LESLIE LEWALLEN STATEMENT ON COLORADO DECISION

CAMAS, WA – Yesterday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that President Trump is ineligible to be listed on the ballot for voters in the state due to his alleged involvement in the January 6th insurrection.

Leslie Lewallen, former prosecuting attorney, current Camas City Council Member and candidate for WA-03, weighed in on the report.

As a former law clerk for two state supreme court justices, this decision is just another example of judicial activism gone awry. Four judges in Colorado have twisted the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution into a pretzel to use it as a pretext to stop people from voting for Trump because they do not like his politics. As I read the 200-page opinion, it is poorly reasoned, outrageous, unprecedented, and I suspect, on its way to well-deserved reversal by the US Supreme Court.”
