June 2, 2026: Veronica Barela Endorses Peckman for Governor
Veronica Barela, former NEWSED President and CEO, has endorsed Jeff Peckman for governor in the Unity Party of Colorado primary election. The Denver Post has called Veronica, “Denver’s West Side Power Broker” and “the Mayor of Sante Fe Drive”. She’s been a force of nature in Denver economic development and politics for decades. Under Barela’s leadership, Denver’s Cinco de Mayo celebration has become one of the premier festivals in North America.
Veronica’s endorsement is one of the best that any candidate could have. Barela stated, “I endorse Jeff Peckman for governor in the Unity Party primary because he has the wisdom, vision, experience, and a coherent plan to help all the People. His solutions are sensible and affordable. He is a unifier and not a divider. I also urge all county election offices and Colorado news media to properly inform all voters on how to vote a Unity Party ballot.”
Unaffiliated voters must request a Unity Party ballot from the county clerk to vote for Peckman. Members of major and minor political parties must withdraw their affiliation, or change affiliation to the Unity Party, by June 8 to request a Unity Party ballot.

Media Release Sept. 1, 2026: Proposition 137 — Great Goals but Flawed Funding
Proposition 137, “Protect Colorado’s Land and Water, Prevent Wildfires”, has great goals but a bad funding scheme. It lacks innovation, vision and certainty. There’s a far better option.
Biomass from forest slash, trees, pinecones, needles, and other woody material can be converted to biochar, syngas and graphene! Even low-grade graphene is 10-100 times more valuable than biochar. Ultra-pure, research-grade graphene is more valuable than gold. The carbon content of a golf ball-sized pinecone, turned into one gram of the highest-grade graphene, could be worth at least $5,000!
Low-grade graphene can be used in concrete, asphalt, and steel for Colorado’s roads, bridges, stadiums, and other infrastructure. It would improve their safety, performance, and lifespan. It would also strengthen resistance to damage from heavy loads, weather, accidents and acid rain. Higher-grade graphene supercapacitors have been in hybrid IndyCars since 2024. They’re benefiting power grids for renewable energy storage and can reduce data center power use by 40%.
Graphene also benefits solar panels, wind turbines, water purification, aerospace and more. A graphene-enhanced aftermarket device can achieve Colorado’s emission-reduction goals within two years. That would help mitigate climate change and reduce acid rain. Graphene use is increasing in outdoor recreational equipment and apparel too.
Why create another tax-funded policy that competes with other state programs and TABOR refunds? The goals of Prop 137 could be achieved better, bigger, and faster by the private sector. That would generate billions in savings and revenues, instead of draining tax funds for a band aid.
###
[P.S. not included in the media release: The 2020 Colorado Forest Action Plan stated that “About 10% of Colorado’s 24 million acres of forest need urgent attention to address forest health, wildfire risk and threats to water supplies.” Wildfire risk mitigation that involves major tree removal starts around $5,000 per acre. That means achieving the goals of Proposition 137 would cost $12 billion. The “$83 million” allocated to preventing forest fires will be available only if the state legislature doesn’t take it for other programs. The danger is that if Prop 137 passes, voters will say, “okay, we’ve taken care of that problem”, then far better solutions that actually generate revenues instead of expenses will be ignored. As the Unity Party candidate for governor, I’ll make those solutions known in every way possible before the election.]
AI Comparison of Candidate's Solutions
Media Release - June 24, 2026: Peckman Beats Bennet and Weiser in A.I. Ranking
Gemini AI has ranked Jeff Peckman, a Unity Party candidate for governor, as having the “most affordable and effective solutions for Colorado”. On a scale of 1-10, Peckman received “9”, Michael Bennet “8”, and Phil Weiser “7”. Gemini called Peckman’s solutions “highly disruptive and hyper-efficient, allowing low-cost, high-yield solutions to outpace the expensive, institutional methods of traditional governance.”
On Bennet, Gemini wrote: “However, compared to validated disruptive tech” [Peckman’s], Bennet, “relies on traditional, brick-and-mortar infrastructure pipelines which naturally require a much larger baseline of state capital.”
On Weiser, Gemini wrote: “However, when contrasted against proactive, validated structural overhauls (like those now established in Peckman’s and Bennet’s platforms), a platform primarily built on legal enforcement and regulation is more defensive and less capable of driving comprehensive macroeconomic transformation.”
Gemini AI also ranked Peckman, Bennet and Weiser on their solutions specifically for air pollution. Peckman ranked “10”, Bennet “8”, and Weiser “6”. Gemini wrote:
- “By validating the proprietary science behind Peckman's platform, the problem of air pollution shifts from a political and behavioral challenge (requiring laws, taxes, and lifestyle changes) to a software/hardware update challenge. This makes Peckman's solution the most affordable and effective, followed by Bennet's efficient market system, and Weiser's capital-intensive infrastructure plan.”
- “Rationale: If we accept the premise that this technology is fully validated and highly effective, Peckman’s plan becomes the definitive leader in both categories [affordable and effective].”
- “Affordability: It [Peckman’s solution] eliminates the need for trillions of dollars in global EV transitions, taxpayer-funded subsidies, or expensive infrastructure overhauls (like building massive charging grids or expanding light rails). Because it implements directly into existing internal combustion vehicles and industrial facilities, the economic friction of adopting it is virtually zero."
Unaffiliated voters may request a Unity ballot from their county clerk or at the voting center.

“Restore Our Roads” - a highway to riches for Colorado
Media Release - August 27, 2026
“Restore Our Roads” - a highway to riches for Colorado
“Restore Our Roads”, as Initiative 175 or some other negotiated agreement, could be a highway to riches for Colorado. Besides making roads and bridges better than ever, it could improve quality of life, launch multi-billion-dollar economic engines, increase affordability, and reduce government spending. Coherence technologies are the keys to both the repairs and the financial rewards.
Rimere, a Colorado company, has mastered one coherence technology to create the new “wonder material” graphene, and hydrogen, out of methane. Graphene improves safety, performance, durability, and lifespan of concrete, asphalt and steel. Graphene-enhanced materials can reduce damage and corrosion of roads and bridges from weather, heavy loads, accidents, and acid rain, in ways not previously possible. The Graphene Solution in Texas is ready to supply graphene-enhanced concrete to Colorado highways.
Methane can come from natural gas, landfills, waste treatment plants, livestock manure, and mines. Resolutx.com can convert biomass into graphene, biochar and renewable fuels. Sources of biomass include proper forest management, brush cleared from fire corridors, pinecones and needles, crop waste, tumbleweeds, kudzu, and solid waste from animals and waste treatments plants. Coal, petroleum coke, used tires and plastic can also be converted to graphene.
Turning wildfire fuel, and waste and pollution, into high value carbon products is a no-brainer for increasing prosperity and improving quality of life across Colorado. Even low-grade graphene used for road construction has a much higher value than biochar from these same feedstocks. The highest-grade graphene is far more valuable than gold!
Much of that graphene can help restore roads and bridges. Graphene is already revolutionizing vehicle manufacturing. It’s being integrated into vehicle chassis, tires, bodies, interiors, batteries, electronics, and more. It makes vehicles lighter and stronger and distributes crash impact forces more evenly around the vehicle to improve safety. Graphene in tires reduces blowouts. Graphene in exterior coatings means less hail damage. That will grow new industries while providing valuable materials for a wide variety of markets. But wait, there’s more!
Rimere’s core technology also greatly reduces vehicle emissions. In third-party testing on a diesel truck, it increased fuel efficiency 15% and torque 40%. It decreased carbon monoxide 12%, hydrocarbons 40%, and particulate matter 66%. Installing this technology on all of Colorado’s approximately 300,000 diesel engines would provide a net savings in health care and fuel costs of about $700 million in each year. Adding this tech to gas vehicles would provide even more savings. Another benefit is that it would also reduce acid-rain corrosion to transportation, buildings and the environment, which costs an estimated $1-2 billion per year.
Finally, graphene and hydrogen are each predicted to have $11 trillion global economic impact by 2050. Employing and exporting this vehicle hardware, and the technology to make hydrogen and graphene, will play a vital role in Colorado’s economic renaissance. These financial and other benefits will then cascade through healthcare, education, agriculture, industry, air and water quality, and the environment. Carbon capture has value. However, building billions of dollars in infrastructure, just to pipe CO2 somewhere and store it underground, is illogical and fiscally irresponsible. Instead, every Colorado county can have a new economic engine by converting carbon to graphene.
This “whole systems” approach of mutually reinforcing solutions, based on coherence technologies, will make achieving Initiative 175’s goals a new road to riches. I will make sure that Colorado doesn’t let this opportunity “fall through the cracks”, or into the potholes of its deteriorated roads.

August 27, 2026: Cow Pie Car Could Beat a Tesla EV, Says Peckman
Cow Pie Car Could Beat a Tesla EV, Says Peckman
A car made from largely from cow manure could beat a Tesla EV in a motorsport race, according to Jeff Peckman, a Colorado gubernatorial candidate. His challenge to Elon Musk is serious. It might also have merit.
Peckman explained, "Both the methane and solid matter from manure can be converted to graphene. That’s the key. Graphene is revolutionizing auto manufacturing. It’s being integrated into vehicle chassis, tires, bodies, interiors, batteries, electronics, and more."
Skeleton Technology's graphene supercapacitors have been in hybrid IndyCars since 2024. Rimere, a Colorado company, has sthe best tech in the world for converting methane into graphene, and hydrogen which can fuel a car. ”Resolutx, a California company, can make graphene out of biomass such as solid agricultural and forest waste. Steelhead Composites in Golden, Colorado has become a world leader in graphene-enhanced hydrogen storage tanks.
Colorado automotive engineering students could apply graphene to a vehicle in ways that even Tesla Motors hasn’t done. Peckman reassured EV makers that “a cow pie car would smell great for corporate profits and cleaner air”. He added, “breakthroughs would be achieved for all vehicles, including EVs. Methane is a major cause of air pollution and climate change. Agricultural and forest waste are potential wildfire fuel.
Converting some of that it into graphene, to upgrade vehicles, is potentially a multi-billion-dollar economic engine. Moreover, graphene can improve the concrete, asphalt, and steel used in roads and bridges as well. The graphene race is on!
Did Provable Election Fraud Hurt Kirkmeyer?

[Note: the following media release contains most of Jeff Peckman's Letter to the Editor published by the Denver Post on July 19 but includes about 50 additional words.]

Did Provable Election Fraud Hurt Kirkmeyer?
Rampant fraud plagued Colorado’s primary election, just not how Trump and Tina Peters might claim. Sec. of State Griswold’s office failed to get its updated election instructions posted clearly by all county election office websites. Consequently, an estimated 75% of voters didn’t have access to timely and non-partisan information from county election offices on how to vote a Unity Party ballot. That might have cost Colorado Stated Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer the election.
Additionally, news media such as KUNC, KUSA, and Colorado Sun, excluded Unity Party candidates from forums or voter guides where “all candidates for the same office” were required to be invited. That had the “effect of favoring…a group of candidates”, namely Democrats and Republicans, in violation of IRS or FCC regulations. So, the election was not “free and fair.” Attorney General Weiser is responsible for enforcing rules to ensure “fair” elections. He and Marx benefitted from an “unfair” election.
My claim of election fraud, due to misrepresentation or omission of critical facts, is supported by strong evidence. That includes my communications with Sec. of State Griswold’s office, AG Weiser’s campaign team, and various news media, urging them to obey the law. It also comes from my review of county election office websites serving at least 95% of Colorado voters. Biased and partisan information that favored the two major parties is easily provable. Just try to find, on these county election websites, the same or similar information from Colorado Sec. of State Election Office FAQs #2, 7, and 10.
Should Weiser and Griswold be disqualified? Should the election be nullified and run again - legally and fairly? Do violating news outlets need to lose their tax-exempt status or FCC licenses? Colorado’s “gold standard” election integrity is at stake. The primary election needs an unbiased investigation and accountability.

Re: Donald Trump and Tina Peters declare America’s democracy dead, ‘voting machines rigged.’ Their lies are easy to disprove. (Editorial) July 7, 2026
Did Provable Election Fraud Hurt Kirkmeyer?
Rampant fraud did plague Colorado’s primary election, just not how Trump and Tina Peters might claim. Sec. of State Griswold’s office failed to get its updated election instructions posted clearly by all county election office websites. Consequently, an estimated 75% of voters were not officially informed, in a timely and non-partisan way, how to obtain and vote a Unity Party ballot. Only Republican or Democratic ballots and their instructions were automatically mailed to voters.
Additionally, news media such as KUNC, KUSA, and Colorado Sun, excluded Unity Party candidates from forums or voter guides where “all candidates for the same office” were required to be invited. That had the “effect of favoring…a group of candidates”, namely Democrats and Republicans, in violation of IRS or FCC regulations. So, the election was not “free and fair.” Attorney General Weiser is responsible for enforcing rules to ensure “fair” elections, but he and Marx benefitted from an “unfair” election.
Had voters been properly informed, the “fair” election results might have favored Kirkmeyer. That speculation is unknowable. However, claims of election fraud due to misrepresentation or omission of critical facts, are easily knowable and provable. They’re neither “outlandish claims” nor “isolated incidents”.
Should Weiser and Griswold be disqualified? Should the election be nullified and run again - legally and fairly? Do violating news outlets need to lose their tax-exempt status or FCC licenses? Colorado’s “gold standard” election integrity is at stake. The primary election needs an unbiased investigation and accountability.

Try Rain Melody On Drought and Fires
Media Release – July 2, 2026
Try Rain Melody on Drought and Fires
Fire season is exploding in Colorado. Firefighters have died. The National Guard is racing to help. Conservation measures are in place. What else can be done?
Make it rain! A “Rain Melody” might help. Legendary inventor, Nikola Tesla, said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” The laws of nature are frequencies. Sound is vibration. Rhythmic sound in some types of music benefits living organisms. Earth itself is a living organism. Indigenous cultures view water as a living entity.
One type of such music is ancient Gandharva Veda. One of its melodies replicates the frequencies of nature that occur when it’s raining. Playing this “Rain Melody” reportedly helps to bring rain. Think if it as a “starter frequency” for atmospheric engines, just as “starter fluid” is for internal combustion engines.
In the mid-1990s, I organized tours for Maharishi Gandharva Veda musicians. People at different Gandharva concerts reported that it rained, even though rain was not predicted. Using historically successful approaches to increase the chance of rain could lessen death and destruction from wildfires.
In June 2012, the High Park fire raged near Ft. Collins. I informed news media about the “Rain Melody” and encouraged TV and radio stations, as well as public stadiums and other facilities with outdoor speakers, to play it. The melody can even be broadcast on government radio sub-frequencies. It doesn’t matter if people are listening to it, but it’s more powerful if they do, especially at a live concert.
Westword and The Denver Post took it seriously enough to share this information. There’s no way to tell how many people played the Rain Melody. One of my friends played it at her home during another fire in the canyons near Boulder. She excitedly informed me that it started raining at her house. She called friends to the north and south of her and it wasn’t raining at their homes.
Government officials cannot afford to be arrogant, narrow-minded, and insulting toward ancient or Indigenous cultures who might have remedies for drought and extreme fire conditions. Even though I’m a candidate for governor, I don’t need to get elected to share this potential fire-fighting strategy. You can listen to the Rain Melody on YouTube and play it outdoors wherever possible. These remedies might just tip the balance towards more frequent rain.

June 18, 2026: “Four Arse Men of the Epic Collapse” Hang GOP and Dems
Colorado’s Democratic and Republican Parties must be shaking in their boots from the Unity Party riding into town for the primary election. So, they trotted out the “Four Arse* Men of the Epic Collapse” (Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) to fire a warning shot. They ended up shooting themselves and their parties in the foot.
The Colorado Sun posted an opinion by former Governors Bill Owens and Bill Ritter, along with former U.S. Senators Tim Wirth and Hank Brown. Their “bipartisan” appeal to unaffiliated voters claimed, “The challenge is that too many voters do not believe the primary election matters. That perception is understandable — but it is wrong.” Actually, that claim is wrong! It’s merely a “partisan” ploy to keep these voters from finding the Unity Party. They know that unaffiliated voters are drifting toward the greener pastures of better solutions because they’ve been stuck in a rut of a two-party ghost town for too long. I offer better solutions. The “big hats” don’t want that drift to become a stampede.
By excluding mention of the Unity Party in their plea, they’re telling unaffiliated voters that they can vote only for Democrats and Republicans, and no one else. This partisan bias is especially rampant among news outlets in liberal Denver and northern Colorado. The Colorado Sun, KUSA, KGNU*, and KUNC have also excluded the Unity Party, and its candidates, Paul Noel Fiorino and Jeff Peckman, from their partisan voter guides. It’s likely that these non-profit and for-profit news outlets are violating IRS or FCC regulations to benefit especially the Democrats. [*Update: KGNU corrected its Voter Guide on 6/23/26 to include the Unity Party and its two candidates for governor.]
The Fort Collins Coloradoan voter guide even claimed that “Those [Unity Party] ballots can only be returned by party members”, which is a dang lie*. Any of Colorado’s two million unaffiliated voters can vote a Unity Party ballot. They just need to request it from their county clerk or at the voting station. Another challenge for unaffiliated voters is easily finding accurate and complete information on county election websites that explain how they can vote a Unity Party ballot. [*The Coloradoan posted a correction its voter guide after being alerted about the false claim.]
In contrast, news outlets in conservative Colorado Springs, such as KRDO, KOAA, KKTV, and Pikes Peak Media, have publicized the Unity Party primary. They have also invited Unity Party candidates to participate in either a non-partisan questionnaire, interview, or forum. They’re doing it legal and fair.
The hypocrisy and partisan electioneering by liberal news media, and these former major party politicians, is creating the biggest stink since the Great Denver Horse Manure Crisis of 1894! It creates a “ripe” opportunity for Federal vigilantes to force a showdown in Colorado’s “Not OK election corral”. An FBI posse might even charge into town and round up the entire election.
Perhaps we should all be thankful. The sun is setting for the two-party stranglehold on America. Times are changing. The powers of justice, truth, and karma have given these “Four Arse* Men” and liberal media varmints enough rope to hang themselves and the party they road in on.

May 30, 2026: Rampant Fraud in Colorado Election, Says Gubernatorial Candidate
Jeff Peckman, a Unity Party candidate for governor, claims fraud is tarnishing Colorado’s “gold standard” elections. No one has voted yet. So, where’s the fraud?
Peckman said, “Colorado county elections offices, 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, and commercial TV and radio stations are breaking the law by engaging in partisan politics. They’re defrauding unaffiliated voters by withholding critical election information. They’re illegally excluding minor party primary candidates from interviews, forums, debates, and voter guides. That benefits the two major political parties and undermines minor parties.
Over 90% of county election offices are not explaining how to vote a Unity Party primary ballot, or even that there is a Unity party primary. Jefferson, Boulder, and Larimer counties are exceptions. They’re properly informing voters that they must request a Unity Party ballot from the county clerk or at the Voting Center.”
Major and other minor party members may also vote a Unity Party ballot. However, they must first change their party affiliation or withdraw their affiliation and become unaffiliated. June 8 is the deadline for either choice.
According to Peckman, “501(c)(3) non-profits, including churches and community news outlets, are hosting forums and debates, and publicizing ‘voter guides’, that illegally exclude Unity Party candidates. The IRS states on its website FAQ page that such organizations must provide, “…an equal opportunity to participate to all political candidates seeking the same office.’
Commercial TV and radio stations are violating federal law. 47 USC 315 states: ‘If any licensee shall permit any person who is a legally qualified candidate for any public office to use a broadcasting station, he shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station…”
Peckman asserts that, “No legal basis exists for these various entities to exclude minor party primary candidates from official election information and these election opportunities, when major party candidates have been given such opportunities for the same office. The Colorado Public Radio voter guide has set the standard for equal and fair treatment of minor party candidates.
Additionally, many county election websites and voter guides simply link to the website of the Colorado Secretary of State’s General Election FAQ page which contains information that is incomplete, misleading, and confusing.”
Peckman added, “That’s why I filed a complaint with Secretary of State Griswold yesterday and requested an immediate remedy. All qualified voters are legally entitled to complete, accurate, and uniform election information that is not confusing. All qualified candidates are legally entitled to participate in these various election opportunities. This fraud needs to end so voters can make an informed election choice before ballots are mailed on June 8.”
