When floods ravaged Colorado in 2013, Lisa deployed to help the communities recover. Witnessing firsthand the immense destruction and pain, she has dedicated her efforts to promoting climate resilient policies. Most recently, in 2021, Lisa responded to the Marshall Fires and raised almost $70,000 with her colleague to help fund basic needs for affected people.
Lisa’s dedication extends beyond the borders of Colorado. Lisa has deployed to various regions around the world delivering medical supplies to the front lines, assisting in evacuation and medical care of refugees, including Ukraine, Greece, and Nepal. Locally, she helped run a refugee shelter in Denver for Venezuelan migrants and staged multiple clothing collection drives.
Lisa graduated from Colorado State University, where she worked as a Veterans Transition Counselor as well as an Intensive Case Manager, helping older adults receive proper healthcare services.
Lisa is married to her partner, Eli, who she met volunteering and is also a veteran. They have a 5 year old lab and recently welcomed their baby Elizabeth to the world in 2023!- Housing:
Lisa has demonstrated success in promoting housing equity and accessibility. She believes the best ideas and policies come from communities and organizations working together. By supporting smart transit-based, co-housing, and grant allocations for home repairs, we can create a safer and stronger community. She will move forward on these goals through community partnerships, streamlined collaboration of resources and by reducing barriers to building affordable housing.
Lisa supports ideas such as:
Home-sharing programs Micro-loans and first-time homebuyer programs Transit-oriented development Simplifying zoning requirements and fast-tracking permitting
Early interventions to keep people housed rather than be reactive - Healthcare: Lisa’s experience spans direct case management to state-level policy making through nonprofit, government and medicaid programs. She has worked in nursing homes, hospitals, and community-based settings to help people remain in their homes and receive proper healthcare. She has piloted and expanded programs to transition people from institutions to communities. Lisa brings ground level perspective and experience to create more effective and efficient programs to our community so we can spend our tax dollars wisely on social programs by: Building up community-based programs Stronger transitional support from hospitals and nursing homes to the community Preventative care coverage Supporting providers Simplifying system process
- Safety and Emergency Management: Lisa’s unique background as a Military Police Woman, Emergency management spaces spans from responding to floods and fires in Colorado to deploying internationally to war-torn Ukraine and working in refugee camps. She has advocated for smart public safety programs and climate-forward solutions such as: Promoting local mitigation efforts Planning for more fire and flood resilient developments Developing community preparedness programs. Expanding co-responder programs to ensure people are able to get the help they need to mitigate the low-level crime in the community. Increasing both inpatient and outpatient mental health programs and services
I also believe elected officials must be honest and direct, even if the opinion being expressed isn't popular. There is a way to do this in a respectful way, but it is important to me that people know my values and views rather than avoiding answers.
It is really helpful in understanding different perspectives across the country and why people are the way they are.
We.can.do.better.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
