Adam Frisch: TFCRV Analysis

 Transparency; Adam Frisch's transparency is given a horrid (1). This is due to 78% from D.C. while claiming to be an outsider from national government. Between 2023-2024, he rose $17,012,655.07 which doesn't match with other finances from his campaign. This is due to likely not counting certain funders as in total he raised 17.1 million at the same time it says he didn't. This is a total of 90k missing dollars. He also does not state where his money comes from, specifically in PACs on his website. Though PAC-wise his primary funders were Project 218 and other D.C.-based SuperPACs. In total, these numbers an inconsistencies hurt his scores as well as his negative appeal of not showing who funds him. Another point down on his score is the existence and attempted coverup of the Lift One project in Aspen, which was a project partially funded and operated by him. Overall he gets a Horrid in this category, which is 1/6.

  Fulfillment; He hasn't held many positions other than a city councilman for the city of Aspen, thus there isn't much to work with here. Though it appears he's been successful for the most part in accessing goals such as raising the tobacco age in Aspen years before Colorado did as a state. Overall we give a score of Well, which is an equivalent of 4/6.

  Character; Adam Frisch's character is complicated and his alignment with YfP is mediocre to say the best. He is a neo-liberal which is an ideology that we aren't the biggest fans of but his policy is where we deep dive. Up first, agriculture, while agriculture isn't his specialty as an economist he does stand with YfP at protecting generational farmland and preventing large corporations eating up and providing one-side contracts with our nation and district's farmers. Next, immigration, he is pro-deportation and immigration handling, considering it a larger problem, while not as extreme as the Republicans, his ideas don't with YfP's more pro-immigration policy. The only case in immigration we agree upon is speeding up asylum cases, as we believe that long bureaucracy is one of the reason illegal immigration is a 'problem'. Frisch states "Healthcare in this country costs too much – especially in rural areas", we here at YfP agree with his stated healthcare policies but we think he should go farther and go for fully-nationalized, single-payer healthcare. With these he seems okay, though his energy and many other policies are disagreeable and appears to overall, put business over person thus we grant him a score of Bad in this category, which is 2/6.

  Track Record; With no criminal record or congressional voting record all we can use to judge Frisch is his moral record. Well he alleged had an extramarital affair in 2018 according to Aspen taxi driver, Todd Gardner. He also meddled in the 2024 Republican primaries in District 3, which didn't do anything but still. Overall he is morally, pretty clean outside of being an out-of-touch economist. We decided to grant him a score of Well, which is 4/6. This is due to his mild, uncomplicated, record.

  Vision; Finally we shall go over his vision, his vision is mildly well thought out. Though for the most part isn't to hard to do. His plans over agriculture are likely the most thought-out though aren't the greatest for the actual industry. Healthcare mostly is funding. He plans to not halt oil or natural gas drilling, plans on immigration are also extremely thought out but otherwise he mostly goes over the overall concept and not the logistics. Overall these ideas aren't the greatestly thought-out and should be taken with a grain of salt. He gets a grade of Poor, 3/6.

  With this his total and final score a 2.5/6, which is less than half. While it isn't worst he could have and we believe he needs improvement. We will likely see worse. With that, his grade is a Quite Poor.
