He will be a passionate and dedicated warrior for our nation and our shared conservative values.”

- Senator Cory Gardner

-Senator Wayne Allard

“Senator Sonnenberg has proven himself to be an advocate for his constituents with the character that CD4 expects. He is well suited to represent the families and small businesses along the west part of the district as well as those that produce the food, fiber and energy in the rural areas.”

- Senator Hank Brown

“Jerry Sonnenberg has been a great advocate for all of Colorado and especially for Eastern Colorado. When Jerry served in the Colorado Legislature, we as County Commissioners knew that Jerry would listen to our concerns and get answers. I support Jerry in his campaign to be our next representative for all of Colorado.”

— Tom Grasmick, Prowers County Commissioner

“It is with a great deal of pleasure that I endorse Jerry Sonnenberg for Congressional District Four. I have had the pleasure of working with Jerry for over 30 years through County and State Farm Bureau. I was also very pleased as Jerry represented my district as a State Representative and Senator. Jerry truly listens to his constituents and works tirelessly to represent their best interests. For the past year I have worked with him as a fellow County Commissioner. I really appreciate his leadership experience and common sense. Jerry truly believes in looking out for the best interests of the people he serves. We need many more just like him in Washington.”

Mike Brownell, Logan County Commissioner

“I could not think of another Public Service person more deserving and fitting to represent Rural Colorado, than Jerry Sonnenberg. I have worked with Jerry for over ten years.  He has been an advocate for Rural Colorado and the rural way of life, he has fought for our water rights, agriculture protections and for equality for the rural areas. Jerry will be an asset to all of Colorado in Washington, D.C, he will be the voice of reason but also the voice for true conservative values. I am proud to endorse Jerry Sonnenberg for House District 4, a true conservative and a true advocate for Rural America.”

Wendy Buxton-Andrade, Prowers County Commissioner

"I respect and appreciate the hard work Jerry Sonnenberg dedicated to bettering Colorado for all residents. Mr. Sonnenberg understands small rural communities and the value each small business brings to those communities. One of my most memorable moments was Mr. Sonnenberg's tireless work and dedication in helping Bent County protect their private prison. Regardless of one's feelings concerning incarceration, to Bent County our private prison represents 26% of our property tax base, and over 250 jobs. Those 250 jobs may seem minor, but it is the equivalent of over 24,000 jobs in Denver.  Mr. Sonnenberg understood that not only would the loss of our prison be beyond detrimental, but also that our predominantly agricultural county was suffering one of the worst drought conditions in history. Mr. Sonnenberg didn't just listen to our concerns, he worked diligently to help the citizens of our county sustain our loved way of life."

Jean Sykes, Bent County Commissioner

"I have admired Jerry for a long time on how he fights for rural Colorado. Jerry doesn't Go Along to Get Along and that is the only way to protect rural America from over reaching government.”

Cory Wall, Kit Carson County Commissioner

"I am proud and feel very grateful that Jerry Sonnenberg is running for Congressional District 4. Jerry is the best candidate for this elected position and I support Jerry Sonnenberg for Congressional District 4. With all of Jerry's experience with government policy making and decision capabilities for all of his constituents. Jerry has a strong background in Agriculture, being born and raised on a farm, therefore he will protect Agriculture and the businesses associated with Agriculture. Jerry has the knowledge, and he understands the importance of water, water rights and the different water decrees in the Colorado river basins. Jerry will protect Colorado's water and the value of our water. Therefore, I support Jerry Sonnenberg for Congressional District 4.”

Gordon Westhoff, Morgan County Commissioner

"With his whit and charm, he is able to break through barriers during uncomfortable and challenging conversations. Jerry’s patience to listen and tactfulness in speaking to his constituents makes his communication effective and gets their attention. Jerry’s experience at the local and state level will prove to be very beneficial at the federal level.”

Adam Gates, Yuma County Commissioner

“My friend, Jerry Sonnenberg, is the best candidate for CD4. Jerry was my State Representative, then my State Senator, and became my mentor when I was elected as State Representative. Jerry's knowledge in the district around agriculture, oil and gas, local government and rural country living are some of his greatest assets. He has a work ethic second to none. Jerry is a man of integrity and is highly respected by all. It is my honor to endorse Jerry Sonnenberg to be the next Congressman for CD4.”

Senator Rod Pelton

“I proudly endorse you for this congressional position that God has molded you for. Blessings on your campaign. Our rural community, not only in Eastern Colorado, but in the entire nation, will definitely benefit  from your experience and dedication.”

Wayne Ewing, Lincoln County Commissioner

"When things got tough, we always turned to Jerry because we knew he would stand on principle and wouldn't bend to Democratic legislators or high-powered lobbyists. Jerry is a conservative and is a man of his word, and that is why he has built such a strong record of success as a public servant.  I'm proud to stand with Jerry Sonnenberg in his run for Congress."

Frank McNulty, Former Speaker of the House and Colorado University Regent

“Jerry Sonnenberg knows the value of integrity and hard work – values sorely needed in Congress.  He is a principled, common-sense conservative whom Coloradans can count on to do what’s right.”

Mark Hillman, Kit Carson County Farmer, Former State Treasure, Former Majority Leader Colorado Senate

“I’ve had the honor to know and work with Jerry for over 20 years. He’s a man of integrity, faith, and conservative values. The last 8 years I served with him in the state senate and learned what it means to be a good statesman. Jerry is a true leader who has a servant’s heart. He is clearly the best choice to represent Congressional District 4.”

John Cooke, Former Senate Minority Leader and Weld County Sheriff

“Nothing speaks louder than reelection when considering the job performance of an elected official. Jerry Sonnenberg was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives four times and the Colorado Senate two times. Term limits ended his service in the Colorado Legislature and he was immediately elected Logan County Commissioner without opposition. He speaks up for his constituents and they know it! This Agriculture Hall of Fame recipient has been elected because he relentlessly speaks up for his constituents. He is considered an expert in Water and Natural Resource issues, including property rights, and spends the time an effort to reflect and consider the issues facing his district. Jerry is the only politician I've known that doesn't hide his cell phone number and answers it as well. I will unconditionally support Jerry Sonnenberg for the 4th Congressional District Office and urge the constituents of the 4th to do so as well.”

Don Ament, former Commissioner of Agriculture

“I have known Jerry Sonnenberg for many years and view him as being honest, forthright, and having integrity with strong political skills. I am delighted to endorse him in his run for Congress for the 4th District. I am confident Jerry will do what is right for his eastern Colorado constituency: he is conservative and wary of government control and intrusion in our lives; he is committed to our rural way of life and its critical role in food production, including protection of privately held water rights; and he is a coalition builder who listens to and then acts on input. I think highly of Jerry Sonnenberg and wish him well in his quest for the Republican nomination for the 4th Congressional seat.”

Pat Grant, former Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Nation Western Stock Show

"Jerry Sonnenberg, backed by four generations of conservative convictions, will support and sustain the people of eastern Colorado.  Your values are his values. Jerry is your best District 4 choice to send to Washington, D.C."

Rev. Dr. John Roberts

“I think Jerry Sonnenberg is the right candidate for Congress for District 4.  He is a proven leader and a strong voice for agriculture and small businesses because he has one himself.  He knows what it takes to succeed and he will fight for what is right.”

- Dale Mauch, 4th generation farmer and rancher in Prowers County.


“We need experienced leaders like Jerry Sonnenberg in congress, someone who has roots in the congressional district and always listens to the people he represents. Jerry proved he's an exceptional leader, with his 16 years experience in the Colorado legislature protecting our rural way of life. Please join me in endorsing Jerry Sonnenberg for Congress.”

- Byron H Pelton, State Senator, Senate District 1

“The eastern central plains of Colorado, of which I represent, has a substantial agricultural influence and huge water sustainability issues. The congressman who represent this area needs to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of these issues in order to adequately represent this area of the state. That is why I'm endorsing Senator Jerry Sonnenberg for CD4. After numerous conversations with ranchers and farmers in my district, he was perceived to be the best choice for this part of the state.”

- Representative Rod Bockenfeld, House District 56

“Jerry is a proven leader who has used his lifetime of experience as an ag producer to represent the rural values of eastern Colorado. I have had the honor of working with Jerry both as my fellow legislator, and now a county commissioner, where he has demonstrated principled leadership and a servant's heart for the people he represents.  It is exactly this kind of rock-ribbed conservatism and rural expertise that we need representing us in Washington.”

- Kevin J Grantham, Fremont County Commissioner and Former Colorado Senate President

“Washington is broken: too many show horses, not enough work horses. America needs more performance and fewer performances. Jerry has been delivering hard work and results for his constituents for almost 20 years in the state legislature, and he will continue to do just that in Washington.”

- Rob Witwer, Former Colorado Representative and Co-Author of The Blueprint

“As a former Colorado State Senator, I would like to endorse Jerry Sonnenberg for the position of federal Representative for CD-4. I served with Sen. Sonnenberg for several years in the state senate, and found him to be a very capable and honorable servant of the people for this state and do believe that he will represent all the people at the federal level regardless of their political affiliation. Coming from a multi-generational agriculture family, he understands the issues that affect the region and also understands the issues that affect suburbanites. His conservative values are well grounded and his outlook and caring for people make him an ideal candidate for this federal position. I also believe he is the most capable level headed candidate to bring people together on issues that affect the entire nation.”

- Larry Crowder, Former Colorado State Senator

“We have known Senator Sonnenberg for decades and his unflinching  support of his constituent base whether he is serving as a citizen, Commissioner, Representative, or Senator is a positive trait which is rarely seen.  He will make an excellent Congressman as his values align with Northeastern Colorado's and having served in many leadership roles he possesses the necessary skills and experience to be effective without compromising his values.”

- Peg and Don Brown, former Commissioner of Agriculture

“Jerry has proven to be an exceptional Representative and State Senator for rural Colorado. His knowledge of water, transportation and awareness of his district's needs have been tirelessly championed at the State Capitol.  His ability to work with, and educate, other legislators to advocate on behalf of his constituents is one of his outstanding leadership qualities. Colorado and Colorado's 4th Congressional District will best be served by Jerry Sonnenberg.”

- Mark Arndt, Morgan County Commissioner

“I am happy to endorse Jerry Sonnenberg for Congress as he is a proven conservative leader that understands rural Colorado and is a statesman who will be able to make a difference in Congress for the citizens of Congressional District 4.”

- Lola Spradley, small business owner and former Speaker of the Colorado House

"I believe Senator Jerry Sonnenberg has the political experience to best represent the 4th Congressional District of Colorado on the issues that are important to its citizens. Those issues are uncontrollable US Debt, immigration, investment in rural America, US energy inflation, and a strong commitment to US Agriculture.”

- Keith W DeVoe, Weld County

“Jerry Sonnenberg is the trusted conservative we need in CD4.  He will insist on a secure border, hold the line on spending so that inflation doesn't come roaring back and always protect our Second Amendment rights.  Jerry has my complete and total endorsement.”

- Greg Brophy, Farmer in Yuma County and Former State Senator

“Jerry Sonnenberg has unselfishly represented the people of Eastern Colorado for many years. His representation is based not only on conservative principles but more importantly based on morality, virtue and responsibility. Qualities that most or the citizens of rural Colorado possess and expect from those that represent us. I've known Jerry for over 20 years in my role as a board member of Colorado Wheat and he has faithfully and passionately fought for us in agriculture against an ever increasing divide of rural and urban demographic. Jerry has tirelessly worked to bridge that divide with patience and civility and I believe he has succeeded in educating our urban cousins about our lifestyle and need to preserve it. I believe Jerry would continue to represent us with passion and principle in the U.S. Congress.”

- Mark Linnebur, Byers, CO

“Jerry Sonnenberg performed well in the debate and showed part of why I support him. He does the work we elect people for. He doesn't talk and seek media, he's not a lightning rod. He works. And he listens. As a state senator and now county commissioner, he has consistently been responsive to me and my guess is many other constituents.”

- Cory Gaines, Colorado Accountability Project

“Nothing speaks louder than reelection when considering the job performance of an elected official. Jerry Sonnenberg was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives four times and the Colorado Senate two times.
