Delta County 2026 Local Elections Questionnaire
Restore the Balance Delta sent a questionnaire to all candidates in our local competitive elections for County Coroner, County Clerk, County Commissioner, and Sheriff. We are grateful for the thoughtful responses received from County Coroner candidate Jillian Deneau, County Clerk candidate Renee Warner, County Commissioner candidate Nathan Clay, and Sheriff candidates Quinn Archibeque, Jim Lester, and Demetri Stelter. Unfortunately, we did not receive responses from Matt Soper (County Commissioner), Lance Boren (County Coroner), Jolene George (County Treasurer), Brittany Kuhn (County Assessor), or Larry Don Suckla (Colorado House District 58), so we cannot comment on their qualifications for office.
We rated the respondents, Jillian Deneau, Renee Warner, Nathan Clay, Quinn Archibeque, Jim Lester, and Demetri Stelter, based upon aligning with Restore the Balance's principles, putting public interest ahead of party, holding appropriate qualifications for the office they are seeking, and grasping the issues facing Western Colorado. We found each scored highly and that they appear to be anti-extremist candidates who would put their duties and constituents above party or partisanship.
