A number of people asked Grantham to run for office so he could take their values to Denver, and he said that's exactly what he's done. <\/p>\n \"There is unfinished business that needs to be taken care of when it comes to things like energy policy and Second Amendment rights,\" he said. \"We are still heading in the wrong direction, and the conservative values of this community are not being reflected right now in total up in Denver.\" <\/p>\n He said he wants to make sure the people and their values continue to be represented. <\/p>\n \"I think they saw that being done with me, and I hope they will put their trust in me just one more time, and we'll continue to fight for those things\" he said. <\/p>\n During his last four years, Grantham said many of the issues he fought for are items that didn't pass, and some of the things he fought against did pass. <\/p>\n \"The gun control legislation and the way our Second Amendment advocates up there fought for Constitutional rights was outstanding, but ultimately, we didn't have enough votes,\" he said. \"Certainly, I am proud of the fight that we waged. Even then, at the same time, there is still legislation that needs to happen other than that.\" <\/p>\n <\/p>\n See original here:<\/p>\n Grantham seeking second term in Colo.
