Brandon Wark is the founder of Free State Colorado, an online pro-liberty platform where he produces commentary, interviews, and analysis on Colorado politics, legislation, and grassroots activism. Through Free State Colorado, he has spent years engaging with and highlighting liberty-minded leaders, organizations, and campaigns across the state, building a following among conservatives and libertarians interested in state and local issues.
A third-generation Colorado native based in Greeley, Wark has an extensive history of involvement in the state's political scene, including activism at the Capitol and work with local liberty groups. He is known for his focus on tax and affordability issues, property rights, education policy, and civil liberties. His educational video series on property taxes has helped citizens understand how to influence local government mill levy decisions.
Wark has been a candidate for Greeley City Council, running on an agenda that emphasizes repealing the local food tax, lowering property taxes, and making Greeley more affordable for working families. He has been active in opposing measures like Proposition HH that he argues would undermine TABOR protections.
A frequent guest on the Kim Monson Show since 2023, Wark has appeared ten times to discuss property tax policy, TABOR issues, ballot measures, and local government accountability. He provides practical guidance for citizens seeking to engage with local governments on fiscal issues.
Alongside his political work, Wark has professional experience in sales and small business, which informs his advocacy for free markets and reduced regulatory burdens.

“Last year, they had up to 700 bills introduced in the legislature, with over 500 passing. And the legislature only meets for 120 days.”
