Interview with Savannah Wolfson
As a mother of two, Savannah Wolfson’s love for her family clearly motivates her desire to serve constituents of Colorado’s 26th House District (formerly HD57). She is running against Republican opponent Glenn Lowe in this month’s primary election on June 28.
Wolfson and her family moved to Colorado in 2016 following what she describes as “a difficult time” in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“There was a lot of crime, we were actually robbed after we tucked in our kids at night, and had an invasion, and we actually saw the robbers, and had no way to defend ourselves,” explained Wolfson. That event, along with others while living in Milwaukee motivated a political and geographical shift for Wolfson.
“I started looking into a firearm because it took the police five hours to show up,” she said, attributing the slow police response to them being “defunded.” Ultimately the experience led her to look into owning firearms for the first time, which is when she also became disillusioned with the Democratic party because they “did not want me to have the best tools on the market to defend myself and my children.”
In 2016, Wolfson and her family moved to Oak Creek, Colorado, in Routt County. She said they wanted a place where they could be “in touch with nature and God.”
