For Gilpin County Commissioner
PRESS RELEASE – Gilpin County needs to stay the course with the proven leadership Ron Engels has provided in his first term, especially since the pandemic began. He knows the processes and the people, the detail of what the county’s response has been and how to move us forward to a successful outcome. The county cannot afford the downtime that would be required of a new commissioner coming on board. Today, and until there is a vaccine, Engels’ highest priority as a county commissioner will and must be to continue protecting the health and safety of all our residents, employees and visitors from contracting COVID-19, while at the same time allowing gaming, our primary industry, to stay open, producing revenue to fund county services.
He worked with our local public health department, CDPHE and our casino managers to craft a plan to get casinos opened at viable levels while still keeping county residents, and casino employees and visitors safe and healthy. Returning our primary revenue source to conditions as good as or better than before the pandemic is vital to dealing with our fiscal instability.
