Get StartedI am 100% Pro-Life. My family has been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of the unborn. On top of informing voters about Colorado’s disastrous pro-abortion stances, I have spent dozens of hours at the Colorado State capitol testifying on multiple right to life bills including the Life at Conception bill. My family has regularly attended Colorado’s Right to Life March in downtown Denver and gathered signatures for the “Due Date to Late, End Late Term Abortion” petition. Learn more
It was just announced last year that in Colorado the expected wait time to get an office visit at the VA is 18 days which is 4x higher than the national average. Throughout the 13 hospitals and clinics that make up the Eastern Colorado Health Care System, the average wait for a primary care appointment as of July 1, 2018 was more than 12 days. Only Amarillo, Texas, and Palo Alto, Calif. — both smaller than ECHCS — were worse. This is unacceptable! As your State Representative I will be an advocate for homeless Colorado veterans and hope to assist vets to get off our streets through reintegration initiatives with our local communities.

I support school choice and vouchers. I believe that one of the of the most effective ways to fight racial and income inequalities is to have a voucher system. We need to allow parents to have access to the best educational option for their specific child’s needs. Under a voucher system, public schools will still get first shot at enrollment in most family scenarios. As long as they are performing at the level that is needed to keep our children at the highest standards possible, vouchers would go widely unused. Theoretically, only a small portion would be interested in private, charter, parochial, or home school options. I will always back educational freedom that opens the market, levels the playing field, lets competition thrive, and adheres to state budgeting. Learn more
I support all law-abiding citizens being able to protect their family with a firearm equal to or better than the one being used illegally against them. I recommend all CO residents take a CCW course and spend time regularly honing their first line of defense. I am in favor of keeping firearms securely protected from our children at all times. It is beyond time to take action to protect our children in school with highly trained tactical safety professionals and reduced entry/exit points just like we protect our elected officials. I have testified at the Colorado State capitol to repeal the unconstitutional magazine limit and submitted testimony urging a NO vote on Colorado’s ERPO/Red Flag gun confiscation bill. Learn more
I am a large proponent of supporting Federal authorities in protecting our community. Democratic Colorado lawmaker’s recent actions in attempting to create a ‘Sanctuary State’ statute is in direct defiance of Federal law and downright criminal. Any jurisdiction that harbors undocumented immigrants or allows immigration with expired visas is breaking Federal Laws, specifically 8 U.S. Code § 1324. Learn more
Since 2007, Colorado has gained over 800,000 people yet state spends less on roads per person than it did back then. This has now put Colorado over a decade behind on our infrastructure needs. It is imperative that your elected officials find more funding within our current budget and allocate those funds directly to our roads, bridges, highways that you and I use daily. We also need to start monitoring the costs of funding and subsidizing mass transit and commuter bike lanes which over 90% of the Colorado population do not use. Learn more
I have taken the Colorado Union of Taxpayers pledge to uphold TABOR when elected next fall. I will not violate the constitution and will not vote for any bill that requires a fee or tax increase without the public’s vote. Under TABOR, Coloradans have the ability to set state fiscal policy through the ballot box and while under TABOR, state government has grown only slightly. I believe that having smaller government is always the best option, and that authority for making decisions about the level of taxation and spending should fall exclusively with those paying into the system.
