Get StartedWe need a multi-pronged approach to homelessness that does not shy away from involving law enforcement, when necessary. Learn more
Defend our police and first responders, not demonize or defund them. Learn more
We need more funding for our state and local law enforcement to hire, train, and retain a high-quality police force. Learn more
It is time to get serious about this growing problem and generate real solutions: enforce the laws and help homeless people get off the streets and into permanent and stable housing, and when necessary, into treatment and rehab centers. Learn more
It’s time to direct more dollars to the classrooms to increase teachers’ salaries and classroom staffing. Learn more
I will sponsor reforms that generate excellence and competition, such as charter schools and scholarship programs that allow parents and kids to escape mediocre or underperforming schools. These reforms will include affordable vocational and trade school alternatives for high school grads as a desirable alternative to four-year institutions. Learn more
Kids are at minimal risk from the various COVID variants. The consequences to kids, particularly young kids, of long-term masking – inadequate socialization, disruption to learning, even suicide rates – make it clear that mask mandates must end. Learn more
Demand school curriculum transparency. Parents should have the final verdict in their child’s education, not anyone else, and especially not politicians or political groups. Get politics and critical theory out of the classroom. Learn more
Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), funded by lottery revenues, has been an important partner in acquiring and sustaining outdoor parks and open space. I will work to make sure Jefferson County parks and open space receive adequate funding, whether through GOCO or supplemental funding. Learn more
My goal is to work with municipal, state, federal, and private-sector stakeholders to raise funds to plant more trees in our suburban Jefferson County communities. If I have the honor of being your State Senator, I will donate my legislative salary to kick-start a tree-planting program in Jeffco. Learn more
I support Colorado Water Plan initiatives, but we must do more. Water storage and environmental stewardship should be a core responsibility of our state government. Existing storage and resources are insufficient for a growing population. Learn more
Promote and Defend Colorado’s Energy Sector and its workers to keep the cost of heating and powering our homes and driving our cars low. Far-left activists have imposed the most onerous regulations in the country on energy workers, killing good jobs and reducing the supply of affordable energy in Colorado. Learn more
As State Senator, I will make healthy forests a legislative priority. We need to remove dead trees and, when necessary, thin overgrown forests. Learn more
Promote price transparency and consumer driven care. Too often, consumers rely upon government or insurance companies to negotiate fixed prices for service. Learn more
We can help reduce insurance costs by reducing lawsuit abuse. Learn more
Not everyone needs a “Cadillac” health insurance plan. But increasingly, the Legislature is imposing more and more mandates and regulations on insurance plans, making affordable, no-frills plans hard to obtain. Let’s give consumers freedom to choose. Learn more
Medicaid’s success should not be measured by the number of enrollees in its programs. Learn more
