Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Edwardo Quinonez is a proud Coloradan, community advocate, and independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District.

Edwardo is running for Congress because he believes our community deserves leadership that puts people over party — leadership that listens, shows up, and works across differences to deliver real solutions.

Rooted in Community

Colorado’s 6th District — from Aurora to Centennial and surrounding neighborhoods — is home to working families, small business owners, veterans, seniors, students, and newcomers who all contribute to the strength of our state. Edwardo understands that the challenges facing our district are not political talking points — they are everyday realities.

Rising costs of living, access to affordable healthcare, support for small businesses and trucking owner-operators, public safety, quality education, and protecting Colorado’s clean air and water are issues that directly impact our families.

Edwardo believes representation means being present — not just during election season, but every day.

Why Independent?

Edwardo is running as an independent because he answers to the people of Colorado’s 6th District — not party leadership, not political insiders, and not special interests.

He believes:

Solutions require collaboration, not partisan brinkmanship.

Fiscal responsibility and community investment can go hand in hand.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and deserve real support

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Hardworking families in our district are currently facing unprecedented soaring costs of everyday essentials. We must commit ourselves to bold, common-sense solutions that lower prices at the pump and the grocery store, ensuring that a person's paycheck actually covers their prosperity rather than just their survival.Every citizen shouldn't have to fear a medical bill more than a medical diagnosis! We must break down the financial barriers that force families into debt for life-saving treatments, ensuring that the quality of your care is not dictated by your bank account.We must empower our small business owners and stand behind our independent trucking owner-operators by supporting their growth, cutting the confusing paperwork, lowering their daily costs, and making it easier for them to do the honest work that keeps our district running.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We will raise the quality of education by returning to the core essentials of reading and math, protecting our tax dollars from waste, and ending the cycle of school closures. We will empower our teachers by restoring the professional authority they need to lead their classrooms and inspire our students to succeed
