An Open Letter to

Montrose County Commissioner Sue Hansen

We find it very disturbing and unbelievable you have publicly aligned herself with the disgraced and former Montrose County GOP Party Chair in your respective and deceitful efforts to potentially remove your Commissioner colleague, Mr. Scott Mijares.

● Did you forget that you and your spouse voted along with 83% of the Party’s Central Committee in February 2021 that resulted in defeating the disgraced Chair from being re-elected?

● He was soundly defeated (only received 17% of the vote - all were/are part of the local Deep State) because of his misconduct and abusive behavior towards fellow Party members.

● Did you forget that your new alignment with the disgraced former Chair FALSELY accused your husband, and fortunately failed in his attempt to remove your spouse from his elected Party office?   Former disgraced Chair wanted and demanded your spouse to violate pre-Primary Neutrality By-Laws?  Your spouse rightly refused to comply with the then Chair’s illegal demands.

● Did you forget that it was your spouse who discovered that the disgraced former Chair stole a Congressional Candidate’s campaign literature just days prior to the Primary?

● Did you forget the disgraced individual as Chair refused to return the stolen merchandise after he was CAUGHT BY YOUR HUSBAND?   Did you forget your colleague and fellow Commissioner at that time, Keith Caddy, drove out to the Chair’s home to retrieve the stolen campaign literature?

● Did you forget that your spouse with a handful of other Party leaders met at Party’s HQ with the said Candidate and counted each literature piece to assure Caddy successfully retrieved all materials?

● Did you forget the disgraced individual as Chair failed to provide accountability for campaign cash donations?

● Did you forget the disgraced former Chair still has not submitted a final Financial Report after Four and Half Years?

● Did you forget about the disgraced former Chair’s verbal assault and abuse towards women and some men?  Did you forget his Secretary resigned because she could no longer take his abuse?

● Did you forget he violated a major By-Law that specifically stated (and still does) that the 2nd Vice Chair makes the selection to fill Central Committee vacancies and that the Chair/Executive Committee “Shall Ratify” the decision by the 2nd Vice Chair’s vacancy committee?  Did you forget your husband was the 2nd Vice Chair at that time?

● Did you forget the disgraced former Chair publicly yelled at a female guest speaker followed with his F-Bombs, because she mentioned having evidence (later provided to Sheriff’s office) directly linking the infamous Sex Survey (asking children as young as 10 years of age about “Anal Sex” and other perversions) to a State Senator’s sponsorship of the so-called Sex Education HB 19-1032?

● Did you forget the disgraced individual was also removed as “Candidate Support Chair” in 2022, because again he violated pre-Primary Neutrality By-Laws?

We know you did not forget, but overlooked or condoned, if not supported, the disgraced former Chair’s disruptive behavior in 2024 at the Caucus and violent outbursts at a number of Meet & Greet events and Candidate forums; all because both of you supported the opponent of Scott Mijares.   An opponent with multiple Federal Tax Liens among other issues over the competent and successful business owner, community investor who pays his taxes - Scott Mijares.

What were you and what are you afraid of that you would support Mijares opponent in the 2024 Primary (violating your own declared policy of neutrality) and further opposed Mijares even after he was elected by the people in November?   Apparently, you have lost your moral compass and the community is hurting because of your actions, unethical behavior, and desperate attempt to hold on to power at any cost.   Shame on You! 

So, Sue, do you really believe that shaking hands and kissing babies is going to cure all the shenanigans you have pulled here in Montrose County?  Do you really believe that the under handed, political moves that undermined the very constituents will go un-noticed and un-detected and covered over because you were shaking a few hands at the county fair? We think NOT!  We are going to do our very best to ensure that your misdeeds are exposed at every turn!

Maybe the recall should be against you?
