Dear Neighbor –

I am extremely proud of my work securing Reproductive Rights in Colorado, fighting to hold polluters accountable to Improve Air Quality, bring about significant Family Court Reform, clamp down on Wage Theft, and keep our communities safe from Gun Violence.

On Reproductive Rights, I was the House Sponsor of both our Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA) - before Roe fell and our Shield Law protecting patients, helpers, and providers. We must pass Prop 79 to ensure fair and equitable access across Colorado. 

My Air Quality legislation has included e-bike and electric school bus grants, energy efficiency standards, enhanced Oil and Gas disclosures, gas pipeline safety, promotion of recycling, composting, and end-users of recyclable materials, among many others. 

We’ve passed three important Family Court Reform bills - but the law is not being followed. Sadly several Judges continue to order unsupervised custody for abusers and force reunification of children with their abusive parent. You may have seen some  coverage  of this terrible, ongoing crisis.

I’ve passed three bills clamping down on Wage Theft and endeavor to be a champion of Working Families.

We’ve got the nation’s best forensic systems in place thanks to a series of my bills to address “Rape Kits.” Tracking and testing bring agency and dignity to survivors and bring perpetrators to justice. 

It has been an honor to work with Senator Tom Sullivan and our Gun Violence Prevention Coalition to chair the Gun Violence Prevention Caucus. I’ve sponsored Three Day Waiting Period, Merchant Codes, and a CBI Task Force on Illegal Guns and I’ve cosponsored and championed a dozen GVP bills to put Colorado on the map as a leader in Gun Violence Prevention.
