Jesse Paul

Frederick Alfred Jr., a 38-year-old who lives in Commerce City, is running to represent state Senate District 21 north of Denver.

Oil pump jacks owned by oil and gas operator K.P. Kauffman Company stand on a roughly 40-acre lot known as MinerÕs Park Town Center in Frederick Monday, Aug. 14, 2023. The lot, on the northeast corner of Colorado 52 and Colorado Boulevard, is home to six wells the company priced at about $250,000 each to plug and abandon, assistant town manager Ryan Johnson said, creating a high barrier for other development of the land. The Town of Frederick is set to petition the Energy & Carbon Management Commission to force K.P. Kauffman Company to plug and remediate 95 wells within the town that are no longer used or useful and represent a threat to public health, safety, welfare, and the environment,Ó according to filings with the ECMC.
