Get StartedHD 58 deserves a representative that will protect these rights for all women – left, right, or center: to choose what they do with their bodies and their lives; to be paid equal pay for equal work; to be free from sexual harassment and sexual violence; to be safe from domestic abuse; to have full and equal educational and career opportunities.

A recent report by a western slope law enforcement agency stated that 60-80% of returning inmates are on (or should be on) antipsychotic drugs. Instead of burdening law enforcement, we need more mental health professionals to help these folks get the services they need to be productive citizens. We need more funding for co-responder programs, where both law enforcement and mental health professionals show up at the scene of a situation involving domestic violence, suicide, or substance abuse. These situations can be defused by co-responding teamwork and getting that individual to a place (other than jail) where they can get the help they need. Learn more

I believe that the future of affordable housing is in giving incentives to companies and builders who will accelerate the construction of manufactured tiny homes, tiny apartments, and 1 to 3-bedroom homes. In San Miguel County, outside Norwood, construction has begun on 27 affordable 1 to 3-bedroom manufactured homes for teachers and first responders who work in Telluride but can’t afford to live there. These home buyers will get high-efficiency appliances and financial assistance for solar roof units to help reduce their utility bills. This is just one example of an innovative idea for affordable housing. I will work tirelessly to bring more (AWFH) innovative ideas to HD58. Learn more
I will fight to solidify DACA and all the rights and freedoms of our invaluable Latinx community. Learn more
