Colin Archer has spent his career leading local businesses, meeting payroll, and answering to the community he serves. He's asking Hutchinson County to put that experience back to work for FPC.

Borger · Hutchinson County
About Colin
A local business owner who has spent his career making payroll, managing inventory, and answering to the community he serves — not just theorizing about it.
Colin Archer grew up around the family hardware business in Borger and has spent his adult life doing the unglamorous work of running local companies — the kind of work that teaches you to read a budget, keep a promise, and treat every dollar like it's someone's paycheck.
Today he's positioning to lead his family's Ace Hardware co-op and owns The Game Station, a tabletop and hobby retail shop on 3rd Street that's become a gathering place for local kids and families. That hands-on business experience — payroll, inventory, community accountability — is exactly what he brings to the FPC boardroom.
On the Board of Regents, Colin has focused on fiscal discipline, transparency, and making sure FPC stays a real path to opportunity for Hutchinson County students, not just a line item. He's running for Place 4 again because the work isn't finished.
Where Colin Stands
A local college board seat isn't about big speeches — it's about steady follow-through on the things that actually affect students and taxpayers.
Treat tuition and tax dollars the way he treats his own businesses' books — with scrutiny, not autopilot.
Grow programs that lead straight into local jobs — the same trades and small businesses that keep Hutchinson County running.
Decisions explained in plain language, not buried in jargon — a board that answers to the people who fund it.
Keep talented students and staff in Hutchinson County by investing in what makes FPC worth choosing.
"This isn't a résumé line for me. My kids will go through Hutchinson County schools and, I hope, through FPC. I want the board making decisions like it's their own family's stake in it — because it is." — Colin Archer
Colin and his wife Sarah are raising their family in Borger, running local businesses on the same streets where he grew up. That's the lens he brings to the board table — not a distant policy debate, but decisions that touch neighbors, employees, and his own kids' future.
