"As an association director, officer, and ultimately chairman of the board, I worked closely with Chris over a six-year period.  During his tenure as president, he cut expenses, restructured operations, and grew the organization to record levels of membership and profitability.  Chris demonstrated remarkable ability to manage-to-budget regardless of market conditions.  He knows how to make tough decisions and he knows the joy of helping others grow and prosper.  I know that Chris will represent the people of House District 44 with excellence and I encourage you to please support his campaign."

"Having principled positions is not about winning or losing. Having principled
  positions is about holding to those positions regardless of the outcome."

Chris Holbert is president of The Earn Principle, LLC, where he provides consulting services to non-profit organizations in the areas of profitability and effective advocacy. Mr. Holbert also provides political campaign management and candidate messaging services, having successfully managed the victorious four-person conservative slate for Douglas County Board of Education.


Prior to establishing his own company, Chris served as president of a statewide trade association where he fulfilled the duties of executive director and spokesperson representing over 6,000 businesspeople in Colorado. Chris led that association to record profitability and membership by encouraging staff to deliver value through education, administration, representation, and networking, the basis of "The EARN Principle" for non-profit organizations.


Chris has been involved in federal and state legislative and regulatory matters pertaining to the real estate industry since 1992, and in the automobile industry during the preceding seven years.  From Denver to Washington, D.C., Mr. Holbert has advocated with success within the executive and legislative branches of government.

 

Mr. Holbert has a proven track record of value delivery, bottom line profitability, effective communications, and principled representation. Both Democrats and Republicans in the Colorado General Assembly, and members of the Colorado Congressional delegation, have praised Chris’ principled, respectful, and informed advocacy based on truth and accountability.

 

Public speaking is Chris’ passion.  He has spent countless hours educating people throughout Colorado about the two-year election cycle, caucus system, and how to affect positive change.  Author of a blog article titled,The Independent Myth,” Chris seeks opportunities to share with Colorado voters how being registered as "unaffiliated" makes one completely dependent on the very parties they wish to avoid.

 

Married in 1986, Chris and Diane Holbert are parents of two sons: Victor (15) and Carson (11).  Chris enjoys bow hunting and has climbed 39 of the 54 “14’ers” in Colorado.
