I began participating in our political process shortly after High School, helping to fulfill my passion, getting involved, and leading in my community. After setting my personal and career goals to serve people, I attended the Metropolitan University of Denver, earning a B.S in Political Science with a Public Affairs minor. When asked why I’ve chosen the path of politics, my explanation is simple: “It’s the greatest way to help people.” In short, that is the reason I am running to represent my hometown community.
- Education - Education is my top priority. Our children are the foundation of our community. I will fight for them by: Funding students, not systems Getting back to the basics of reading, writing and math Raise teacher pay and eliminate wasteful administrative costs
- Crime - We cannot sit idly by as crime ravages our state. Our elected leaders have failed Colorado by putting criminals back onto the street. I will keep our communities safe by: Reforming bail bonds to keep violent criminals out of our community Overhauling sentencing laws to keep Colorado families safe Fully funding law enforcement and pushing back against anti-police rhetoric
- The Economy and Jobs - Businesses across Colorado have struggled over the last few years. Colorado’s leaders must get out of the way and allow the entrepreneurial spirit of Colorado to thrive. I will work to ensure Colorado’s economy bounces back stronger than ever by: Cutting red tape and needless government intervention Combatting the rising cost of living by lowering taxes and fees Enhancing workforce development across the state Protect TABOR
