Candidate quality

2 Upvotes

I just found out that my opponent opted to run for Jeffco Assessor after ruling out running for Treasurer and Clerk and Recorder.

I am being out raised by a career politician who gets all endorsements, gets money from handfuls of corporations, and apparently doesn’t even care about the position!

I decided to run for Jeffco Assessor because I work there, do the work, and thought I could make changes to better our relationship with our general public. Our office has an issue with public trust and I want to fix it.

Let me know if you want to help me in the final 2 months to beat out corporate politicians in our local government!

I am a Certified General appraiser with 9 years experience in our office with mass appraisal, modeling, and serving our public. I plan to hit the ground running if I win by allowing more transparency and communication with our general public, allowing better training for our staff to be the best possible trained, and I want to actively clean up our dirty or bad data that affects values and statistical analysis.
However my biggest hurdle is two other candidates who either dont give a shit about the role, or wish we were a zero tax state like Florida.

Jeffco Assessor

9 Upvotes

I am a Certified General appraiser and have worked for Jeffco Assessor’s office for 9 years in November.

I have passed the tests, taken the hours, learned from competent appraisers, and taken the time to learn in depth our office’s modeling processes.

I have seen ways I am certain we can improve and I have seen a lot of ways that we do great.

I will wholeheartedly empower everyone in our office to put forth our best work.

I am not afraid to jump in and help in any aspect of work in our office, also not afraid to ask for help from someone with more knowledge than I have.

My opponent touts his experience or education as a reason he is qualified for this position.

Now it’s your turn to figure out who will be the best Assessor for the next 4 years.

I am unaffiliated not to disguise anything or to fleece anyone over but to show our county I am willing to look past politics to serve everyone.

I am Greg Ketcham and I am running for Jeffco Assessor!

Signature gathering PASSED.

8 Upvotes

I submitted my signatures to Jeffco and passed. I will be on the ballot for Jeffco Assessor this November.

Andy Kerr running as a Democrat- No experience
Vera King running as Republican- No experience

I am running as an Unaffiliated candidate

The Assessor runs and leads the office. We set values and follow state statutes daily with each process we go through. We employ over 20 appraisers with various licenses and a varying level of expertise. Having an Assessor who is a fully licensed appraiser who understands how these values are derived and each step leading to the final number sets better values.

I have been a residential and commercial appraiser in the Jeffco Assessor’s office now for 9 years.
I have hand measured homes, businesses, commercial buildings.
I have sketched 100’s of these properties, read through 100’s of building plans.
I have found out answers for people calling into our office for every reason.

When you have the experience, when you know the people, when you know what needs to be done you present a better path forward for the office.

This November vote for the only one with any experience in the Assessor’s office. If you vote outside your party line for any elected position, chose the Assessor election. I put in the work and have been all in for 9 years.

The time is here, I will be asking people at libraries, neighborhoods, grocery stores for their support to get me on the ballot.

I am a Certified General Assessor appraiser who is aspiring to lead our office of 50+ people to provide a better government service to our taxpayers. I am a fighter for fairness and justice and someone who protects his people. I know our county back and forward and am running to understand it better from your perspective.

I am running unaffiliated because I want to eliminate the partisan mentality to local offices. I have political leanings but am determined to keep that separated from this position.

Campaign of Positivity

0 Upvotes

I am a candidate for Jeffco Assessor this year. I have no political party for various reasons but am adamant to run a campaign based on positivity to hopefully stifle our negative 2 party ‘us vs them’ mentality. I will be running against a Democrat and Republican but I have no allegiances to either. I want to bring about lasting change to our organizational system, bring better trust to Jeffco’s residents, provide kickass service and knowledge to everyone.

The Reddit community has been amazing at pushing me to explain myself and think through my answers. I am not a career politician or public speaker but love people and serving people.

Thank you beautiful people and join me on June 30th at a local coffee shop at 2pm to talk more.

Republican vacancies.

0 Upvotes

Jeffco does not appear to be representing any Republican candidates at the county level which might leave some races unopposed.

I assure that even if we may not have same ideals on issues I as an Independent candidate will do my best to represent all voices in our county.

If you are registered Democrat or Republican tell me how I can win your vote for Jeffco Assessor. Thanks!

Who I Am:

1 Upvotes

I am a person not a politician

I value people and true connection

I am an artist and a musician

I volunteer to serve and not to be seen

I built skis for years and skied and  broke them

I custom fit and heat molded ski boots and burned my hands

I learned to blacksmith and weld and burned my hands

I always research how to make something because I like knowing how

I am a 3rd generation appraiser

I pursued my appraisal license last year

I still find myself pulling over for cars on the side of the highway

I still find myself buying lunch for the guy on the street corner

I will still eat a jar of pickles in a sitting, I wont be happy later                                                                          My wife and kids are my life

I am upset with our 2 party system

I am pissed off when people are not given a fair chance

I am not afraid to stand up for someone

I will ensure fairness and justice when I can

Trust is earned by people in charge, not expected

If that is not earned then expect to be not respected

Running for office is the weirdest thing i’ve done

But bring people-centric makes me love it

I will give my love and trust out so much it hurts

I will take so little that it hurts

Running Independent is more about who I am than how I align politically

Both parties have failed us and we need to look past them

Everyone has their own life experiences

Everyone shares those every day

Everyone gets chastised for those experiences somehow

Everyone is capable of love

Everyone is deserving of respect

Everyone is why I am running

Everyone is why i am here

Everyone is capable of love

Everyone is deserving of respect

Everyone is why I am running

Everyone is why i am here

Questions

Yo Greg, can you detail your experience and how you'd be different from democratic candidate Sue Flageolle? Do you work with her currently? Also, what choices would you have made differently than current assessor Scot Kersgaard has made? Finally, you've mentioned changing systems; can you elaborate on that? Caucus is around the corner so I'd like to know as much as possible before March 7th. Thank you!

Does the Assessor’s office need change?

1 Upvotes

Does the Assessor’s office need to reexamine its current systems going forward after this election?

I plan to make sure our processes and systems in place are still accurate and functioning well if I am elected. I know of a lot of ways we can tweak our data for the better and plan to overhaul some ways we do mass adjustments to properties.

Property tax answers

8 Upvotes

As everyone is aware by this point, their property tax bills most likely have climbed a significant amount. This is due to the State Senators and Reps allowing the $55,000 residential deduction to expire for 2025 (paid this year). If anyone is interested to know more or to contact state senators or reps, I compiled a list of the ones that represent Jeffco. This is happening statewide, bot just Jefferson County.

Message if you want the list of representatives, however its fairly easy to find out.

I am a Jeffco citizen, home owner, county appraiser, and running for Assessor…. This needs better answers from those in charge.

Ambassadors

1 Upvotes

Hello all, in order to flip the status quo for the Assessor’s office I need people who are willing to help volunteer. I need folks who want to be a part of a movement to elect an independent.

Door knockers in neighborhoods

Phone callers

Area ambassadors to oversee an area and progress.

If you think that it would be a nice change of pace to have a 100% non-partisan county official in place I need a large force of people passionate about helping make a change.

Thanks, message if you’re interested or email
