Russ Carter is a native Coloradan, business owner, and homeschool father who ran as a Republican for the Colorado House of Representatives in District 30 during the 2022 election cycle. His journey into politics began as a caucus attendee before deciding to become a candidate himself.
Carter's campaign platform focused on opposing government overreach and the expansion of state power. He was particularly critical of COVID-19 shutdown policies, rising crime rates, and SB-181's impact on Colorado's energy policy, noting that voters had previously rejected similar energy restrictions through the ballot initiative process.
As a business owner and homeschooling parent, Carter brings firsthand experience with both entrepreneurship and education policy to his political perspective. His 2022 candidacy, though unsuccessful, represented grassroots conservative engagement in Colorado state politics.
