WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper announced Patrick Ortiz, formerly the Operations Director for San Luis Valley Great Outdoors, as his Regional Representative for the San Luis Valley.
“Patrick knows how to bring people together and make sure everyone’s voice is truly heard. His deep understanding of Southern Colorado’s history, culture, and people will make him a strong advocate for San Luis Valley families,” said Hickenlooper. “We couldn’t be more excited to have him on board!”
“I’ve always admired how Senator Hickenlooper sets politics aside and tackles our state’s problems. He listens to the people, especially in the most rural areas of the state, to make sure our priorities are his priorities. I’m excited to join this great team and represent the residents and communities of the San Luis Valley,” said Ortiz.
Prior to joining Hickenlooper’s team, Ortiz served as the Operations Director for San Luis Valley Great Outdoors (SLV GO!), a non-profit organization that works to create inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities in the San Luis Valley to connect communities and strengthen the local economy. He is an Adams State University alum.
