Denver, CO - In an era when politics too often feels like theater and compassion takes a backseat to ambition, Dr. Gregory A. Thomas, a man whose story defies convention and whose conviction transcends party lines, has officially launched his Colorado First campaign for Governor - a movement that is already rewriting the rules of modern politics.

From a prison cell to the people's platform, Dr. Thomas's journey is a living testament to redemption, resilience, and reform. His candidacy is not just historic - it's revolutionary. A political outsider with the heart of a servant and the fire of a reformer, Dr. Thomas is calling for a full reset of Colorado's priorities: people first, politics last.

A Movement Rooted in Humanity, Not Headlines

The Colorado First campaign isn't just another political operation - it's a moral movement. Built on integrity, empathy, and transparency, Dr. Thomas's vision goes beyond partisan divides to restore faith in leadership itself. His message is clear and cutting: "If we can't feed our people, we don't deserve their vote."

In an unprecedented act of leadership and humility, Dr. Thomas announced that his campaign will suspend all political spending until Colorado families are fed. Every dollar that could have gone to television ads, billboards, or political consultants will instead be redirected to real, tangible relief for Coloradans in need.

Starting November 15th, 2025, the Colorado First Mobile Food Bank Initiative will roll out across all 64 counties, ensuring that no Coloradan goes hungry this holiday season. The initiative will deploy fully equipped mobile units delivering food, hygiene products, and essential supplies directly to communities struggling under the weight of inflation, stagnant wages, and government inaction.

This isn't charity - it's leadership.

"Politics has lost its soul," Dr. Thomas said in a statement. "I'm not here to win an election. I'm here to win back our humanity. Colorado First means no family gets left behind. Not in Denver, not in Durango, not in Delta. Until we fix what's broken in our communities, we have no business asking for votes."

10,000 Volunteers and Counting - A Grassroots Army with a Purpose

Since the soft launch of the Colorado First campaign earlier this month, the response has been electric. Over 10,000 volunteers - from ranchers in the San Luis Valley to single mothers in Colorado Springs - have signed up to support what they see as a once-in-a-lifetime movement.

Campaign offices are being set up not as command centers, but as community empowerment hubs, where Coloradans can access resources, share ideas, and take part in shaping their state's future.

Carlos Ramirez, the campaign's Director of Community Relations, said, "This isn't politics as usual. These are people who've had enough - enough of broken promises, enough of politicians using them as props. Dr. Thomas has given them a cause they can believe in. And when the people move, power moves with them."

A Historic Run with a Global Message

Dr. Gregory A. Thomas's candidacy is already being hailed as one of the most significant in American political history. As one of the first incarcerated individuals to mount a legitimate gubernatorial campaign, Dr. Thomas's run challenges the very notion of what leadership looks like - and who gets to claim it.

His platform centers on economic empowerment, justice reform, family restoration, and moral leadership. But his vision reaches beyond Colorado's borders. It's a statement to the nation - and to the world - that democracy still belongs to the people, not the powerful.

"Leadership shouldn't be caged," Dr. Thomas has often said. "A title doesn't make a leader; conviction does. And no wall, no label, no political gatekeeper can stop a movement whose time has come."

His supporters agree. For them, Thomas represents something America hasn't seen in a long time: authenticity. A man unafraid to tell the truth, to expose corruption, and to hold even himself accountable.

In a political climate dominated by cynicism, Thomas's message is startlingly simple - and refreshingly pure: Lead with love, act with courage, and never forget the people who sent you there.

The Colorado Challenge: People Before Politics

In his latest campaign address, Dr. Thomas issued a direct challenge to every other candidate in the 2026 gubernatorial race - and to every elected official in Colorado:

"Suspend your spending. Join us in feeding Colorado. Forget the polls, forget the ads, forget the endorsements. The true measure of leadership isn't found in political contributions - it's found in contribution to humanity. Let's stop campaigning for power and start campaigning for people."

The challenge struck a chord across the state. Within hours, community groups, small businesses, churches, and advocacy organizations began reaching out, eager to collaborate on the food bank rollout.

The campaign is partnering with local farmers, logistics companies, and food producers to ensure the initiative remains sustainable. The first wave of mobile food units will launch from Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Grand Junction, and Fort Collins, creating a statewide network of compassion in motion.

A Governor for the People - Not the Party

Unlike most candidates, Dr. Thomas is not running on ideology - he's running on humanity. His Colorado First agenda includes:
• Eliminating the State Income Tax to give working families real relief.
• Expanding Economic Empowerment Programs for small business owners and entrepreneurs.
• Reforming Criminal Justice and Reentry Systems to restore dignity and purpose to all Coloradans.
• Investing in Rural Communities long neglected by state leadership.
• Protecting Democracy through transparent governance and community accountability.

But more than policy, his campaign is rooted in a simple belief: Colorado is family - and family looks out for each other.

"Colorado First isn't a slogan," Dr. Thomas said. "It's a covenant. A promise that every decision, every policy, every dollar will put Coloradans first - not corporations, not political parties, not special interests."

The Future of Politics Starts in Colorado

Dr. Gregory A. Thomas's campaign represents more than a run for governor - it represents the birth of a new era in American politics. One where compassion is strength, service is strategy, and leadership is measured not by what you gain, but by what you give.

As the Colorado First campaign gains momentum, the nation is watching. Because what begins in Colorado may well redefine what it means to lead in the 21st century.

"Colorado has always been a state of pioneers," Thomas said. "This time, we're pioneering a new kind of politics - one built on truth, heart, and humanity. And we're inviting every Coloradan to join us in making history."
