Mark Sievers

WOODLAND PARK - A host of Republican candidates, from the CD-5 and HD-45 races to those running for the city council, talked shop with the Home Builders Association of Teller County Wednesday night in Woodland Park.

CD-5 GOP primary candidates Jeff Crank and Bentley Rayburn each discussed homebuilding and other issues at the HBA meeting, held at the Shining Mountain Golf Course clubhouse.

One of the mild surprises in the Denver metro area during a weekend of Republican county assemblies was the results for State House 45, where former Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Carole Murray faced off against Teller County GOP Chair Mark Sievers.

In that contest, Sievers took 58% of the vote to Murray’s 42%.  read more »
