John F. Martin

John is a westerner whose family helped settle a new nation in North Carolina in the 1650’s and then began a migration west with the expansion of the nation.  They traveled through the frontiers of Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, the Indian lands of the Dakotas and Kansas, and finally settled in the Colorado territory by the 1860’s.

After serving the public for nearly 25 years in law enforcement, John retired as an Administrative Sergeant, and expanded his interest in serving the public by running for County Commissioner.  John is currently serving his fourth term.  His philosophy, that no one person is more important than any other, is one which he believes deeply, and he lives and teaches this perspective on a daily basis.

John is an individual who has his heart in the past, his mind on the present and his eyes on the future.  He is a leader who knows that listening, understanding history, in depth research, and willingness to make decisions are the keys to move toward a positive future.
