Candidate Connection

Carmen Broesder completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Broesder's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

  • Farms & Water Protect Colorado’s land and water by keeping them in local hands. That means supporting family farms and ranches, strengthening farmer-owned and water-user cooperatives, and enforcing strong anti-monopoly protections so out-of-state corporations cannot drain our resources or price locals out. Clean water, healthy soil, and food security are not optional. Truthfully, they are the foundation of Colorado’s future.
  • Families Ensure families can stay in the communities they call home. That means reopening and stabilizing rural hospitals, protecting clinics from private-equity shutdowns, and guaranteeing reasonable access to urgent and emergency care across the state. You matter, no matter your ZIP code.
  • Freedom Defend Colorado’s right to govern itself and the rights of every person in the state. That means rejecting mass detention, forced institutionalization, and the seizure or closure of care facilities under the guise of efficiency, profit, or federal pressure. Colorado solutions should be made by Coloradans. This is not about left versus right. It is about whether people can live, work, and raise families in Colorado without fear. Colorado does not need to be “saved” by outsiders. It needs to be protected by people who live here, love it, and are willing to do the work.I plan to work with local leaders and residents in every district by helping each community build solutions that reflect their land, their needs, and their freedom.
I am deeply focused on building resilient systems that protect everyday Coloradans: rural healthcare access, cooperative economic development, water and food security, housing stability, disaster preparedness, and civil liberties. I am passionate about policies that strengthen local economies, reduce long-term public costs, and expand access without expanding bureaucracy. I also care strongly about due process, disability rights, and ensuring that government power is exercised carefully, transparently, and with meaningful public input.
