Janet Turner

Candidate Bio

I moved to Colorado in 1999 after earning my occupational therapy degree in Massachusetts. For years, I’ve helped people regain independence and improve their quality of life through healthcare. That work taught me to listen closely, solve problems, and treat every person with dignity and respect.
In 2019, I became active in the Libertarian Party because I wanted to help shape Colorado’s future. Since then, I’ve served as Outreach Director for the Libertarian Party of El Paso County and Affiliates Director for the Libertarian Party of Colorado. In those roles, I’ve met people across the state, heard their concerns, and worked with dedicated volunteers who care deeply about their communities.
I’m running for the Colorado State Senate because I believe elected officials should be accessible, accountable, and willing to listen. Too many Coloradans feel unheard in the political process. I want to be a representative who shows up, stays approachable, and focuses on serving the people of my district.
Outside of politics, I enjoy meeting new people, building relationships, and finding practical solutions to real problems. I believe respectful conversations achieve more than partisan arguments, and I value honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility.
My goal is simple: represent my district with transparency, work hard for my constituents, and remember that public office is about serving people—not politicians or special interests.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I would be honored to earn your trust and serve our community in the Colorado State Senate.
