What I’m Fighting For
I’m motivated by a vision for a safer and more prosperous Colorado where people from all walks of life can thrive. I believe the diversity in our communities makes us stronger. And when all of our neighbors, including the most vulnerable among us, feel safe and secure, it creates opportunity and growth for Colorado.

Affordability
For Homeowners and Renters: Too many Coloradans are struggling to afford the place where they live. I’ll work to expand affordable housing options, protect renters from predatory practices, and help families stay in their homes.
For Childcare: Parents shouldn’t have to risk their jobs or paying their bills because childcare costs are out of reach. I’ll fight to make quality, affordable childcare accessible to every family.
When Accessing Healthcare: No one should have to face bankruptcy when they need to see a doctor. I’ll champion lower healthcare costs, prescription drug prices, and improve billing practices.

Community
TABOR: Colorado’s restrictive TABOR amendment is holding us back, preventing critical investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure. It’s time we put our communities first—not outdated fiscal policy.
Equity in Utilities: I’ll push for policies that protect families from skyrocketing energy bills and ensure utility companies prioritize affordability and sustainability.
Fair Wages: Hardworking Coloradans deserve to be paid a fair wage. I’ll support increasing the minimum wage and creating pathways for economic stability.
Accessible Public Transit: Affordable and reliable public transportation should be available to everyone, reducing commuting costs and creating greener communities.

Safety
From Gun Violence: Gun violence is a public health crisis. I’ll fight for common-sense reforms like universal background checks, safe storage laws, and investments in mental health services to keep our communities safe.
For Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors: Whether it’s seniors, people with disabilities, or those facing homelessness, we must ensure access to resources, support services, and safe spaces for all.
For Immigrants and Their Families: Colorado thrives because of its diverse communities. I’ll work to expand protections for immigrant families, increase access to legal resources, and support pathways to citizenship.
For LGBTQIA+ Members of Our Community: Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. I’ll advocate for stronger protections against discrimination and harassment and ensure access to gender-affirming healthcare and resources.
For Clean Air and Water: Protecting Colorado’s natural beauty is about more than aesthetics—it’s about public health. I’ll fight for stricter environmental regulations, hold polluters accountable, and push for clean energy investments to protect our air and water for future generations.

Opportunity
To Start Your Own Business: Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I’ll work to cut red tape, expand access to small business loans, and create resources to help entrepreneurs succeed.
To Learn New Technology: In today’s fast-changing world, we need access to tech education and training. I’ll support investments in workforce development and programs that prepare Coloradans for the jobs of the future.
To Access Higher Education Without Debt: I’ll fight for tuition-free community college, expanded scholarship programs, and student loan relief so everyone has a chance to succeed.
To Build Wealth Through Homeownership: I’ll support policies that make homeownership more accessible, particularly for first-time buyers and communities historically shut out of generational wealth opportunities.
To Unionize: Coloradans should have the freedom to form unions. Our economy and workers benefit with higher wages and safer workplaces.

Climate Action
Reducing Pollution and Transitioning to Clean Energy: It’s time to move toward a renewable energy future. I support common-sense policies to cut pollution, invest in clean energy, and protect our environment.
Stronger Controls on Oil and Coal: Fossil fuels are polluting our communities and our future. I’ll fight for stricter regulations on oil fracking and coal-powered plants to protect public health and our planet.
Support for Workers in Transition: As we shift to clean energy, we must ensure no one is left behind. I’ll advocate for job training and opportunities for workers transitioning out of the fossil fuel industry.
