Get StartedStill, we must continue to work together and pass policies that will reduce crime rates even further. In the next legislative session, I will introduce policies to crack down on motor vehicle theft by prohibiting offenders from possessing a firearm- which we currently do for other felons. I will work to re-classify retail burglary as a felony. And I will fight to give judges more discretion in bail hearings for violent defendants. I am more committed than ever to ensuring that everyone in Pueblo feels safe and secure. Learn more
We must continue the fight for equal pay for equal work, raise wages and expand workers’ rights, break down systemic barriers that keep working families from succeeding, and invest in building equity and mobility for people who have been left out and behind for generations. Together, we can create an economy that works for everyone. Learn more
I will continue to push for legislation that improves the quality of public schools, reduces class sizes, and provides tuition assistance to low- and middle-income college students because our kids are our future and we need to provide them with every tool at our disposal to ensure they can excel . I will continue to support dual-enrollment programs, and skilled trade credentialing programs. Learn more

I also passed a bill that restricts the amount that property taxes can increase in any given year for owner-occupied homes. I firmly believe that access to homeownership is a cornerstone of the middle-class, and I remain committed to supporting policies to make sure that every Coloradan has a safe place to live and raise a family.

We need to continue to invest in our roads and bridges to ensure that the growing population in Colorado can get to work on time, and that small businesses can move their goods and services around the four corners of our state with efficiency and ease. At the same time, we must keep our climate goals in mind because our transportation system is a key emitter of greenhouse gasses. I have been, and will continue to be, a staunch supporter of a Front Range Passenger Rail system from Pueblo to Fort Collins. Learn more
