Mon Oct 20 2025
In this eye-opening episode of Unleashed, Heidi Ganahl heads south to Pueblo, Colorado—a city at the crossroads of political identity and civic accountability.
Heidi is joined by community leader Randy Thurston, who sheds light on growing frustrations with Pueblo’s Republican mayor—a leader elected on conservative promises but now facing intense local scrutiny for embracing progressive policies and alienating her base. From her stance on illegal immigration to attacks on citizen activists and the press, residents are asking: Whose side is she really on?
Together, Heidi and Randy dive into:🔹 How Pueblo became ground zero in the battle between establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives🔹 The mayor’s controversial conduct—including her alliance with far-left voices and antagonism toward concerned citizens🔹 An upcoming City Council vote that could hold her accountable🔹 The broader stakes for small-town Colorado and what it signals for the state’s future
This episode is a rallying cry for citizens in every corner of Colorado: if it can happen in Pueblo, it can happen anywhere. Now is the time to stand firm, speak truth, and fight for accountable leadership.
