Democrats Elizabeth Velasco and Cole Buerger of Glenwood Springs are running in the June 28 primary for the Colorado House of Representatives’ District 57.
The winner in the primary will challenge Republican incumbent Perry Will of New Castle in the November election.
Aspen Public Radio is speaking with the candidates from both parties this week and next.
Today’s interview is with Democratic candidate Elizabeth Velasco, who has worn many hats in the community over the years.

She is trained as a wildland firefighter and worked as a public information officer on the Sylvan fire near Eagle last summer.
Velasco now runs her own language-services company based in Glenwood Springs. (Her company, for the record, provides translation and interpretation services to Aspen Public Radio.)
Aspen Public Radio talked with Velasco to learn more about her campaign.
Listen to the conversation above.
