Campaign themes

2016

Kelly's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Environment: Earth’s climate crisis is real and is already having profound impact on everything from weather patterns to national security. With nearly 20 years experience as a senior manager with the Environmental Protection Agency, Jeff understands the challenges our planet faces and will be prepared on day one to offer substantive solutions to combat climate change. Taking immediate and decisive action, Jeff will hold oil and gas companies accountable and demand they make serious efforts to offset their contribution to the state’s greenhouse gas emissions as well as pay their fair share in taxes.
  • Campaign finance reform: Jeff co-founded CleanSlateNow with the late Sen. Ken Gordon to bring real campaign finance reform in Colorado. Jeff has not only pledged to reject all PAC and Special Interest money - he has proudly accepted Colorado’s voluntary campaign spending limits. His campaign is run by dedicated volunteers. As your Representative, he will fight to bring a proven system of public financing of campaigns to our state and make Colorado a leader in campaign finance reform. Jeff is a fierce advocate for campaigns to overturn Citizen’s United, - and Colorado citizens voted 74% in favor of Amendment 65, which rejected the notorious ruling that approved limitless campaign contributions and expenditures.
  • Government spending and TABOR: Crafting a balanced spending plan – which avoids draconian cuts to state programs during economic downturns – requires meaningful amendments to or the overturning of TABOR, the so-called Taxpayers Bill of Rights. Far from protecting the rights of taxpayers, TABOR ties the hands the Legislature and deprives Colorado citizens of their right to a representative government. Jeff will partner with his legislative colleagues to preserve real taxpayer protections and return power to the people through their duly elected leaders.
  • Education: I stand with teachers, education professionals, students, and their families. We must put our children above profits and say NO to the corporate special interests that threaten our way of life.
  • LGBTQ: You know you can always count on me to do whatever I can to help ensure the civil and human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to live a fulfilling life, free from discrimination and harassment.[1]
