Why are you running? To restore the voice of the people in HD40 to our State House. I am sick of politics as usual.
What the top three challenges facing Colorado or the institution you seek to represent? We need to find a way to conserve water as a state. We need to take the lead in the market and research of renewable energy. We need to make sure all of our citizens have adequate healthcare and access to education.
What is your top priority in the next session if you should win? First I will address our election system. If we do not have a system that is acecsible, accurate and verifiable we will not get leaders concerned with the needs of the people.
What proposal in the last session did you oppose the most? Nothing stands out as anything I need to voice a concern about. I was more opposed to the vetoing of good bills that passed.
What proposal in the last session did you agree with the most? Senate Bill 1, which would have allowed us to band with other states and bring down the cost of prescription drugs.
