As a progressive organization committed to equity, sustainability, and community well‑being, IndivisibleNOCO is proud to endorse Shane Atkinson for Larimer County Commissioner. Shane has already demonstrated a deep commitment to public service through his work as Larimer County’s Legislative Coordinator, where he has helped residents navigate complex challenges from housing instability to wildfire recovery, while advocating for county needs at the state and federal levels. His earlier service as a constituent advocate for Rep. Joe Neguse further reflects his dedication to helping people in moments of crisis and ensuring government works for everyone.

Shane’s platform aligns strongly with core progressive values. He champions affordable housing, accessible healthcare, and smart, sustainable growth. These issues directly impact working families, rural communities, and historically marginalized residents. His background as an educator in cultural anthropology and human rights gives him a justice‑centered lens that is urgently needed in county leadership. Shane understands that Larimer County’s future depends on thoughtful planning, environmental stewardship, and policies that uplift all residents, not just those with the most resources.

​

Progressive leaders across Colorado have recognized Shane’s integrity, compassion, and readiness to lead, and we join them in supporting his candidacy. He brings a rare combination of policy expertise, community experience, and moral clarity - qualities that will strengthen Larimer County during a time of rapid growth and rising inequality. We believe Shane Atkinson is the right choice for progressives who want a county government rooted in fairness, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to the public good.
