Campaign themes
2014
Dinges' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[8]
| “ | As a candidate for Colorado State Senate, I would like to help to empower the citizens of Colorado to build a better state. I will use my skills learned from the Colorado School of Mines and as a Professional Engineer in the transportation industry to move Colorado forward. Having worked last fall on the flood repair on US 34 from Estes Park to Loveland, I saw first hand the power of nature, and the significant effort required to rebuild after flood. Currently transportation is a big issue for the State of Colorado, as part of the legislature I will work to pass new laws and reform existing laws to improve the movement of goods, people and vehicles statewide.[9] | ” |
