Re: Introduction- Shane For County Commissioner

[Frank Lancaster]

Hi Shane,

I’d be happy to chat with you sometime when you are up this way.   Just let me know when you plan to come and we can see if we can work something out.   I’m happy to recommend a few other folks you may want to visit with as well.

In our commitment to transparency, all e-mails to the Town Trustees are published on our website for public review, just like the County Commissioner e-mails are.   If for any reason you wish not to have your correspondence placed on the website, you can mark your e-mail as PRIVATE in the subject line, and per state open records legislation and Town policy, that e-mail won’t be published. 

Thank you for making the commitment to our county and running for Commissioner!   I know that’s a big decision and commitment.

Frank Lancaster

Hi Frank--

I was talking to Michelle Bird today, and she suggested reaching out to you, but didn't have your cell number. (Also, I think Lorenda suggested reaching out a while back as well)

I'm Shane Atkinson, and I am running for county commissioner. I was hoping to make a day trip up to estes and introduce myself to some folks, and wanted to include you in that, or see if you might be willing to help me facilitate it. 

My website is here- shaneforlarimer.org

A bit of overview, John and Kristin have endorsed me, as has state Rep. Andy Boesenecker. I work in the county managers/public affairs office now running the Legislative Affairs Program. Prior to joining the county, I worked for Joe Neguse for two years, and before that I was a highschool history teacher for 13 years. 

My cell number is 970-481-6741. 

Looking forward to connecting!
