![]() ![]() Why don't we start with inflation? Do you think Democratic policies and the amount of federal spending - relief spending - is a contributor to inflation?įrisch: The Fed was very late to realize that the inflation numbers that were coming out were not just transitory, which is Fed-speak for temporary. Warner: There's a lot there that I'd like to unpack. That's the coalition that we're going to use to see her defeated. Our plan is to build a bipartisan, pro-normal coalition and we'll need about a third or a fourth of those that voted against her in the primary. She had 36 percent of the people in her own primary vote against her. In the primary, I think it's a huge sign of weakness when any incumbent cannot even get two-thirds of their own party to vote for them. I think those are the issues that I don't see her focused on at all. What is an example of an issue that you think she is not paying attention to that affects people in the CD-3?įrisch: I think those issues have to do with inflation and economic challenges we have ahead They have to do with water They have to do with the rural aspects of healthcare They have to do with the rural aspects of education to make sure that there's the right amount of funding, so it's not just the wealthy big cities or the wealthy resort communities that are being looked after when it comes to education. Warner: So that's an example of how you would change the style: The end of what you call “angertainment.” And yet, Lauren Boebert was elected in the first place and also won her primary, so unaffiliated and Republican voters chose her over an alternative. ![]() And unfortunately, those people are not the ones on television all the time. I think that's 80 percent of what members of Congress are trying to do. That's something that I believe 80 percent of the people want to happen in the United States. It's about building coalitions, focusing on the job, passing legislation and discussing things in a thoughtful and calm manner. I've been the same thing in the nonprofit world The same thing when I was doing what I call “elected community service” when I was a City Councilperson for eight years. I've been a bipartisan, consensus building, successful business person. I think our current representative, is part of that leader of this angertainment industry that our current representative and her best friend, Marjorie Taylor Green, are running around the country yelling and screaming and firing a lot of people up about issues that have nothing to do what I know that the men and women and children and families and businesses are focused on in Western and Southern Colorado. Warner: What's an important way you would change how CD-3 is represented?įrisch: Right now, I don't think the district's being represented. ![]() This conversation has been edited for clarity and length. “It's about building coalitions and focusing on the job and passing legislation and discussing things in a thoughtful and calm manner.”įrisch, a businessman and former Aspen City Councilperson, spoke with Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner on a number of topics, including water, student loan debt and foreign policy. ![]() “Our current representative and her best friend, Marjorie Taylor Greene, are running around the country yelling and screaming and firing a lot of people up about issues that have nothing to do what I know the men and women and children and families and businesses are focused on in Western and Southern Colorado,” Frisch said. While acknowledging the sizable challenge before him, Frisch insists there's a very tangible path to victory that involves creating a “pro-normal coalition.” That’s in contrast with what he calls the “angertainment” that has become prevalent in today’s politics. Adam Frisch wants to change that, but to do so he'll have to win against Lauren Boebert, the incumbent and one of the GOP's rising stars. Encompassing part of the Western Slope, CD-3 is a district as red as a Colorado Mesa: it hasn't elected a Democrat to office since 2008. ![]()
