I'm Kyle Witter. I was born in Iowa and moved to Colorado at 8 years old. I grew up in Fort Collins, went to Colorado State University and graduated with a degree in Journalism and Media Communication in 2020. I moved to Denver in July 2023. I work in media for a weather news network. I also work in theaters in Northern Colorado and am a rideshare driver. When I'm not working or kayaking in Colorado’s great waterways, I enjoy gaming and watching great shows. Other interests are filmmaking, railfanning and planespotting.
  • Health Care Policy and Financing: I want to work to ensure that no one has to worry about the cost of going to the emergency room or seeking emergency mental healthcare. Our insurance system needs to be overhauled to encourage competition in the healthcare space, thus lowering costs for people while ensuring quality healthcare.
  • Public Transit and Infrastructure: I understand the importance and necessity of public transit and would work to expand accessibility to Colorado’s public transit, and to promote the spread of public transit facilities and infrastructure. At the same time, I believe the sense of personal freedom that comes with owning a vehicle will always be a part of American culture. I want to work to hold CDOT accountable to responsibly use our tax dollars to maintain and expand our public highways and bridges, while at the same time ensuring that the agency has the resources they need to carry out that mission.
  • Public Assistance Programs: I’ve been on the receiving end of some public assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security/Disability. These programs can be lifesavers for people who really need them. I’ve been fortunate to be able to get off of most of these programs, so I understand how helpful they can be. While any program like this can be abused, I want to ensure that the people who really need these forms of assistance can get what they need, while at the same time providing other resources so that they can eventually leave these programs. “Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.”
I've always been interested in the issue of how to properly maintain our state's road and transportation infrastructure, while at the same time following the spirit of fiscal responsibility that TABOR embodies.
I believe that elected officials must be accountable to the people and that they must always work in the best interest of the people who elected them, and not special interest groups who don't represent the best interest of the people.
As far as events that you would read about in a history book, I think 9/11 is the first thing that I remember and paid attention to. I was 8 years old. I was never really exposed to news or paid attention to events before that.
My first job was at a Taco Bell restaurant. I held that job for about 14 months.
"Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot. I loved Switchfoot growing up, and have recently gotten back into listening to them.
I think housing availability and affordability, cost of living and our transit and transportation capacity are our state's greatest challenges over the next decade.
Not necessarily, one's political career has to start somewhere and I think local and state government is a great starting point.
Absolutely, this is one of the most important parts of working across the aisle. Relationships with other legislators can make passing necessary legislation easier and it can give one different perspectives when crafting legislation.
I believe in not living outside of one's means and keeping to a balanced budget. Necessities and bills should come before other expenditures, and I think that these principles carry over into the public sphere.
