About the message:
This mailer from super PAC Coloradans for Constitutional Values says that Grady Nouis, a Republican candidate for House District 48 in Weld County, is a convicted drug criminal. A Denver Post story in 2018 noted that Nouis pleaded guilty to "maintaining a drug house" and marijuana possession when he was 21 in 2005, some 15 years ago. Nouis lost a Jefferson County House contest in 2018, then moved to Milliken and is running in a Weld County primary there.
