Experience:
What are your top three priorities, if elected?
1. Economic Opportunity and Affordability:
Creating pathways to the middle class through good-paying jobs, workforce development, housing affordability, and economic mobility. Building systems where hard work leads to stability and opportunity for working families.
2. Housing and Cost of Living:
Increasing housing affordability through a balanced approach that expands housing supply, supports attainable homeownership, and helps families stay in the communities where they work.
3. Protect our Colorado Way of Life:
Our Colorado way of life is rooted in both our freedoms and our connection to community and the outdoors. Protecting that quality of life means preserving our parks and open spaces, being responsible stewards of our environment, and safeguarding our clean air and water.
What specific actions would you support to address residents’ affordability concerns and to increase the availability of housing in your county?
We need to invest in housing people can afford. This means creating new housing, as well as making affordable housing repairs and home ownership possible.
What specific opportunities do you see for collaboration with Denver or state government to take on common challenges?
As the Federal Government continues to cut funding to critical programs like the EPA that protects our clean air and water, and essential programs like Medicare and Medicaid, we will have to collaborate with the State of Colorado to ensure as many resources as possible are available. Folks count on us to keep our communities safe; in the current environment, stabilizing communities in Colorado will require tremendous effort by all of us.
