Get StartedI will always fight to protect a woman’s right to choose. Women should have the right to make healthcare decisions that are right for them and their families. Learn more
Mass incarceration, unequal application of the justice system based on race and class, and the long-term impacts of incarceration on employment, housing, and re-integration point to a criminal justice system in need of reform. In Congress, I am fighting for justice and equal treatment for all by promoting criminal justice policies to improve law enforcement, reduce incarceration, decriminalize marijuana, and strengthen communities. I support innovative, data-based reforms such as restorative justice that are designed to keep the public safer and address the underlying causes of crimes. Learn more
Young people should have access to high quality education, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. I owe much of my success to strong, public, neighborhood schools. Every child deserves the same. Colorado’s public school system has left too many children behind. In Congress, I am fighting against cuts in funding and voucher proposals that will only make this problem worse for Colorado’s families. Learn more
I am also fighting to ensure that our public lands are not sold off to the highest bidder or destroyed by irresponsible drilling and mining, and I will continue to do so if reelected. Communities across America depend on government funding to help treat drinking water, detect lead contamination, clean up abandoned mines and waste sites, and ensure our families are safe from pollution. Leaving a healthy planet for our children and grandchildren will always be a priority for me and should never be a pawn in political games. Learn more
America needs to resume its global leadership position in international institutions, and promote human rights and democracy abroad. The current administration’s foreign policy has frightened our allies, weakened our alliances, and signaled to our enemies that we are weak. Retreating from our global leadership position is not an option, and will not move the world to a safer, cleaner, and more prosperous place for our children. Learn more
Washington is broken. Too many politicians are in the pockets of the special interests that spend millions of dollars to get them elected. They stack the decks for their donors and Colorado families pay the price. We can unrig the system by ending the flood of unlimited and undisclosed money that is drowning out the voices of regular people. I am fighting to bring accountability to Washington and end the corrupting influence of special interest money so that our government serves all Coloradans. This is why I promise not to take a dime of corporate PAC money, just like I promised in 2018. Learn more
The Affordable Care Act needs improvement in certain areas, but has covered tens of millions of previously uninsured Americans. I want to fix the system. We can begin by stabilizing the individual market and lowering prescription drug prices to increase competition and make them more affordable for consumers. Learn more
Ensuring that everyone has access to affordable housing is critical to ensuring the strength of our economy and the social fabric of our nation, and for too long Washington has ignored the growing housing crisis. Colorado, along with the rest of the nation, is facing an affordable housing crisis, and I will continue to make increasing the supply of affordable housing one of my goals in Congress. No one should be forced to choose between a roof over their heads, food on the table, medical care, or an education. Learn more
Making sure we have secure borders that prevent the illegal flow of weapons and drugs into America is a priority for every member of Congress. But we need to be smarter about the border and not waste billions of dollars on an ineffective wall. American businesses need workers in virtually all sectors of the economy and a comprehensive approach to immigration reform and visa processing is necessary. Learn more
