Paul Brown, candidate for 59th House District; Rich Valdez, candidate for sheriff; Ray Lattin, commissioner candidate; and Jim Huffman, chair of central committee.

Invited speakers include: Bob Beauprez, candidate for governor;  Jill Repella, candidate for lieutenant governor; and Cory Gardner, candidate for U.S. Senate.
