I am happy with who I am
"If ever" by Paula Fuga and Jack Johnson
Life is a gift, struggles and successes build your character. I am very happy with my character.
To have common goals and doing what public servants are suppose to do, represent the people.
Affordability - Building a strong economy
You have to have balance in a government to successful represent the people. If a government is unicameral it is not supporting all the people. Colorado has to get back its balance of governance.
No, I believe to be a good legislator you have to be in tune with the people you represent.
Yes, it is necessary to build positive relationships with all legislators you work with. Knowing a person helps you understand they way they think and what their passions are.
Aligning communities with commonalities.
