Family History: A Tradition of Service and Independence
Family History: A Tradition of Service and Independence
Jon comes from a patriotic American lineage shaped by public service and the belief that freedom requires responsibility.
His family history includes early American roots connected to the Revolutionary War era, including an ancestor tied to the 1777 Battle of Saratoga — a major turning point in America’s fight for independence that helped shift the course of the war.
Jon is also descended from Jacob Collamer, a respected Vermont statesman remembered for principled leadership and a deep dedication to the rule of law. Collamer served as a Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court, a U.S. Senator, and Postmaster General under President Zachary Taylor (12th President of the United States). He was widely admired for his integrity and careful judgment, earning the nickname “The Green Mountain Socrates.”
That tradition of public service and integrity is a major reason Jon believes in clean government, transparency, and leadership that puts citizens first. Colorado deserves leaders who serve — not rulers who control.

Colorado Service: Carrying the Collamer Tradition Forward
Today, Jon Collamer carries that same tradition of service into Colorado — not as a career politician, but as a citizen committed to helping people and strengthening communities.
Jon has spent years working directly with real-world challenges facing everyday Coloradans: the rising cost of housing, lack of access to mental health support, isolation, and systems that feel confusing, broken, or out of reach. His work and life experience have taught him that real leadership isn’t about power — it’s about presence, responsibility, and showing up when people need help.
That is why Jon often speaks of his connection to Jacob Collamer — and why the image of Jon serving the people of Colorado beneath a statue of Jacob Collamer matters. It represents something bigger than politics: a reminder that public service is a responsibility, not a privilege, and that leadership must be rooted in integrity, courage, and love of country.
Jon’s mission is simple: serve the people, clean up government, and rebuild Colorado with common sense, transparency, and results.
