Kenneth Rapoza is a seasoned, veteran business journalist with more than 20 years of experience reporting locally for The Boston Globe, and stationed abroad as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones News in Sao Paulo where he won awards for his work.

Since 2011, upon his return to the United States, Ken has covered trade, big business and investing in Brazil, Russia, India and China for Forbes as a senior contributor.  He has traveled throughout all of the countries he covers and has seen first hand China’s impressive growth and its ghost towns as recent as 2017.

His editorial work has appeared in diverse publications like USA Today — where he was given the unflattering task of taking an opposing view in support of China tariffs at the start of the trade war — and in liberal, advocacy media like In These Times.

All told, he has either written for, or has been written about, in The Nation and Salon in the dot-com years, and almost broke the Argentine internet after a story about the return of the International Monetary Fund before the government opened up about it.

Having grown up near the depressed mill towns of Massachusetts, manufacturing as a bulwark of household income and economic sustainability is not merely an intellectual pursuit, but a deeply personal one, as well. He experienced the life-altering impact government policy has on manufacturing labor in his own family back in the 1990s. He considers himself an American “lao baixing.” He graduated from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH in his late 20s.

Ken now lives and works from a small farm and beach town in Southern Massachusetts with his family.

In the State Senate, Kevin works to help our state government work for you, not over you.  He stays true to his values and is working to get Colorado back on track.

Kevin has earned “A” ratings from Principles of Liberty Colorado and the National Rifle Association during his short time at the capitol. He was also recognized by several publications, such as the Denver Post and Colorado Peak Politics, as an “extremely effective legislator” who “holds firm to conservative values.”
Kevin has deep roots in the community. It is often said that he grew up along with the area he currently represents and is truly proud to have started both his family and business in Douglas County.

In his free time, Kevin is a proud member of a local Ice Hockey team and gets outside as often as possible to enjoy Colorado’s many hiking trails and campgrounds. He and his wife, Kelly, are founding members of Crosspoint Community Church in nearby Centennial, Colorado, and proud parents.

Before his service as State Senator, Kevin served for 8 years as State Representative of HD-43. For two of those years he served as the Assistant Minority Leader. He was also a Ranking Member of the House Finance Committee and a member of the House Business Affairs & Labor Committee. Additionally, he sat on the esteemed Legislative Board of Ethics, was President of the Colorado Channel, and was a member of the Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Pension Reform Commission.

We don’t always meet people with impressive backgrounds, but when we do, we prefer to talk to Andrew Freeman. With a Master’s degree from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and a tech background, he’s the man who dreams of transforming education for young minds.

During his technology career, Andrew had a knack for simplifying complex technologies and subjects for non-technical audiences. His passion for teaching even led him to head-up training at one of Hewlett-Packard’s manufacturing divisions.

But that’s not all – Andrew is a Resonance Science Delegate and an Award-Winning Screenwriter. And if you thought that was impressive, let us tell you that he once won a karaoke competition on a Carnival Cruise.

He’s not just a tech genius and a karaoke champion, though. Andrew is currently co-writing a children’s book with his daughter Jaimee titled “Checkers the World’s Greatest Cat Detective.” If you’re ever in need of some inspiration, Andrew Freeman is the man to talk to.
