Perry Will is an American politician and retired wildlife officer from the state of Colorado. He is a Republican member of the Colorado Senate. He represents District 5, which includes Pitkin, Gunnison, and Hinsdale counties and portions of Eagle, Garfield, Montrose, and Delta counties.[1]
Previously, Will represented the 57th district of the Colorado House of Representatives, based in the northwestern corner of the state, from 2019 to early 2023.[2] [3]
Will was appointed to the State House following incumbent Bob Rankin's appointment to the Colorado Senate. A vacancy committee met and chose Will from a field of four candidates, including Rankin's wife Joyce. Prior to his appointment to the legislature, Will had worked for Colorado Parks and Wildlife for 43 years.[4] [5]
In the 2022 Colorado House of Representatives election, Will was defeated by Democrat Elizabeth Velasco.[6]
Following State Senator Bob Rankin's announced resignation on January 10, 2023, a vacancy committee selected Will to fill Rankin's seat. Will represents the newly-reapportioned Senate District 5.
In January 2024, Will announced that he will not be running for another term in the Colorado Senate. Instead, he will be running for a seat on the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County.[7]
