Leslie Robinson addresses reporters

Grand Valley Citizens Alliance Chairperson Leslie Robinson addressed reporters during hearings on SB19-181 in March.

The Alliance would like to highlight the contributions made to Western Colorado by Leslie Robinson.

Leslie is the chair of the Grand Valley Citizens Alliance, one of the Alliance’s affiliate groups in Garfield County. Over the last few months, Leslie has been extremely busy working to pass sensible regulations of the oil and gas industry. During the most recent legislative session, Leslie worked hard to ensure that the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation reform bill would become law.

Leslie drove to Denver a number of times over the winter to testify in support of SB19-181. When she wasn’t spending late nights at the capital, she was educating the public about the bill and providing GVCA members opportunities to add their support as well.

Leslie Robinson is passionate about her work in holding oil and gas companies accountable for their actions.

During the many years she has spent protecting the health and safety of rural Coloradoans, Leslie has sacrificed a lot of her own time. Leslie has a heavier workload than would be required from a full-time job and she is constantly busy.

It would be impossible for the Alliance to do our oil and gas work without her. Western Colorado Alliance is proud to work with both Grand Valley Citizens Alliance and Leslie Robinson.

The people here at the Alliance are inspired by your example and your work. Thank you for all you do, Leslie!
