In September 2010, John Kinkaid traveled to Denver to testify against an action he felt could jeopardize numerous local jobs.

Kinkaid spoke out against Xcel Energy’s plans to comply with Colorado House Bill 10-1365 in hopes of helping his son, Caleb, keep his job at Twentymile Coal Co.The feeling he had at the time is similar to one he has now.Kinkaid said he needs to be involved in the political process for the betterment of Northwest Colorado, and that spurred him to announce Friday his intention to run for Moffat County Commission next year.“This is the right time in my life to do this,” he said. “I have been interested in politics my entire adult life, but I have never acted upon it as far as running for office.”
