- NW Colorado is the best place to raise a family, but costs are pushing people away. I get asked a lot about coal miners losing their jobs. It’s another example of families in NW Colorado being sacrificed by Front Range politicians. A simple thing we can do to ease the burden for everyone, coal miner, teacher, rancher, or anyone, is strive for more affordability. We must decrease government spending, increase your control over your own finances, and repeal the 8-cent gas increase that they tried to hide from you. I want more kids to have the beautiful childhood that mine are having without their parents wondering how they will buy groceries. Make this a place of opportunity.
- In a rural district, we need a voice who can be a voice for rural issues. Farming, ranching, water, forest management, energy, and tourism are what makes this district tick. State leadership has vocally and actively tried to boycott our local meat and energy jobs, take water rights from property owners, and introduce wolves without a way to manage them on the Western Slope. No representative should try to remove or destroy the work of their constituents. They should stand up and be a voice, empowering you to run your own life.
- Mothers should not be forced by politicians to send their kids to failing or unsafe schools, or schools that don’t line up with their values. The best decisions for your child are made at your kitchen table, because you love and know your child better than politicians and bureaucrats. Children are not all the same, so education cannot be one-size-fits-all. Our focus must be re-centered on meeting the needs of children. In Colorado, only 55% of our school funding goes toward instruction, so we can rearrange our budget, increase teacher pay, and allow school choice without raising taxes on struggling families. The money must follow the child, not the system.
1. Housing scarcity--This has a few causes, and one is over-regulation. I knew a family who decided to try a tiny home for sustainability, but it was too difficult to find legal ways to park it. If our workforce cannot afford housing here, we will not succeed as a community!
2. Childcare--I recently spoke with a provider who is closing her in-home childcare. 8 working families will lose their childcare as a result! We have odd regulations on infant care, like the rule that you must keep a sleeping infant in a crib. That caused many to stop taking infants into care, because the baby can't sleep on the go in a stroller or sling while older kids play outside. The restrictions on childcare should serve to protect the child, the provider, and the parents, but are not always currently serving that purpose. Closing in-home, licensed childcare centers has had a domino effect on our economy.
Frankenstein was a scientist who discovered the secret to creating life. He got so caught up in the thrill of the science and irresponsibly created a man. The man was hideous and had no place in the world; all who looked upon him turned away. He experienced loneliness, bewilderment, and rejection. Frankenstein struggled deeply with not understanding his responsibility to his creation. I won't spoil it for you!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
We are pushing out agriculture.
We are shutting down local energy.
I was there the night our district was formed. While others got up to try and skew the facts and gerrymander, I instructed many to get up and simply describe our community to help the committee get an accurate picture of who we are. We brought up agriculture, public lands, geographical features, energy, tourism, ski mountains, and everything else that makes this district special.
This is unacceptable in a land as beautiful and prosperous as ours. A mother should be able to provide for her children.
