do. I have worked alongside him as a county commissioner, and know he will get the job done for you in D.C. Vote for Scott James – It’s a vote you will never regret.”
Mayor Jan Kulmann of Thornton
“As a local government leader, Scott James understands the importance of being a strong voice for his community. Our working families continue to struggle with high inflation, staggering rents, and uncertainty in the job market. We need a leader like Scott James who will champion working families and common-sense fiscal policies to remove Washington’s crippling fiscal weight from Colorado families.”
Mayor Gary Lagrimanta of Kersey
“I got to know Scott when we worked together to defeat anti-energy Proposition 112. Scott has been a consistent voice for small towns. He helps people understand how rural Colorado differs from metropolitan areas – rural Colorado is for everyone! Scott has a voice for hard-working families and he understands the value of every individual. Scott has a care and passion very seldom seen and a kind of common sense that is needed more now in Congress than ever before.”
Mayor Mark Clark of Evans
“It is my pleasure to endorse Scott James in his run for U.S. Congress. For years I have witnessed Scott’s dedication to local control and small-town values. Together we have worked diligently to further economic and workforce development, fought against bloated government encroachment, and cooperated regionally for the betterment of Northern Colorado as a whole. I trust that Scott will continue his good work in Washington DC; we need him elected for all of us.”
Mayor Andrew Martinez of La Salle
“Scott has been a proven leader from his days as Councilman, Mayor of Johnstown, and currently as County Commissioner. He is more than qualified, extremely personable, and has the passion and ability to get things done for Colorado. We need someone in Congress who will respectfully represent our state and great nation, but will also be there for those of us in small town America. Join me in supporting our hometown kid Scott James for Congress.”
Mayor Troy Mellon of Johnstown
