Christian’s Priorities

El Paso County and Colorado Springs are becoming more expensive, while wages stay flat and working families struggle to keep up. Christian Seale is running for County Commissioner to change that—to make our county more affordable, more fair, and more focused on the people who live and work here. His platform offers a clear path forward: bold investments in childcare, housing, public safety, and infrastructure that improve quality of life without raising taxes. It’s time for a government that helps families get ahead—not just get by.

Christian will fight to restore our residents access to the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program, increase the supply of affordable housing, strengthen consumer protections, and raise the minimum wage —because no one should be priced out of their own community.

✔ Make Life More Affordable

✔ Reimagine Public Safety with Care & Prevention

By investing in mental health care, youth focused programs, homelessness outreach, and disaster readiness, Christian will build a safer county through compassion—not just enforcement.

✔ Champion For Working Families

Christian supports fare-free public transit for students and workers, paid for childcare for low income families, and raising the county’s minimum wage to $17.65—because honest workers deserve fair wages that allow everyone to care for their families.

Public Safety

Christian Seale believes public safety isn’t just about responding to emergencies—it’s about preventing harm before it happens. That means investing in mental health care, youth opportunity, homelessness prevention, and climate resilience. These modern, community-centered solutions make El Paso County safer for everyone. Christian’s approach will expand what public safety means—while keeping our Sheriff’s resources and capabilities intact. With smart budgeting and targeted use of Public Safety Sales Tax (PSST) funds, we can keep every resident safe and secure.

Immigration

Christian Seale condemns the overreach of the federal government’s immigration policies and the violent, militarized raids that have been conducted in our communities and our neighborhoods. These actions destabilize families, spread fear, and disrupt the social fabric of El Paso County, Colorado Springs, and beyond. They also represent a fundamental failure to respect the rights of local residents and the autonomy of local government.

Education & Childcare

Education & Childcare

Christian will fight to fully restore access to child care assistance across El Paso County by creating a locally sustained fund to cover gaps left by state-level Colorado Child Care Assistance Program rollbacks, paid for through the reallocation of millions of routinely and wastefully unspent funds. This will ensure that working parents — especially in lower-income households — can afford reliable care and return to the workforce with confidence. Child care is not just a family issue; it’s an economic one.
