Guest Editorial: Why vote Chip McCrory for district attorney?

RBC I I’m Chip McCrory, the independent candidate for 9th Judicial District Attorney for Rio Blanco, Garfield and Pitkin Counties. As an independent, I am not the choice of political insiders. All voters in the District, regardless of party, signed petitions to place me on the ballot. As an independent, I am free to do what is right, not what is the popular position of the moment.

  1. To the Editor:

    Chip McCrory is a full partner with our valley and communities, including annually volunteering to assist disabled veterans at Aspen/Snowmass. He innately understands and breathes the Colorado law and constitution. He advocates for clients who are mentally ill. He honors substance over image, and is diligent in guiding his clients through a fair process and trial, regardless of unpopular positions needed.

    Chip understands the need for justice, the need to represent and protect the People. He knows our constitutions and laws, both state and federal. He has the prosecutor’s skill of balance – to listen to new facts provided by the defense, to hear the victim(s) and to listen to law enforcement. The prosecutor’s goal is to achieve a just result for that criminal case. The District Attorney is a constitutional check and balance against unlimited police power or emotions of the public. As a prosecutor and as a defense attorney, Chip has promoted the proper and fair administration of criminal justice

    I have worked professionally with Chip McCrory for seventeen years, and shared a law office with him for ten years. It has been an honor to work with him, and I urge you to vote for Chip McCrory, who will be an exceptional District Attorney for the Ninth Judicial District.

    Thank you,
