The Greeley Tribune - "Mitchell's legislative agenda incorporates key Weld issues: schools, transportation infrastructure, water storage, and our biggest worry-- the state's fiscal crisis. He is determined to face these problems head on and suggests legitimate solutions."

The Westminster Window - "Mitchell is ready to move up, and we're ready to support his bid for SD23."

The Denver Post - "...Mitchell also joined Democrats to rein in some abuses of the war on drugs and help reform condemnation laws to protect taxpayers and small businesses from corporate welfare schemes. He's our choice over Democrat Curt Darius Williams."

Governor Bill Owens - "Shawn Mitchell has shown tremendous leadership and integrity during his six years in the Colorado House of Representatives. He has been a friend of mine, a defender of the Colorado taxpayer and a champion of working families."

Longmont Times-Call - "Curt Darius Williams, the Democrat in the race for the District 23 Senate seat, probably has the best singing voice, but Republican Shawn Mitchell will do the best job of representing this combination suburban/rural district. Mitchell's service to Colorado should be continued in the state Senate."
