Public Safety - crime has increased significantly in Colorado since the legislature began its soft on crime, prioritizing criminals' rights over victims' rights several years ago. Colorado is now number one in the nation in car thefts, number two in fentanyl deaths. We need to make help available for those that need it but repeat offenders and dealers need to be off the streets. Simple legislative changes can affect change quickly resulting in safer streets and neighborhoods.

Affordability - the Colorado legislature has put policies in place that have all but shut down the issuance of new drilling permits for oil and gas, contributing to a national dependance on foreign oil and higher prices at the pump. They also have instituted fees and charges on electric providers that will cost consumers millions of dollars in higher utility bills every year, all to fund pet projects. We need to remember who we work for - the citizens of Colorado.

Parents in charge of their children's education - we need to get politics out of the classroom, let teachers teach the core competencies and give all parents options for where they send their children to be educated.
I am a knowledgeable, well educated person who can consider all sides of the issue.

I hope to bring a renewed sense of personal responsibility to the electorate.

I hope to bring a new respect and appreciation for our personal liberties.
Providing core government services while taking the least amount of taxpayers hard earned money as possible.

Protecting our environment in a responsible manner without placing our citizens and their livelihood at risk.

Providing safe and stable neighborhoods by training and adequately supporting and equipping law enforcement to deal with the very diverse situations they encounter and the decisions they must make.
Attempting to limit government to its proper domain. Obey the Constitution of the USA and Colorado
