Robert Bowen was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 38 of the Colorado House of Representatives. He ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2014.

Campaign themes

2016

Bowen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Living Wage

  • As your State Representative:
  • I will support legislation to put a measure on the ballot to raise Colorado’s minimum wage to $15.00 per hour, phased in over three years. That legislation would continue having Colorado’s minimum wage automatically adjusted annually for inflation. However, the formula must be adjusted to accurately account for actual cost of living such as housing, food, and utilities in each of several areas in the state. Housing costs vary by location and no one-size-fits-all approach is equitable. The wage for workers earning tips should also be adjusted.

Equal Pay

  • As your State Representative:
  • I will make sure that equal pay for equal work is a reality, not just the law. Equal pay applies to women athletes as well. I will examine the loopholes in existing law that allow women to be paid less than men, and plug those loopholes. I support legislation introduced this session by Democrats to require equal pay for equal work in all state contracts.

Child Care

  • As your State Representative:
  • I will work with state agencies to make sure laws governing child care centers are being enforced to protect our children.

Small Business

  • As your State Representative:
  • I will support legislation giving Colorado small business owners a preference when awarding contracts for goods and services.

Working Persons

  • As your State Representative:
  • I will support legislation which ensures safety in the workplace.[1]
 ”
—Robert Bowen[2]

2014

Bowen's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]

Tax Increment Financing

  • Excerpt: "I support the efforts of citizens who are currently circulating a petition to place a measure on the ballot to require voter approval before the appointed LIFT Board can proceed with an urban renewal project."

Voting Rights

  • Excerpt: "I support the expansion of voting rights to all eligible voters. I believe government should make voting easy and accessible in order to get all voters to the polls."

Education

  • Excerpt: "I will make sure that education from pre-school through college is a priority of the state legislature and that every child in Colorado has the same opportunity for a quality education."
