Dear Editor,

I am writing in support of Jessica Kays for Gilpin County Commissioner, District One. I have known her for about 25 years, both on a personal and professional level. I worked with her when she was the Gilpin County Clerk and Recorder and then the last 13 years as a member of the county’s “IT” contractor.

She works well with all my staff helping us with “IT” problems or issues. She always responds quickly to myself and my staff. She is very familiar with what happens in my office – our busy times and our most stressful times. She is very good at giving us suggestions for things that will help the office run smoother – or how to implement ideas I have. I have also witnessed her working with other departments and believe she is equally quick to respond and help.

It is my experience that she is a great communicator who listens, is open-minded, and willing to collaborate with anyone. If you are someone who has built an opinion of her based off some inaccurate stories of the past, I would encourage you to reach out to her. Her openness to discuss is a breath of fresh air for our County. Hello@VoteKays.com

Jessica is a great leader – which is what Gilpin County needs. She has a fresh perspective, common sense, strong leadership skills, has an awesome work ethic, and she works well with others. All these proven attributes show her ability to be a great leader for Gilpin County.

Jessica Kays is what Gilpin County needs to lead us forward.

Thank you,

Mary Lorenz
