A Little About MeI have lived in Cañon City for 27 years; we moved here when I was 11 years old. I am a single mother to my 14-year-old son, and I have three dogs named Thor, Zeus, and Titan and three cats named Gennesee, Cinder, and Mazey. I became a homeowner a little over 3 years ago; I love living here and the home I’ve created.

So this is where we are now. The Dow down 4,000 points in two days. A massive tariff war against the rest of the world. Unprecedented job cuts and layoffs. Depression era lines at many unemployment offices. Trump called it “Liberation Day.” The dictionary has an entirely different definition of liberation. So how did we get here?

My name is Christopher (Chris) Wood, and I have proudly called Cañon City home for the last 25 years. My journey began on a 40-acre ranch in Westcliffe, Colorado, where I developed a profound appreciation for the great outdoors and the importance of community. As a small business owner and devoted father of two — my 17-year-old son and my 11-month-old daughter — I hold a deep commitment to our community.

“Come out and play!” These four simple words echo the heartbeat of childhood, the irresistible invitation to step outside, connect, and have fun. For me, they’re more than a memory; they’re a mission. I’m running for a seat on the Cañon City Recreation District Board because I believe that call should ring loud and clear for every kid, family, and neighbor in our community — today and for generations to come.

Donald Trump is the embodiment of power, greed and deception. His vision of this country and the world are based on the things that I was raised to beware of and avoid. Simply put, his values are not mine. He is trampling on everything that has made this country great and has helped to give humanity hope. If you think you are going to benefit from a person who is morally bankrupt, you’d probably be wrong.

My husband and I just recently heard the most beautiful concert and jazz bands at the Cañon City High School!However, since I am elderly, I had a hard time going down the steps of the theater because my balance is bad and there was no railing to help me. My husband helped me down the first four steps. That was as far as I was willing to go. There were a lot of gray heads in the audience, and they might also have appreciated a handrail.
