Issues
Hullinghorst provided answers to the Colorado State Legislative Election 2008 Political Courage Test. The test provides voters with how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected. When asked his legislative priorities she replied:
"My top three legislative priorities include (1 ensuring universal access to health care, including mental health; (2 providing quality educational opportunities and support services to all Colorado children - early childhood through college and 3) providing a strong framework for environmental protection and energy sustainablilty. To adequately fund these efforts and invest again in Colorado's infrastructure, the legislature will need to take a variety of tax increase reform measures to Colorado citizens, including comprehensive reform of TABOR (Tax Payers' Bill of Rights)."[2]
