Responsible Growth

Our mountains, open lands, ranches, and wildlife corridors make Colorado an irreplaceable place to live, play, and grow. As your representative, I vow to protect the natural resources and open vistas we love while stewarding the responsible development we need. That means housing near transit, 15-minute walkable new neighborhoods, reducing flagpole annexations and protecting natural and agricultural landscapes. It also means reining in developers who rely on Metro Districts, with their "triple dip" into the pockets of homeowners, including taxation without representation.

Sustainable Water Use

Water in our district belongs to the people who live here, including growers who have stewarded it for generations. I will oppose buy-and-dry schemes, industrial uses that take excessive water with minimal local benefit (such as data centers), and prevent sale of valuable water rights to distant cities, keeping our local water in Northern Colorado.

Attainable Housing 

Something has gone wrong with the American Dream. You work hard, but home ownership drifts further away or is becoming a financial burden, consuming more of the family paycheck. The people of HD 64 deserve better, and I’ll work to deliver it through encouraging more modest housing with lowered impact fees, streamlined permitting to speed up construction, and prevent private equity and corporate ownership of our scarce housing stock.

Paths to Prosperity

In 1978, the pay ratio between CEOs and workers was 31-to-1. Today it's close to 300-to-1. In HD 64, the farmers, tradespeople, nurses, and families deserve better. I will champion policies that give working people real financial breathing room by providing affordable childcare, reducing small business taxes, and ensuring wealthy individuals and large corporations pay their fair share.
