What happens when a public servant reports what he believes is election misconduct?
Former Colorado Fire Chief Erik Holt joins Michael Jaco to share the story he says changed his life forever.
After serving nearly two decades in federal service, Erik accepted the role of Fire Chief in a rural Colorado community. Following a local election held at his fire station, he says he received complaints from citizens, reviewed surveillance footage, and reported what he believed was evidence of election misconduct to law enforcement.
According to Erik, that decision led to retaliation, the loss of his career, years of litigation, and a legal battle over whether public servants retain First Amendment protections when reporting alleged government wrongdoing.
In this powerful conversation, Erik discusses:
• Free speech and First Amendment protections
Erik believes his case has implications far beyond Colorado and could affect every American who serves in public office or government employment. He explains why he is continuing his appeal and why he believes protecting constitutional rights requires ordinary citizens to stand up when they witness wrongdoing.
If you believe in free speech, due process, government accountability, and protecting those who come forward, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
