Denver, CO – Today, the Washington Free Beacon released a story highlighting an alleged assault by Democrat gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis against a female employee in the late 1990’s. A subsequent restraining order was granted against Polis over the incident. This revelation reveals a dark side to Polis’ temperament which should concern all Colorado voters.

“The type controlling behavior described in this police report is quite concerning,” said Adam Johnson, communications director for Compass Colorado. “Workplace violence is a serious matter. I would like to know if Mr. Polis has had any anger management therapy, conflict resolution training, or personal therapy to address his anger issues.”

“Why are we only hearing about this now for the first time?” said Kelly Maher, executive director of Compass Colorado. “The characterization of Polis preventing a woman who was afraid for her physical safety from contacting emergency services is deeply troubling.”
