Snider's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Veterans Issues As I see it, the biggest veteran’s issues are: mental health care, substance abuse, homelessness and reintegration into society post-military service, such as finding work or obtaining advanced education or vocational training. I would be willing to support bills for veterans that help address these issues as part of a larger, comprehensive state-level program of veteran’s assistance. The governor should order a complete review of all Colorado Veterans Assistance Programs offered at every level (state, county and city) and a bill that eliminates redundancies in care and services and streamlines and simplifies applications and access to those services should be presented in the House and Senate. I will be happy to carry a bill like that in the House. Investing in Colorado Investing in the future is the only way to ensure more success. It worked in Minnesota. That’s why I support repealing this sure-fire path to failure. Guns and Public Safety I believe that the people most affected and with a direct interest in the gun rights/public safety debate should be the people solving the problem. When elected, I intend to invite Mr. Dudley Brown, Mr. Wayne LaPierre and representatives of the public, public safety agencies and public school systems throughout Colorado to a House Forum, in concert with the Senate, to publicly hash out solutions acceptable to all sides. Somewhere between everyone being fully armed and no one having any guns at all is a workable solution and it is up to all of us to find it. We owe it to our kids and Colorado. Death with Dignity No one should be more in charge of their destiny than a person who is staring prolonged, unmitigated suffering and ultimately, death, in the face. As long as one can understand the consequences of their choice, and an informed, affirmative choice to die and the ability to revoke that choice until the moment of effect is preserved for the terminal patient, a right to gracefully transition to the life-beyond-life with the assistance of a qualified physician should be legal.[5] |
