Duane Gurule
for Colorado State
Senate District 35

Duane Gurule is running for Colorado State Senate to bring a new generation of leadership—and innovative solutions—to rural Colorado.

​

Raised in Southeast Colorado, Duane understands the challenges rural communities face because he’s lived them. From experiencing housing instability as a child to serving today as Mayor of Rocky Ford, his life has been defined by resilience, hard work, and a commitment to fighting for others.

​

Duane has built a track record of delivering results. As Mayor, he’s worked to strengthen the local economy and move his community forward. As a technology professional and nonprofit founder, he’s created opportunities in places often overlooked—proving that even with limited resources, real solutions are possible.

​

He believes rural Colorado needs more than talk—it needs leadership willing to fight for smarter, forward-thinking solutions on affordability, water, healthcare, and economic growth.

​

Duane isn’t just talking about change—he’s been doing the work.

​

Now, he’s ready to take that fight to the State Capitol and deliver real results for communities across Senate District 35.
