Strong drinks. Strong opinions. Strong Leadership.
Last call for bad leadership
Behind the bar, people don’t filter themselves. I’ve heard what’s working in Mesa County—and what’s not. I’ve had to solve problems on the spot, keep people safe, and keep a business alive through good times and tough ones. That’s real responsibility. That’s why I’m running.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring real-world experience from behind the bar to county government—where listening comes first, problems get solved, and leadership is accountable. BJ Wright has spent years hearing directly from the people of Mesa County and managing real challenges every single day. He’s running to make sure this county stays safe, supports its local businesses, and keeps working for everyone—day and night.
Our Values
BJ Wright for Mesa County
Mesa County is built by people who work hard, look out for each other, and take pride in where they live. BJ Wright’s values come from real experience—running a local business, listening to the community, and solving problems every single day.
These aren’t talking points. They’re how he’s lived—and how he’ll lead.
Hard Work & Real-World Leadership
Leadership You Earn, Not Claim
Mesa County runs on people who show up early, stay late, and get the job done—and BJ is one of them. Running a small business means being accountable every day. You don’t get to pass the buck or hide behind excuses. You solve problems, take care of your people, and keep things moving.
That’s the kind of leadership BJ will bring to county government—grounded in real experience, focused on results, and built on doing the work, not just talking about it.
Safe & Responsible Community
Safe & Responsible Community
Safety isn’t theoretical for BJ—it’s something he’s managed every single night. Running a bar means understanding people, recognizing when something’s off, and stepping in before problems escalate. It’s about keeping an environment that’s welcoming, controlled, and safe.
BJ believes Mesa County can be a place that’s active and alive—day and night—while still being responsible and secure. That means practical solutions, strong partnerships, and leadership that takes safety seriously.
Support for Local Businesses & the Nightlife Economy
Support for Local Businesses & the Nightlife Economy
Local businesses are the backbone of Mesa County—and that includes the businesses that operate after hours. BJ knows firsthand what it takes to keep a business running, especially in the late-night economy. It’s long hours, real responsibility, and constant problem-solving.
Bars, restaurants, and other local venues don’t just create jobs—they help keep the community connected and the local economy moving. BJ will fight to make sure these businesses are treated fairly, not buried in unnecessary red tape, and recognized for the role they play in keeping Mesa County working—day and night.
Straight Talk & No-Nonsense Government
Honest Leadership. Real Results
Behind the bar, people don’t sugarcoat things—and BJ won’t either. He believes in being honest about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change. No spin, no political games—just straightforward leadership.
Government should be simple, efficient, and accountable to the people it serves. BJ is committed to cutting through the noise, focusing on real solutions, and delivering results that actually make a difference in people’s lives.
