Dr. Gregory A. Thomas Announces Gubernatorial Campaign from Colorado State Prison:
Dr. Gregory A. Thomas Puts People Over Politics: “We Won’t Spend Another Dime Campaigning While Colorado Families Go Hungry.”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 29, 2025
Colorado First Campaign Launches Mobile Food Banks Across All 64 Counties
DENVER, CO — The Colorado First Campaign, led by Republican gubernatorial candidate Dr. Gregory A. Thomas, announced today a bold, statewide initiative to combat hunger by deploying mobile food banks in all 64 Colorado counties. The campaign has made the decision to pause nonessential campaign spending until the immediate needs of hungry families are met.
“Colorado First means people first,” said Dr. Thomas. “While others are arguing over headlines and polls, our neighbors are wondering where their next meal will come from. We won’t spend another dime campaigning when our families are hungry. That’s not politics — that’s principle.”
The initiative will mobilize campaign staffers, volunteers, and local community partners to deliver fresh produce, shelf-stable goods, and essentials directly to families in need — particularly in rural and underserved communities where access to affordable food has become a growing crisis.
The Colorado First mobile food banks will operate on a rotating county schedule beginning November 15, 2025, ensuring every Coloradan — from Denver to Delta, from Pueblo to the plains — has access to healthy, reliable food assistance before the holiday season.
“This campaign has always been about restoring dignity and humanity to governance,” said Carlos Ramirez, Director of Community Relations for Colorado First. “No one in our state should go to bed hungry while those with more than enough hoard resources to make a political point. We’re stepping up — not as politicians, but as Coloradans.”
Dr. Thomas’s decision underscores his commitment to service before self, turning campaign infrastructure into a vehicle for compassion, not competition.

Because at the end of the day, a campaign that forgets its people has already lost — and Colorado deserves better.

“Colorado First” Movement Aims to Redefine Leadership and Justice
In a historic and unprecedented move, Dr. Gregory A. Thomas has officially declared his candidacy for Governor of Colorado, launching a campaign built on bold ideas, unbreakable conviction, and a deep commitment to putting “Colorado First.”
Currently incarcerated in the Colorado Department of Corrections, Dr. Thomas’s candidacy challenges conventional notions of leadership and redemption. A respected author, educator, and community reform advocate, Dr. Thomas has spent his time behind the walls organizing mentorship programs, writing about justice and social healing, and empowering incarcerated men to transform their lives through knowledge, purpose, and discipline.
His campaign—rooted in the principles of Economic Empowerment, Education Reform, and Community Renewal—seeks to rebuild the social and moral infrastructure of Colorado from the ground up.
“This campaign isn’t about where I am—it’s about where we, as a people, can go,” said Dr. Thomas in a written statement. “Colorado has the potential to become a model of fairness, innovation, and humanity. I’m running to make sure we lead the nation in both progress and principle.”
Economic Empowerment: Dr. Thomas’s economic plan centers on community-based investment, small business growth, and state-backed training pipelines for returning citizens and working-class Coloradans. His goal is to make every Colorado household economically independent, not system-dependent.
Education Reform: Drawing from his background as an educator, Dr. Thomas is calling for a complete overhaul of the state’s education system—focusing on practical skill development, cultural literacy, and early financial education. His vision is to make Colorado the most intellectually prepared and self-sufficient state in the nation.
Community Renewal: The Thomas campaign emphasizes healing divided communities, addressing mass incarceration, and fostering unity through civic engagement and transformative justice initiatives.
“Leadership is not defined by location—it’s defined by vision, courage, and service,” Thomas added. “Even from within these walls, I’m committed to building bridges where others build barriers.”
With the slogan “Colorado First,” Dr. Thomas’s campaign is already gaining grassroots traction among citizens, educators, faith leaders, and reform advocates across the state who view his candidacy as a necessary disruption to traditional politics.
The Thomas for Colorado campaign will host virtual town halls, release policy outlines on their official website, and continue to engage communities across all 64 counties to discuss a new direction for Colorado governance—one that puts integrity, equity, and economic power back into the hands of the people.
