Samantha Koch is a Colorado business owner and mother of three who entered political life as a candidate for the Colorado House of Representatives in District 1 during the 2020 election cycle.
Koch's campaign centered on the principles of freedom and individual liberty, arguing that politicians should empower citizens to make their own decisions rather than acting as safety gatekeepers. She was particularly critical of COVID-era policies that restricted personal freedoms.
During her campaign, Koch challenged her opponent's record, specifically criticizing a vote against allowing families to be with dying loved ones in hospitals during the pandemic. She argued this was an example of government overreach that violated fundamental human relationships and individual rights.
Koch appeared on the Kim Monson Show in October 2020, shortly before the election, to discuss her candidacy and make the case for limited government and individual liberty to voters in House District 1.
