Issues

I’m running because I want to make sure everyone in Colorado has the chance to make a good life for themselves and their family. Everyone volunteering with me goes out to figure out what that means to everyone in the neighborhood. We take what we hear and turn it into a path forward to build a better state tomorrow and one that lasts for years to come.

Take a look at what we’ve found so far, and if you have more thoughts, send them over. We’d love to know how to help you better.

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

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

    • And no one should pay the same as a college tuition for daycare.

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

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

    • We must strengthen laws against wage theft.

    • We must reintroduce and pass the Labor Peace Act.

    • Too many homes sit empty. We should tax vacation homes owned by the richest to fund what the people need the most.

    • The people lose when those at the top don’t pay their fair share. We should make the state income tax graduated to fix that.

    • Some schools take state money, but don’t get held to the same standards as public ones. Every school should have the same set of standards.

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

    • The Republicans decided you don’t deserve healthcare, but we don’t have to listen. Colorado should remove 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.
