Luke Ragland, along with Jayne Schindler, will be speaking and taking your questions.
Their biographies are listed below.
Luke will be discussing education and school choice issues in Colorado while Jayne will talk about Theodor Geisel and cancel culture.
Theodor Geisel?
Who’s that?
You might know him by his pen name, Dr. Seuss.
In elementary school, most youngsters read his books.
But that may be changing.
We meet at 1305 West 121st Avenue in Westminster. We’re unable to serve a continental breakfast due to COVID restrictions.
Luke is the President of Ready Education Network. Prior to joining Ready Colorado and launching Ready Education Network, he served as Vice President of Policy at Colorado Succeeds, a coalition of business leaders focused on improving the state’s education system. Luke led the organization’s legislative, judicial, and policy strategies. He played a key role in developing and passing policies that increased school choice, protected taxpayer accountability, and defended tenure reforms.
Previously, Luke practiced complex commercial litigation at a law firm in Denver. He also spent time working in the White House, where he authored political briefs for President Bush and other cabinet-level officials. Luke coordinated political and official events for the President to help elect Republican candidates across the country.
Luke is a fourth-generation Coloradan who grew up working for his family’s logging company in rural southwestern Colorado. He currently lives in Denver with his wife and daughter.

A week after this last election, I wrote a column saying that Republicans need to develop a “Contract with Colorado” based on conservative policy proposals that 55% or more of voters support. I said, “Republicans have an opportunity over the next two years to set a clear agenda and articulate it to voters.”
