Rhonda Follman, former Executive Director, the Dolphin House 7th JD Child Advocacy Center

“When we have a prosecutor who’s not afraid to go to trial on cases like these [sex crimes]—ones that are gravely important and highly emotionally-charged—it’s not only a win for our community but a win for the victims of these atrocious crimes. Seth’s approach to prosecution has really helped victims go from surviving to thriving.”

Bill Masters, Sheriff, San Miguel County Sheriff's Office

"I am without reservation in my endorsement of Seth Ryan for the 7th Judicial District Attorney. 

Seth is an experienced, thoughtful, and organized prosecutor who has a proven record of success. Repeatedly I have seen him lead teams of peace officers, investigators, support staff, and fellow prosecutors though the most challenging cases in our district.  

He understands the diverse nature of the many communities in District and will always be there, in the counties, cities, and towns, representing the people and the law with his well-documented knowledge, vigor, and prudence.

Please join me in supporting Seth Ryan for District Attorney."

Arthur G. Fox (retired), Police Officer, Deputy Marshall, 7th Judicial District DA's Office Investigator, and City of Ouray Mayor

“I support Seth D. Ryan, currently the chief deputy DA, in his upcoming election for the position of District Attorney.

I have known and worked with Seth for many years.

I have not known a finer attorney who knows the law and applies the law fairly. 

I believe that, as our new District Attorney, he will be a great asset to the citizens of Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Montrose, Ouray, and San Miguel counties.

Please vote Seth D. Ryan for District Attorney!”

Dan Covault, Investigator Sergeant, San Miguel County Sheriff's Office

"I have worked closely with Seth Ryan within the criminal justice system. His devotion to friends, family, and justice is beyond reproach.  If integrity, dedication, honor, loyalty, compassion, skill, and knowledge are the attributes of a good District Attorney, then Seth Ryan is the man for the job.  He is a skilled litigator with an in-depth knowledge of Colorado law and the courage to apply it.  The communities within the 7th Judicial District would do well to put him in office."

Tom Chinn, Chief (retired), Montrose Police Department

"I am supporting Seth Ryan for District Attorney of the 7th Judicial District.

I have known Seth Ryan since 2007 and know him to be one of the most honest individuals I’ve encountered. 

Seth has the experience and the training necessary to become the next District Attorney for our community. He has worked very hard and has won numerous trials for the people in the 7th Judicial District. Seth is easy to talk with and displays empathy for victims of crime. Seth works very well with law enforcement.

For these reasons I strongly support Seth Ryan for District Attorney of the 7th Judicial District."

Carlton Mason, CEO, CASA of the 7th Judicial District
"Through personal acquaintance and professional observation, Seth has shown an unwavering commitment to his fellow citizens. His work in the DA’s Office for over 12 years has demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and perseverance."
