"Growing up in the Communist Bloc country of Belarus, I know only too well what living in an authoritative dictatorship looks like, and how precious an opportunity it is for citizens to vote and actively engage in their political governance. As a newly naturalized U.S. citizen (as of September 2019), I feel especially fortunate to be able to participate in our democracy by running for office myself as a Democrat for Colorado State Senate, SD-23.
I promise to run a vigorous campaign, bringing my record of service and leadership skills to the greater mission of protecting Colorado's natural environment, improving the health and well-being of our residents, adequately funding K-12 and higher education, and championing progressive legislation that maintains our high quality of life." - Dr. Galina Nicoll
- Support all relief measures for mitigating the effects of COVID-19 pandemic - including paid medical care, tax extensions, and mental healthcare resources - to protect our employees and make small businesses whole during this time of economic distress
- Champion progressive legislation to protect Colorado's natural environment: clean up air, soil and water pollution - including shifting away from fracking and toward green industries, such as industrial hemp, solar and wind, etc. - and better the health and well-being of our residents
- Spearhead legislative measures to protect the dignity of our working families and protect the future of our education by increasing the childcare tax credit and pressuring legislators to refer a Constitutional amendment to CO residents to amend TABOR, in order to adequately fund our education
