Episode 79: Daniel Frick

🎙️ TUXES & TOMAHAWKS — EPISODE #79 🇺🇸 DANIEL FRICK: "JUST FRICKIN' COMMON SENSE" Colorado politics could use a little less political theater and a hell of a lot more common sense. On Episode #79 of Tuxes & Tomahawks, we sit down with Daniel Frick, candidate for Colorado House District 53, Air Force veteran, former contractor in Afghanistan, father, caregiver, and a guy who decided complaining about the system wasn't enough. He decided to step into the fight. Daniel's campaign is focused on something working families across Colorado understand firsthand: life has gotten too damn expensive. Housing. Groceries. Utilities. Insurance. Taxes. Fees. Families are working harder, paying more, and wondering why it feels like they keep falling further behind. We get into all of it. Daniel talks about why he decided to run, what military service taught him about leadership, his experience overseas in Afghanistan, and how raising a family and navigating Colorado's Medicaid and mental-health systems helped shape the candidate he is today. Then we get into the fights waiting for him in Denver: 🇺🇸 Bringing down the cost of living ⚖️ Putting victims back at the center of the justice system 🏠 Making Colorado affordable for working families 👨‍👩‍👧 Protecting parental rights 🎓 Getting education focused back on education 🧠 Fixing broken Medicaid and mental-health bureaucracy 🔫 Defending the Second Amendment 💰 Protecting taxpayers and TABOR 🏛️ Bringing accountability and common sense back to the State Capitol We also talk about something bigger than one election. Why would an ordinary person willingly jump into politics? Maybe because representative government was never supposed to belong exclusively to professional politicians. Sometimes the people who have actually served, worked, raised families, paid the bills, dealt with broken government systems, and lived with the consequences of bad policy are exactly the people we need stepping forward. Daniel calls it: "Just Frickin' Common Sense." We call it one hell of a conversation. 🥃 Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for Episode #79 of Tuxes & Tomahawks.
