What are your top three priorities, if elected?
Lower cost of living, cut regulations for oil and gas and homebuilders, pass a balanced budget.
What specific actions would you support to improve affordability for Coloradans, whether aimed at housing costs, tax burdens or other impacts?
I would like to cut regulations on homebuilders and help streamline permitting processes to free up some of the financial and legal burdens affecting availability of new homes. With more supply to balance out the demand should also help with lowering housing costs.

Restrictions on flock cameras and data centers. Prioritizing water and agriculture/agritourism. Lowering housing costs. Healthcare and rural healthcare access.
