Jessica Peck with the OGI commented that the group might be interested in working with some of the grassroots groups who may have interests in local government issues for the surrounding metro area governments. Lynn Bartels (Denver Post) commented on the changes in coverage that the news media can accomplish for the metro area over the last 20 years. Activists and the grassroots organizations are very important to ensuring that governments remain open and accountable to the citizens.
Kelly Maher accepted the award on behalf of Colorado Peak Politics. The author(s) behind this commentary source remains anonymous.
Regan Benson thanked the mentors and assured that she would remain involved in holding school districts (such as Jefferson County) accountable.
Rep. Libby Szabo accepted her award and promised to continue her efforts in the legislature.
Tyler Hart, president of the current class of Leadership Program of the Rockies, expressed interest in what Randy Corporon is doing with Arapahoe County Tea Party.
There were a lot of competing events so the turnout may have been smaller than expected.
