Collapse all
|I co-produced, directed and wrote the film Strong Sisters: Elected Women in Colorado which tells the unique story of the impact of women on Colorado's political history from 1893 to the present. I have been in the Legislature for two terms and proud of our accomplishments over the last four years. My areas of interest have been working families and addressing climate change.
I am proud to have served as our Majority Caucus Co-Chair and on our Transportation and Local Government and Energy and Environment Committees.- Climate change is real and we need to take bold, actionable, and measurable steps to address this crisis. In addition, all Coloradans deserve clean air, land and water. Environmental work needs to be centered in environmental justice.
- Colorado's workers and families should be able to count on access to housing, food, public education, opportunities for advancement, and healthcare. Mental Health should be treated on a par with physical health. Reproductive Healthcare is healthcare and that includes the full range of reproductive services including abortion.
- We must work towards equity and inclusion in everything we do. We must seek to dismantle systemic racism, sexism and homophobia.
I am passionate about combatting climate change and working to preserve and protect Colorado's air, land and water.
Integrity.
I worked as a babysitter, nanny and summer school teacher's aide as well as a lifeguard to earn money.
Energy and Environment Committee is where all major legislation addressing Climate Change pass through and that has been a challenge and a privilege.

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.
