Dear Neighbor –

Just a few short years ago, things looked a lot different. We were stuck in our homes, the COVID pandemic was raging with no end in sight, and we were all worried – about our families, our businesses, and our country.

What a difference some time makes! With the end to mask mandates for vaccinated Coloradans, we can start returning to normal – going to church, visiting stores safely, and just spending time with our families and neighbors.

We are currently in the middle of the 2024 legislative session, and I have a few very important topics that I am focusing on at the moment. 

 

• Helping Colorado’s working families and small businesses with startup loans and grants, increased child care capacity and affordability, workforce training and statewide expansion of broadband

• Leading the way in making health care more affordable by addressing runaway prescription drug costs and finding ways to increase access and lower premiums

• Fighting climate change by creating more renewable energy grants for green job creation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and taking steps now to reduce the risks of wildfires

• Increasing investments in our students, teachers and classrooms by more than 10 percent, so that when students return this fall, they’ll hit the ground running

• Making our communities safer for all, by expanding background checks and closing gun loopholes, ensuring our courts are better trained for domestic violence and child abuse cases, and helping sexual assault survivors take control of their cases

• Being a voice for our most vulnerable by improving first responder training for treating and interacting with those with disabilities.

​​

And 94 percent of what we got done for our communities was done with bipartisan support.

I know there’s still so much more we can do to help our economy grow, our families stay safe and healthy, and keep our open spaces, clean air and clean water enjoyable for all of us.

I know you have priorities too – and I work for you. So, as your State Representative, I want to hear from you. Let's find a time to connect so I can better deliver on what matters most to you.

I’m looking forward to seeing more and more of you in the community, as the Colorado Comeback continues!
