A Message from Don Coram

"I'm Don Coram and 12 years ago I got tired of watching people tear us apart. I decided to see what I could do, so I ran for the State House. I didn't tweet 10 times a day, I didn't try to get on TV, what did was get was get us rural broadband and small business grants, to bring good paying jobs to our towns."

It's time for us to reprioritize policy over politics.

The working men and women of this country are being ignored.

Rhetoric is popular, but doesn't get results.

Why I'm Running for Congress

Before leaving office, George Washington warned us that the biggest threat to our young nation was politicians putting partisanship and personal gain over their duty to the American public.

He was right.

When rhetoric, grandstanding, and cheap political tricks take priority over fighting for the hard-working men and women in this country, we have a problem. When the fringe leaders of both political spectrums have taken all the oxygen in the room and act more like out-of-touch celebrities than members of Congress, we have a problem. I want to be part of the solution.

I made the decision to run for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District after a year of conversations with constituents and local and industry leaders across our district. The message was clear, people want more from their representative than they are currently getting. They want someone who will take the time to listen, someone who has the experience to help, and someone who will be effective in working towards solutions to the real problems we are facing. I am that candidate!

Deep Colorado Roots

Don Coram was born and raised in Montrose, Colorado, on a family farming and ranching operation along with his sister, Darla, and brother, Dwayne. While growing up, Don’s parents ran Stockyards in Montrose and Grand Junction, Colorado. Don’s wife Dianna Coram is a third generation Delta, Colorado, girl. Together they have one son, Dee, who is also their business partner. Don, Dianna and Dee are proud to have such strong roots and a history all throughout the 3rd District.

A Lifetime of Service

Ranching, mining, environmental reclamation, and Main Street business are what you will see when looking at Coram’s background. Strong community participation has always been very important to Don and Dianna and is apparent in their past and current involvement with organizations like the San Juan Cancer Center, the Dolphin House, Magic Circle Community Theatre, and Welcome Home Montrose.

Commitment to Colorado

Prior to being elected by the people of House District 58 to serve in the Colorado House of Representatives in 2010, Don served as 2nd Vice-Chairman of the Montrose County Republican Central Committee and was selected by then Colorado State GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams to serve on the CRC Executive Committee.
