Matt Burcham completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Burcham's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will never vote to raise taxes or fees on hardworking Coloradans and their businesses. Unfortunately, property taxes have recently skyrocketed in Colorado, and particularly in Douglas County. I support across the board reductions on property tax assessment rates and caps on all future increases. Our state government needs to be a better steward of existing taxpayer dollars, and not attempt to grow on the backs of homeowners and businesses.
- U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Colorado as the 3rd most dangerous state in the country, due in large part to the massive rise in property crimes. That is simply unacceptable. I am fully committed to ensuring that our law enforcement agencies have the tools, resources, training and personnel necessary to keep our neighborhoods and our schools safe.
- As a free market capitalist, I believe economic growth is best achieved with the government out of the way. I believe we must remove the government-imposed barriers that inhibit the ability of businesses to grow, thrive and innovate. We need to create a stable economic environment with a state government that works with businesses, not against them. If we can lower the cost of living, reduce taxes, improve workforce development and enhance public safety, Colorado will become more attractive to businesses looking to relocate.
