Welcome to Jason Bane's Blog

Hello, and thanks for visiting. I'll be making regular updates about my campaign and about the issues that are important to the people of Jefferson County, Colorado. For more information about me and my campaign, visit www.JasonBane.org.

I'm running for County Commissioner for a number of reasons, including to promote responsible growth policies that preserve open space and to make Jefferson County the epicenter of the renewable energy industry in this country. But what ultimately prompted me to run is very simple: I am sick and tired of the corruption and mismanagement that has plagued Jefferson County for decades. The problems have been well-documented:
