My name is Aaron Helstrom and I’m running for Teller County District 2 Commissioner as a Constitutional Conservative, called by God to stand in the gap for the voiceless and defend the rights of the defenseless. As a U.S. Marine, I took an oath to defend the Constitution. I never stopped. As your county commissioner, I will restore honor, challenge government overreach, reject unconstitutional mandates, and bring integrity and experience back to local leadership. I will fight for We the People, not special interests, not party elites; just real people who deserve to be heard. Thank you for standing with me as we protect freedom, uphold truth, and lead with courage.

Why I’m Running

The American story unites us—rooted in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As Frederic Bastiat wrote, government exists to protect our God-given rights, not plunder them. Yet division threatens our freedoms. George Washington cautioned against the “spirit of party” that could fracture our Republic, and John Adams warned that “liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” We see this in our nation’s politics and in Teller County’s debates. But most troubling is the quiet surrender of those who’ve stepped back.

To overcome this crossroads, we need solutions that not only address our immediate challenges but also build a resilient future for Teller County—one where our values thrive.

That’s why I’m running: to unite our community, protect our freedoms, and deliver results that honor our values. I believe, as Bastiat taught, that the law should shield liberty, not take from one to give to another. Government’s role is to secure our rights —life, liberty, and property. When it overreaches, cloaking control as safety, we must resist. Justice flows from accountable governance. As your Commissioner, I’ll meet Teller County’s challenges with a proactive heart, blending immediate solutions with long-term strategies to ensure we not only survive but thrive through any crisis.
