 A Humble Visionary and Dedicated Independent Candidate

Fred Osborne is an independent candidate running for Governor of Colorado in the 2026 election, bringing a lifetime of hands-on service, innovative thinking, and unwavering commitment to the people. As the owner and CEO of Dude’s Laboring LLC, a trusted handyman and labor service in Colorado Springs, Fred has earned a reputation as “Mr. Fix It” by stepping in during crises—whether restoring flood-damaged homes or rebuilding community trust through acts of kindness. His grassroots campaign is a call to action, promising to serve every citizen, streamline government, and reward positive contributions that strengthen society. With a heart for unity and a mind for progress, Fred inspires Coloradans to dream big while addressing real-world needs.

Fred’s journey reflects a profound dedication to exploration, service, and innovation. Early on, he honed his leadership skills as a representative on the Stevenson High Student Council and later as a student government senator at Elgin Community College. His studies at Colorado Technical University in mechanical and structural engineering principles equipped him with the technical foundation to tackle complex challenges. Fred’s passion for aviation led him to become a licensed pilot, and his curiosity extended to the airwaves as a radio personality known as “Ex-Radio Head.”

His experiences in space exploration add a layer of humility and inspiration to his story. In a humbling chapter of his career, Fred contributed to NASA’s Space Shuttle program, supporting operations at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Houston location. During the 1980s, he played a role in implementing the Russian training pool space simulator—a deep-water facility similar to NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Florida, used for astronaut training in simulated zero-gravity environments. This work, alongside his training among cosmonauts at Russia’s Star City, deepened his appreciation for international collaboration and the human spirit’s drive to reach beyond Earth.

Fred’s service to his country also included critical infrastructure projects. At the Cheyenne Mountain base, home to NORAD, he helped install miles of fiber optic cables essential for secure, high-capacity military communications for the U.S. Government. His valor echoes through history: during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, Fred served as a personal Marine Sentry for the Commander-in-Chief, and amid the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, he stood as a steadfast Sentry at the American Embassy in Iran, embodying resilience and duty.

Fred’s commitment to justice has been unwavering. At the United Nations, he advocated for Interpol, helping compile a multi-language agreement that advanced global cooperation through the World Court. He lobbied for women’s equal rights, fighting to end non-consensual acts within marriage and protect individuals’ dignity. In 2020, Fred ran for president as an independent, planting seeds of unity that now fuel his gubernatorial bid.

Looking to the stars, Fred envisions Colorado leading humanity’s next great leap. Informed by his engineering expertise and aerospace background, he proposes ambitious yet grounded initiatives like a space elevator rising from the Rocky Mountains to democratize access to orbit, and the Lunar Express—an orbital ring system to facilitate lunar travel, creating jobs, resources, and wonder for future generations. These ideas, rooted in the legacies of pioneers like Tsiolkovsky and Clarke, aim to harness Colorado’s aerospace heritage for economic growth and inspiration.

As an INFP personality with an Enneagram 4w3, Fred is described on boo.world as a multi-talented, empathetic figure who captures hearts through passionate curiosity. He doesn’t seek glory but a brighter future where every Coloradan’s potential shines.

Standing Out in the 2026 Race

The 2026 Colorado gubernatorial election, with primaries on June 30 and the general election on November 3, is a competitive field shaped by term limits for incumbent Governor Jared Polis. Over 30 candidates have declared across parties, including:

Democrats: U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, Attorney General Phil Weiser, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, and others—supported by robust fundraising and endorsements, focusing on climate action, affordability, and proven experience.

Republicans: State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer, former U.S. Rep. Greg Lopez, and more than a dozen contenders emphasizing public safety, tax relief, and conservative principles.

As an independent, Fred Osborne stands apart with his people-first approach, fueled by social media and personal conviction rather than party machinery. While others offer incremental reforms, Fred’s blend of empathy, technical insight, and visionary goals—like cosmic innovation and rewards for kindness—ignites hope for transcendence. In a divided landscape, he unites through shared dreams, inviting Coloradans to heal, innovate, and soar.

Colorado deserves a leader forged in service, humbled by challenges, and inspired by possibility. Fred Osborne embodies that spirit—join his movement on Facebook at Fred Osborne for Governor. Together, let’s build a Colorado where every citizen thrives, and the stars feel within reach.
