"When the 111th Congress of the United States is sworn in next January, it will be without one of Colorado’s finest public servants. Wayne Allard is retiring from public life after a quarter century of service to his native Colorado.

Once elected to Congress, he still spent every possible day back in the state often holding one of his more than 700 town meetings in every county of Colorado staying in touch with the people and the way of life back home.
