Thank you everyone for your support and votes in the primary election. Now to the general election.

Hope to see everyone at upcoming events.

Certainly, enjoyed meeting with Bent County residents from the McClave area in the last couple of evenings. Had several interesting conversations with prospective voters. Also made friends with a great assortment of friendly farm dogs.

I hope that you will support me and that I will be able to meet your expectations if you choose me to be your County Commissioner.

Good time walking through 600-1100 blocks of 3rd through Ambassador Thompson Avenues of Las Animas this week. Also managed to chat with future constituents in 300-700 blocks of Ash and Maple and answer questions asked regarding citizen concerns.

If I missed you on Monday or Wednesday evenings and you have questions or concerns feel free to go to the Contact page and fill in the contact form. I will get with you shortly.

 AN OPEN LETTER TO BENT COUNTY CITIZENS

 

June 2, 2022

 Greetings:

 As founder and area coordinator of the Arkansas Valley Tea Party Patriots-CO (AVTPP), I am very pleased to endorse Alan Stump as candidate for Bent County Commissioner. AVTPP is a grassroots organization which has a high regard for personal freedom, economic responsibility, and a debt free future. We believe elected officials should be working for YOU--their constituents. We strongly affirm Alan Stump has what it takes to fulfill that bill.

 Alan served on our advisory board for approximately 10 years and is an excellent team member. I had the opportunity to work with him on several projects. I have found his advice to be impeccable. He regularly contributes useful ideas to our group.  He is conscientious and concerned about taxpayers’ rights. He is an honest man taking personal responsibility for his actions. When faced with issues, he does sound research, gathers the facts and then, makes reliable, wise decisions.

 During this time, I know Alan has regularly attended Bent County Commissioner meetings.  He listens and asks questions, assuring that he understands the issues regarding Bent County and its residents.

 Alan has a keen interest in the Constitution and has built strong coalitions with many liberty-minded groups. Besides AVTPP, he has teamed up with Center for Self-Governance and the Heritage Foundation to gather credible information and to educate others.

 Alan has a true sense of altruism.  As an elected official he just wants to help his community solve its many problems. He’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work. This is why we at AVTPP strongly recommend candidate Alan Stump as your next county commissioner.

 Just know that anyone voting for Alan Stump will find they've hired not only a valuable county commissioner, but a particularly decent person in whom absolute trust can be placed.

 Yours sincerely,

 Betty Blanco

Founder

Serving Bent, Otero and Crowley Counties

Endorsement from Tom Wallace—Former Bent County Commissioner-District 2

 I support Alan Stump for Bent County Commissioner.

Alan has attended most of the regular Commissioner meetings for at least the last 16 years. He is familiar with operations of the county and has always been respectful and not interfered with the actions taken.

Alan is a student of government and has the interests of the county and the citizens of the county as his main concern. As a business owner he understands the importance of budgeting to keep the county operating in the black.

I'm voting for Alan Stump for Bent County Commissioner District 2. Sincerely,

Tom Wallace
