I am an Army Veteran, retired Educator of 28 years with The Colorado Department of Corrections (18 years as the HS Math Teacher) and Pueblo School District 60. I lived in House District 47 for 35 years. I meet my wife at college in 1985, we have been married 33 years and raised 6 children, fostered her younger brother and have taken in numerous homeless children. We sent our children to parochial school were I also served on the school board. I have coached and officiated my children at all levels of competition. I am a Conservative Republican.
  • Family rights, we have the right to send our children to any school of choice, government funding needs to follow the child. The right to choose what health care we want for our children.
  • Pro life, all unborn life has the right to live.
  • Pro 2nd amendment, No one has the right to restrict this amendment.
Land and Water issues are very important in this district, along with the reintroduction of wolves. Educational concerns that need addressing are equal funding for each school district. Our current legislation has passed numerous bills that have no funding our smaller rural towns can not absorb this debt.
All the people who support the wounded warrior program. They know the meaning of some one who gave their all for their country and they want to show support by helping out all the wounded warriors.
Truthful, honest and integrity. This will take you a long way with the people.
You were put here by the people of your district listen to them and represent them.
That the people of HD 47 remember me as a honest hard working legislator and I made them proud to call be their Representative.
I meet the pope in the Vatican 1966 I was 4 years old.
I was a fry cook for McDonalds for 4 years 1978-1982.
The Hobbit, it was the first real book I ever read and it hooked me on reading for life.
Walt Longmire Sheriff.
Billie Eilish Bad Guy
The house districts allow our rural communities a voice that they generally do not get in the senate.
No I do not. Politics should not be a career were you get rich of the people of the state or nation. To many stay in office to long and stagnate the country and state.
To stop all the progressive ideas that have come to Colorado from California. We need to get back to a more conservative state.
That the Governor listens to to the state legislators. They were voted in by their districts for a reason. The Governor should force his will or ideas on the people.
Yes it is always good to be able to communicate with other legislators to negotiate good bills.
Yes Veterans, education and agriculture.
no
no
Yes I heard that the sitting legislator claimed to be a fourth generation veteran and it turns out she is not. The people of Otero county were furious about the half truths. I learned that farmers and ranchers value honesty above all.
