Greetings, I have lived in the Colorado Rockies for nearly 8 years now, I spent 8 years in the US Marines and 2.5 working for the NCA. I am currently a political Science Student at CU Boulder
  • Fire Safety, up here in the Rockies we know the constant danger that fire presents yet we have directed federal money meant for local firefighters to a pool of money that is treated like a grab bag by other departments. I want to fix this poorly worded statue and direct the PILT money to our local Fire Departments that they deserve.
  • Public Safety, there have been plenty of legitimate concerns expressed about the aggression and militarization of America's police. I want to see our police receive the training they need not focused on marksmanship but rather in deescalation and situational control.
  • Financial safety, when I was in the Marines we had a situation where tens of thousands of dollars was being spent on auto repairs following Recruiters hitting deer. Several ideas were kicked around including dash cams and punishments. I suggest we buy some deer whistles for the cars and see if the number went down, by the next year we only had one accident involving a deer and had thousands to fund other projects. The Government is playing with our money and they need to treat it that way.
I am passionate about policy concerning Fire safety and Environmental conservation, my time in the Marines has given me a passion for policies concerning veterans care and general public safety. I loved the feeling of defending the rights and freedoms of my fellow citizens and I want to do that now from Governmental overreach. I am passionate about making this machine start working again, stripping away redundancies and maximizing the efficiency of the Government that we need
