Hugh McKean was elected to represent Colorado House District 51 on November 6, 2016. He has sponsored bills to improve transportation in Northern Colorado, help County governments in natural disaster recovery efforts, apply necessary corrections to statute where County Sheriff training requirements were concerned in addition to many other bills. One of the highlights of the session was co-sponsorship of HB1248 making available $90 million in loans for the Chimney Hollow Reservoir as part of the Windy Gap Firming Project, a vital water infrastructure project that will ensure water security for generations of Front Range Coloradans. Having lived in Loveland for over twenty years he is most proud of raising his children with a “western ethic”, teaching them self-reliance and personal responsibility.
Do not believe the lies about my support of the 2nd Amendment. I PROUDLY SUPPORT OUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS and fight tirelessly that it NOT BE INFRINGED.
In fact I fight so hard I actually win. I passed the very first pro-2nd Amendment bill this last year, HB 22-1168, returning Hunter Education to our 7th Grade classrooms. This was the first pro-2nd Amendment bill passed in Colorado in almost two decades. That work earned me the endorsement of the National Rifle Association of which I am a Life Member, the National Shooting Sports Association and the Colorado Shooting Sports Association.
I have earned the respect of these organizations because I show my commitment every day. I am a Concealed Carry Instructor, a Basic Pistol and Firearms Safety Instructor and a member of a competitive three-gun shooting team. This isn’t some political issue for me, it’s a way of life that started with my first .22 when I was just a farm kid.
I am a proud:
• 100 percent Second Amendment supporter
• Lifetime Member of the NRA
• Frontline Defender for the National Association of Gun Rights
• Concealed Carry Instructor
• An avid hunter and competitive three-gun team shooter
