Get StartedI strongly believe in promoting renewable energy, energizing our transportation and buildings sectors, and overall improving the sustainability of our society. I appreciate the strong leadership of the Colorado Energy Office, nonprofits like Conservation Colorado, and of my colleagues in our continual push to take climate action for the benefit of our pocket books, our health, and of our future safety and wellness in the face of climate change.

I strongly believe in advancing commonsense measures to prevent gun violence. Firearms in our communities lead to too injuries and deaths each year to stand by and not take action. I’ve supported measures to increase training to receive a concealed carry permit, to require safer storage of firearms in vehicles, regulate firearm dealer licensing, requiring a waiting period to acquire a firearm, increase the minimum age to purchase a firearm, and expanding the list of individuals eligible to file an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO). I also had the pleasure of advancing a policy to further change the culture about where we ought to bring a firearm. Learn more
I strongly believe in taking actions to promote community wellness. For example, I worked closely with residents of Superior and surrounding areas as they cried out for change with the many flights over their homes from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. While much of this matter is federally regulated, I took their perspective into the policy-making process and stakeholded ideas with the aviation industry to understand how we could create better outcomes for my community. I also took ideas from a national health conference back to Colorado to use federal funding to provide for those who need transitional housing. I will continue to work to improve public health.

Similar to the public health space, I know and understand the health care industry from my background advising Congressmen and Governors. This meant I have a close relationship to various nonprofits that continue to promote affordability and accountability from our insurance companies, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry. I continue to work with these great partners to advance important concepts to protect working families from high health care costs. Learn more
It’s important that government is streamlined so that public tax dollars are utilized in the most effective manner. I stand by our government agencies as they bring forward ideas that can better connect departments, foster better working relationships, and overall improve the timeliness of government operations.

I stand by our working families as our advancing economy means that often certain workers are left behind. I will work with unions, hardworking people, and marginalized communities to ensure fair wages, smart educational opportunities for advancement, and equity for those who would be exploited with the threat of deportation, intimidation, and wage theft.
