Robin Heid for Congress, Colorado Third District

I’m Robin Heid. I am running for Congress because RINOs and Pharisees threw Lauren Boebert under the bus and I am not happy about it. More importantly, none of the other candidates seem interested in continuing her mission of protecting Constitution and country from the totalitarians trying to destroy it. 

So I’m stepping up to continue Lauren’s mission, but I need the help of all of you who supported Lauren through thick and thin and Beetlejuice friskiness. I ask that you transfer your support for her to me so that we can continue the mission and at the same time let the RINOs and Pharisees know that their manipulations and bad faith will not stand. The help I most urgently need right now is petition circulators and signers, and a few bucks to pay for gas and printing.

But more on that in a moment. First, a little about me.

I was conceived in the mountains of Colorado, born in the deserts of Arizona, and spent my first winter in a one-room log cabin without plumbing on a ranch east of the Wind River Mountains by Daniel, Wyoming, which at that time was further from a railroad than any town in the United States.

Between then and now, I grew up in the suburbs of Denver, spent four years in the 82d Airborne and 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, earned a pilot’s license and BA degrees in both journalism and political science, then worked in both fields and as a professional skydiver for 30 years.

Wrote a somewhat prescient book in 1987 about aerospace planes and artificial intelligence, then ran for Pat Schroeder’s congress seat in 1988 and for Colorado governor in 1990. Moved to California to seek my fortune as a screenwriter. Did not succeed but made a few thousand skydives and in December 2000 organized what the BBC called the most spectacular celebration of the new millennium: I partnered with government and private-sector entities for a New Year’s Eve 2000 event that saw 250,000+ people watch 15 jumpers representing nine different countries jump 3 seconds before midnight from three different levels of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. We freefell into the new millennium and set a record that can’t be broken for 1,000 years. The cheering from those 250,000 caused a cascade of sound that I had not heard since that 1978 New Year’s Day in Mile High Stadium when Otis Armstrong got the final first down of the AFC championship game to beat the Raiders and send the Broncos to their first-ever Super Bowl.

After that, I was the senior editor and chief correspondent of Skydiving Magazine, did technical writing and documentation management for tech and pharma companies, and earned a masters degree in international relations and American government. Also served as a political consultant for local, state, and national candidates, and for private sector clients both here and abroad. I finally escaped from The People’s Republic of California in 2022, and came “home” to Montrose. I’ve owned real estate there since 2015, my mom has lived there since my dad died in 2017 and she sold their Crawford ranch, and my adult daughter Nicholle and her husband Troy Hall moved there in 2005 to raise their family, and so that Troy could be closer to his workplace at DMEA.

But enough about me. Back to Third CD.

As I said, I’ve thrown my helmet in the ring for Congress because RINOs and Pharisees threw Lauren Boebert under the bus: the RINOs because she wasn’t bringing home enough bacon; the Pharisees so they could trumpet their piousness by discarding Christianity’s foundation premise: Christians aren’t perfect; they’re forgiven.

Lauren came out of nowhere to beat a do-nothing RINO and in her first term, when Democrats ruled the House, she become nationally known for her instinctive, common-sense politics even as she was scolded for her Outside-The-Beltway personal style. When the GOP took over in 2022, Lauren joined with a handful of similarly fearless, dynamic Congressional leaders who pushed through important systemic reforms and helped limit the damage Congress did to the country. Her accomplishments should be celebrated, not denigrated, and she should have been supported, not thrown under the bus.

With the help of you, Lauren’s supporters, we can send another out-of-nowhere, Outside-the-Beltway person to Congress to right that wrong and continue the mission she started – applying common sense, Constitutionally informed representation in Congress to keep the federal ship of state sailing in the right direction and away from the foreign and domestic rocks that could sink it and the 50 states that are its passengers.
