- AFFORDABILITY CRISIS - PUTTING FAMILIES FIRST
As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I know firsthand how government policies affect families and job creators. If I were starting the successful business I built years ago, today’s taxes, red tape, and regulatory burdens would make success nearly impossible. Priorities:
Defend TABOR and voter-approved limits
Stop new taxes, hidden fees, and unfunded mandates
Reduce regulations that increase housing and business costs
Lower utility and energy bills for families and job creators
We must audit all government programs to identify waste, fraud, and abuse. Anyone collecting taxpayer money fraudulently should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. - DEFENDING THE 2ND AMENDMENT & OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS As the owner of one of Colorado’s largest family-owned firearms businesses, and a Second Amendment activist, I believe any restriction on the right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional infringement. Priorities: Protect the Second Amendment and self-defense rights Oppose any bans or restrictions on lawful owners Focus enforcement on criminals, not responsible citizens Fight at the Capitol to stop infringements on your rights
- PUBLIC SAFETY, SCHOOL SECURITY AND PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN, NO BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS Nothing matters more than the safety of our communities and our children. As a father, business owner, and friend to sheriffs statewide, I stand with law enforcement, families, and children. Priorities: Support sheriffs, police, and first responders Strengthen school security and emergency preparedness Ensure consequences for violent and repeat offenders Protect victims’ rights and defend our children from radical policies PARENTAL RIGHTS & EDUCATION Parents — not politicians — should guide their children’s education and values. As a father of two with a third on the way, I know the importance of family-led decision-making.
