Groceries, housing, insurance...it all adds up. Government cannot fix everything, but it should stop making everyday life more expensive and start focusing on practical solutions that help families get ahead. Learn more
The rising cost of living is putting a real strain on families across Colorado Springs. Housing, insurance, groceries, and everyday expenses are stretching household budgets, and government has a responsibility to help ease that pressure with practical action that delivers real results. That starts with increasing housing supply responsibly by supporting workforce housing, allowing a wider range of housing options, and reducing unnecessary permitting delays so costs are not passed on to renters and buyers. The state can also help lower insurance costs, including homeowners and health insurance, by investing in wildfire mitigation, strengthening building standards, improving risk planning, and encouraging transparency and competition so families have real choices. Supporting resilient supply chains helps keep food costs down, while investments in roads, public transportation, and reliable internet reduce commute times and everyday expenses. Supporting job training, workforce development, and small businesses helps wages keep pace with rising prices. Coordinating state and local efforts ensures resources are used effectively and not duplicated. Reducing financial pressure is not about short term fixes. It is about steady leadership, thoughtful planning, and policies that help families afford to live, work, and build a future here. When families can get ahead, the entire community is stronger.

Public schools should not have to choose between fixing the roof and giving staff a pay raise. Keeping public dollars in public education is one of the smartest investments we can make in Colorado's future. Learn more
Investing in public education is not about politics. As Colorado faces the possibility of an economic slowdown in 2026, it is more important than ever that we remain committed to funding our public schools. Though the budget stabilization factor was repealed, it still shorted Academy School District 20 271.4 million in funding over 15 years. Our schools had to choose between repairing the roof and funding classroom resources for the students. We cannot repeat that mistake. Our schools should not be treated as a balancing tool when times get tough. Education funding is a promise to our children, our families, and our communities. Even in challenging economic moments, we must prioritize stability, protect classroom resources, and give schools the certainty they need to plan and succeed. Strong public education is not a luxury for good times. It is a foundation that helps communities weather difficult ones. Staying committed to school funding is both fiscally responsible and essential to Colorado’s long term success. Learn more

Colorado Springs is growing, and that's a good thing. But our roads, water, energy, and infrastructure should be growing with us, not trying to catch up years later. Smart planning today means fewer headaches and lower costs tomorrow. Learn more
The city's PlanCOS document, based on State Demographer data, projects the population to grow by roughly 7.6%, from an estimated 498,788 in 2025 to 536,885 by 2035. This makes well-planned infrastructure essential to a Colorado Springs. Investing in better roads, reliable public transportation, and modern internet access is about improving daily life for families, workers, and small businesses. These are not abstract projects. They affect how long our commutes take, how safely our kids get to school, how businesses operate, and whether people can fully participate in today’s economy. Well maintained roads improve safety and reduce long term repair costs. Thoughtful public transportation options help seniors, workers, and people with disabilities stay connected and independent. Reliable high speed internet is no longer a luxury. It is critical for education, health care, small businesses, and remote work. Smart infrastructure investment requires planning, accountability, and responsible use of taxpayer dollars. When we focus on practical improvements that serve real needs, we strengthen our economy, support growth, and build a community that works better for everyone. Learn more
TABOR's goal of protecting taxpayers still matters. But Colorado in 2026 is a lot different than Colorado in 1992, and our budget should reflect the state we actually live in today. Learn more
