Campaign themes

2016

Freeburg's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Water is the lifeblood and livelihood of a large portion of HD62. Colorado has a long tradition of water rights, water court, and legal water compacts. Although we must honor the compacts, we must ensure that our water stays local as much as possible. One of the things that we can do, and still fall within the State Water Plan, is to increase our storage capacity. Without an increase in storage capacity, we will see the water in our two basins become less able to supply our needs as the water goes to compact requirements. The need to store water is paramount to starve off the effects of drought now and in the future.
  • Economic Development. Our eight county district includes 7 of the top 10 poorest counties in all of Colorado. The economic recovery that the Front Range has seen, has not found its way south of Monument Hill. This needs to change. I promise that I will put our district at the table and no longer stand by as we are ignored in the states plans for economic development. There is no reason our area cannot also enjoy the benefits of the state recruiting jobs. The state office of Economic Development has showcased the Front Range for far too long at the expense of the Valley, and Pueblo. While I don’t want to see our communities turned into the next Colorado Springs in size, I do want us to get an opportunity to showcase the wonders of our area. We have a lot to offer, 2 great Universities, a well-educated populace, and the hardest workers in all the state. It’s time those in Denver find out about our hidden gem.
  • Our schools are harming, not helping our kids. The amount of testing that happens in school today is a hindrance to learning. It is time we allow our teachers to teach, and our students to learn in a way that works for them. We need to understand that not everybody needs to go to college. There are great opportunities for highly skilled jobs that do not require a college education. Plumbers, auto mechanics, welders, farmers, ranchers, even computer programmers can all make a living in HD62 without a college degree. It is time we get out of Common Core, use our common sense, and provide for our kids an education that leads to a productive living.
  • As an Army Officer I gave an oath to my county to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Nobody has relieved me of that oath, and I promise to defend your rights as well as restore them.[1]
