Issues

I’m in this race because families and working people are being left behind by a system that was designed decades ago and hasn’t kept up with the realities of modern life. Let’s be honest, raising a family today is harder than it’s ever been. Retiring in Denver feels impossibly expensive, and working a minimum wage job just doesn’t cut it anymore.

I believe that we have an opportunity to take Colorado in a different direction than where the country is going. We have a chance to build a brigher future for all of us. So let’s take this opportunity and build something together!

    • Childcare should be affordable, high quality, and accessible to everyone.

    • No one should have to be on a daycare waiting list.

    • Daycare should not be the same price as a college tuition.

    • Everyone deserves paid time off and the law should guarantee it.

    • We need to get rid of the tipped minimum wage. It keeps workers earning less while working more.

    • We must strengthen laws against wage theft.

    • I will support our unions and work to reform the Labor Peace Act.

    • Too many houses in Colorado sit empty. We need to tax second and third homes owned by the richest to fund affordable housing.

    • We all lose when those at the top don’t pay their fair share. We need a graduated state income tax. This will help us pay for schools, and healthcare.

    • Teachers are forced to buy their own supplies and carry the burden of making education work. Colorado needs to fund every school.

    • 60% of Colorado’s School Districts, 14% of the kids in the state, are open only 4 days per week. We need all of our schools funded so they can be open 5 days per week.

    • The Republicans decided you don’t deserve healthcare, but we don’t have to listen. Colorado should amend TABOR to cover the gap.

    • To secure our future, every child should have access to quality healthcare through Medicaid.

    • If we cannot depend on the Federal Government, we should remake our Medicaid with that in mind. We will not allow Republicans to hold the state hostage for their games.
