Here is the biography of Daniel Renshaw:
I became interested in finance when I was 16 years old taking accounting in high school. However, September 11th happened where I was a freshman so I had made up my mind to serve my country before pursuing college or any career inside the financial industry. I shipped off to be a Marine infantryman immediately after I graduated high school in 2004. During that time, I deployed to Afghanistan, where I took part in both the rescue mission for Operation Red Wings (the operation where Marcus Luttrell and the other Seals got ambushed, popularized in the book and film Lone Survivor.) and Operation Whalers, (the mission where we cornered and defeated the Seal team’s ambushers – Ahmad Shah and his army) where I earned a Navy and Marine Corps commendation medal with a combat distinguishing device. .
My second deployment was to Haditha Iraq where I was shot by a sniper through the liver while on patrol. I was 20 years old at the time and lucky enough to survive the wound even after losing about four liters of blood. I was offered a medical retirement from my injury but opted instead to stay and finish my enlistment. I got an honorable discharge in 2008 and immediately started attending college. While attending college I met my wife, and in order to support her and the two children we have now, I ended up getting a job at the refinery here in Denver while I continued my education.
After graduation, I started my career here with Edward Jones where I continue to partner with people in order to help them achieve what it is that is most important to them. I am a registered Republican and continue to speak at city council meetings all over the front range in opposition of policies that will hurt or limit our economic growth.
(Reuters) – New environmental regulations in Colorado have chilled investment in the state’s oil and gas fields as companies grapple with how local officials will respond to a law giving them more power to restrict energy production.
Colorado now ranks fifth among U.S. states in oil production at about 500,000 barrels per day (bpd), up from just 90,000 barrels in 2010.
That boom, however, has come just as state politics has shifted to the left with an influx of urbanites who tend to oppose fossil-fuel development.
The Colorado law is one sign of pushback to the oil boom in the United States, which last year became the world’s leading producer, overtaking Saudi Arabia.
The 2019 Colorado legislature session is over and in the books.
What happened? What bills were passed? How will it affect your life? What will be on the ballot this November? With Democrats in the majority in both the state House, state Senate, and Governor’s office, how bad did they overreach? What about the recall efforts? 2nd Amendment Rights? Oil and Gas industry?
Lots of questions to answer.
Kevin Priola, SD-25’s Kevin Priola will give us his ground-level take.

They had planned to ask voters in November 2019 to repeal and replace Senate Bill 181, but last week the Colorado secretary of state’s office rejected four versions of their proposed ballot initiative. State officials said the proposals violated a law requiring initiatives to address only one subject.
John Brackney, a former Arapahoe County commissioner and one of the leaders of the repeal effort, said the group decided not to appeal the secretary of state’s ruling and instead will wait to see how the new rules take shape before deciding whether to ask voters to overturn it.
The proposal, announced Wednesday by Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic state lawmakers, would set a uniform nicotine tax at 62 percent. That would lift the taxes on a package of cigarettes to $2.49 from 84 cents.
