Rob Taylor Report ~ The Case of the Stolen Political Signs

3 PM PST Monday, December 8, 2025

Lori Gimelshteyn, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a Colorado-based speech-language pathologist and vocal parent rights advocate. With a master's degree and certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, she founded Colorado Speech, Language & Learning Professionals, Inc., in Massachusetts in 2000 before relocating it to Aurora, Colorado, in 2013, where she serves as owner and executive director.

As a mother concerned about public education, Gimelshteyn co-founded the Cherry Creek Parent Advocacy Network to address issues like culturally responsive education and school transparency.

In 2021, she co-created the broader Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN), where she now serves as executive director. Through CPAN, she champions parental involvement, accountability in schools, and opposition to what she views as politicized curricula, particularly around gender ideology and LGBTQ+ policies.

In 2025, Elizabeth Cockrill Taylor campaigned for the District E seat on the Roaring Fork School District Board of Education, challenging incumbent Kathryn Kuhlenberg. Her platform emphasized improving academic achievement, enhancing school safety (including options for staff concealed-carry training), increasing transparency through public lesson plans, and prioritizing core subjects like reading, writing, and arithmetic.

During a contentious campaign marked by the theft of her signs—which she tracked to a school employee's home—Taylor ultimately fell short in the November election, receiving about 28% of the vote. She continues to advocate for putting students and parents first in public education.
