My life experience has taught me that every person deserves a shot at success and happiness regardless of their race, gender identity, religion, sexuality, or class. I am a father and husband, a Latino, an Asian Pacific Islander, an Air Force Reservist, a democratic activist, and an attorney in Denver. I grew up in Colorado Springs in a working-class home. My dad is from Guam, and my mom is from Puerto Rico. They moved to Colorado in search of opportunity. My dad served in the Army for 26 years, and my mom worked various jobs, ranging from stocking grocery shelves to working as a union meat cutter. They taught me that hard work, gratitude, and service are the path to an honorable life. I studied hard and, at 18, earned admission to the Air Force Academy, deployed four times, and used the GI Bill to go to law school. Now, I am raising my two young boys with my wife in Denver while practicing law. Outside of my legal work, I have advocated for important Democratic issues, helped lead non-profits, assisted veterans and individuals in protecting their rights, and helped at-risk youth develop plans for a successful future.
  • Making Affordable Housing a Reality: Like everyone in Denver, I have seen the crippling effects of increased housing costs and rising rents. I will work to stabilize rents, make it easier to buy your first home and ensure older adults are not priced out of their homes.
  • Addressing the Rising Cost of Living: Inflation and stagnant wages have made too many Coloradans unable to afford the basics. I believe in supporting policies that will alleviate the rising cost of living and give everyone a better shot at succeeding.
  • Fighting the Climate Crisis: Climate change is here, and we see its effects on Colorado increasing every year. I will ensure we speed up our transition to renewable energy and invest in conservation efforts to protect our land, air, and water for future generations.
I am pro-choice, pro-labor, pro-environment, pro-gun violence prevention, and pro-civil rights, including protecting the rights of my LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors, protecting reproductive rights, and fighting for equity and inclusion at every opportunity.
Humility: I believe humility is the ability to own up to mistakes, welcome feedback, understand limitations, and acknowledge others’ work. I believe that legislators must lead with humility to work with others, separate their responsibilities as policymakers from their egos, and get things done.

Coalition building: Fostering professional relationships and trust is critical to productively working with others. I pride myself on my ability to build coalitions and listen to others. We can accomplish far more when we work together.

Policy Knowledge: Through my advocacy and legal career, I have developed a deep understanding of the issues. One must know the issues to solve them and understand the law to change them. In my legal career, I have helped clients navigate the intersection of law, politics, and public policy, and I will bring this experience with me to the legislature.
Technically, my first job was helping my mom stock commissary shelves when I was a kid. After school and sports practice, I would head to the store to join her in moving what seemed like endless boxes onto the shelves. There was always so much to do there, and it often took a family effort to finish what had to be done for the day. When I think about my campaign slogan, “Together We Can,” those afternoons and evenings helping my mom always come to mind.
My most recent favorite is The Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell. Despite my long career in the Air Force, it has helped me make more sense of my time in the military. Even in a culture where things are rigid and structured, there is still room to create change that can make a difference in the world and alter the status quo.
We are seeing an influx of new residents and business interests in Colorado, which has led to rapid development and strains on our housing supply, public education system, and infrastructure. The state must plan smartly and carefully to accommodate this growth in a sustainable manner that prioritizes long-term benefits over short-term solutions.
I believe that building relationships with other legislators is critical to being effective and impactful. Without them, policymakers will fail to represent their constituents to the best of their ability. Due to my history of involvement with the Democratic Party, I have many existing relationships with current policymakers in both chambers and always welcome the opportunity to forge new ones. No one can legislate alone.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Colorado

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.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.

Below you can find the scorecards found for the Colorado General Assembly in 2025.
