I was introduced to Peter Yu by a mutual friend, as the liberty-minded person’s best pick for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. Peter has a great record of success in both big and small business, fell just short in his race for Colorado’s 2nd District in 2017, and has remained active in the political sphere since his first run. Peter is the first American-born child of a Chinese family, who arrived together in 1969 with six children, no money, and no English skills. They lived in cramped conditions, often with other families, and worked entry-level roles in food and hospitality until a turn of fate brought their family to Loveland in the mid-70’s, as owner-operators of the only Chinese restaurant in town at the time and for many years.
Hard work (and underpaid child labor) kept the restaurant alive through some of the lean years, and though Peter’s parents never tasted financial fortune they saw 5 of their 7 children finish college, and all 7 build successful businesses and careers - truly their American Dream. Peter mostly grew up in that restaurant, and has a unique perspective as the often only Asian kid in every class or school. He was a star football player in his day, but his stature and the laws of physics made a pro career impossible!
Peter is in a crowded field for this primary race, a group of 11 that includes the (in)famous Lauren Boebert, who is attempting to move over from the more-competitive 3rd District. Peter is a great interview and has my endorsement. He’s a fast thinker, has dug into all the essential issues of our region and our time, and is a great conversationalist. Further, he’s fully invested in the causes of liberty and the American Dream, and I know you’ll enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Peter Yu.
