Senate District 8 unites 10 counties that face varying challenges, but there is so much we can accomplish together. I will also stand up for our democracy against dangerous election conspiracy theories and intrusions on our electoral system. I am the only candidate in this race that will unequivocally support a woman’s right to reproductive health care without government interference. State legislatures across the country now decide our personal freedoms.
We can build a thriving small business economy here that fosters business growth and creates good-paying jobs. Our mountain and rural economies deserve a problem-solver that will work with them to strengthen our rural economies, like the Rural Jump-Start program I helped expand and the bills I’ve passed to cut red tape and allow businesses to keep more money and pay employees more. Thankfully, we made historic investments in public education this year - and we cannot let up now. Our public schools deserve increased support from the state legislature. Strengthening public education and rural economies I have worked with Republicans and Democrats to increase funding for our state’s water plan, stood up for farmers and ranchers, and crafted solutions that will protect our water for years to come.
We can - and should - continue leading the way in adopting policies that reduce pollution, improve our air and water quality, and enhance our economies through green energy.įurther, you can count on me to be a serious legislator for our precious water, which is under threat from Denver-area and out-of-state interests. Responding to the urgent threats of wildfire, drought, and climate change will remain a top priority of mine. Our local economies depend on snow falling in the winter, rivers running in the summer, and our cherished landscapes being protected for generations to come. Further, I stood up to Big Pharma, wrote, and passed the first-in-the-nation bill to cap the cost of insulin for every Coloradan. That’s why I wrote and passed a bill creating the Colorado Option health insurance plan a new, more affordable plan available to individuals in businesses in every Colorado county that is already proving to work. Health insurance and prescription drugs need to be more affordable.
While I am proud of the results we’ve achieved for Eagle County, there are more problems to solve and I am ready to keep working for results for our community. As one of the most bipartisan and productive members in the Colorado Legislature, I’ve written and passed bills to decrease the cost of housing and child care, protect our environment and water, help our local economies and small businesses, and make the cost of health care and prescription drugs more affordable. Much has changed since 2018, but that promise to put my constituents first has not. When I was first elected, I pledged to you that I would listen to you, take your concerns to the Capitol, and put results over politics each day. Since 2018, it has been an honor to serve Eagle County as your state representative.
You deserve a state senator who will focus on our community’s challenges and opportunities, put politics and ego aside, and strive for results that improve our region and improve people’s lives. Hello Eagle County voters! I am ready to get to work for you in the Colorado State Senate.
