What are your top three priorities, if elected?
Metro District Reform
Data Center Guardrails
Reducing housing costs
What specific actions would you support to improve affordability for Coloradans, whether aimed at housing costs, tax burdens or other impacts?
Give Metro District residents true representation and power on boards, support ability to refinance bonds, thus reducing their tax burden.
Streamline permitting and incentivize proportional impact fees for home builders, encouraging smaller, more affordable homes.
Restrict or eliminate corporate ownership of single family homes, duplexes and townhomes.
Whether your party is in the majority or minority next year, where do you see actionable common ground with the opposing party?
With a background in agriculture, those who support the minority party should back me even though I would be a member of the majority party, because I have a true Ag background and can represent their best interests from the “inside”, being seated at the table, instead of being in the opposition. I will have more influence with the majority party.
A new governor will take office next year. What opportunities are there for legislation or other changes that did not gain traction under Gov. Jared Polis?
Passing the Worker Protection Act. Supporting more clean energy. Putting some guardrails up for technology companies, AI, and Data Centers.
Scott L. Slaugh did not return the questionnaire.
