IVN: Bob Chew Wants Colorado’s Senate Race to Be About the Problems Both Parties Duck

A submarine officer’s campaign to force Washington to face the hard math.

IVN published a substantive profile of Bob Chew’s independent campaign for U.S. Senate in Colorado — part of the outlet’s series covering independent candidates on their own terms rather than as footnotes to a two-party horse race.

The profile lays out what makes Bob unusual among candidates of any affiliation: he’s running on the issues most politicians run from. The national debt. The looming insolvency of Social Security and Medicare. The serious international threats America faces. As a young Navy ensign, Bob took an oath to the Constitution aboard a nuclear submarine; he sees this campaign as keeping that oath. IVN also details his record as a builder — co-founding a consulting firm and growing it from four employees to roughly 750 — and his clear-eyed, engineer’s theory of how an independent breaks through: seed the campaign, earn traction, and let results attract support.

With millions committed and experienced staff on board, Chew’s campaign is one of the strongest tests yet of whether Colorado voters are ready to reward honesty about hard problems. IVA is proud to endorse this Navy veteran who refuses to sit on the sidelines.
