The Jefferson County clerk opted not to run for re-election, but he's not done doing good.
, who ran for Colorado Secretary of State and lost to incumbent Jena Griswold, have not given up on the process., past clerk and recorder of Jefferson County, is contemplating his next move.

So I deferred college and moved to North Carolina. I don’t think my parents were thrilled about it, but they said:"You do you. You’re eighteen, you’re an adult. But you’re on your own. We’re not funding this excursion of yours." So I ensured I had a paycheck before I went. I lived in North Carolina for a year and a half, until [Edwards] lost the first few states and then dropped out just before Super Tuesday.
I worked at those places during law school. I knew I wanted to be out here in Colorado, so I came out here both summers. The first summer, I worked for former governor John Hickenlooper in the Office of Legal Counsel, and also at a law firm. It’s common in law school to split your summer between two internships, to let you get more experience. I divided my time between the public sector and the private sector. I decided law firms were not for me, but the public sector could be.
What bothered me more than anything else was how it would affect the staff. You could physically see it taking a toll on them. Right after the 2020 election, I mean, I’m a Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder, and I was on CNN, you know? That shouldn’t be happening. That happened because of the climate we were in. But the brighter my star shone, the worse my staff got it. And the more I faded from view, the better it was for them. And so that became a difficult calculus.
