Rooted in truth. Rising for Colorado.

Colorado is a place full of opportunity, beauty, and community. Families move here to build a better life, but rising costs, growing bureaucracy, and policies disconnected from local needs are making that harder. I’m running to bring practical, accountable leadership to the State Legislature, leadership that respects parents, keeps communities safe, and rewards hard work.

These are the priorities I’m focused on and the solutions I believe will help families thrive and our communities stay strong.

Affordability and

Fiscal Responsibility

Families in Colorado are feeling the pinch everywhere. from groceries and utilities to gas, housing, and everyday expenses. Hidden fees, rising taxes, and inefficient government spending make it harder for households to get ahead and plan for the future.

I support policies that:

Cut wasteful spending and ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively
Restore transparency in government budgeting and fees
End hidden fees and policies that bypass the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR)
Lower the cost of living for families through practical solutions
Prioritize taxpayers, small businesses, and working households

Responsible government spending and affordability measures give families more breathing room, help small businesses thrive, and strengthen our communities. Coloradans deserve a government that works for them, not against them.

Stewardship and accountability ensure that every dollar is handled with integrity, protecting families and the economy alike.

Protecting Children and Parental Rights

Parents are increasingly losing visibility and influence over what their children learn and experience in school and healthcare settings. Policies across Colorado limit parental input, introduce ideologies into classrooms, and reduce family involvement in critical decisions.

I support policies that:

Ensure full transparency in school curriculum and materials
Protect parental rights in education, healthcare, and decision-making
Ensure classrooms focus on critical thinking and real academics, not ideologies
Empower families, teachers, and local communities over top-down mandates

When parents are fully involved and classrooms focus on critical thinking and academics, children thrive: confident, well-informed, and ready for life’s challenges. Communities are stronger, and families regain the trust and influence they deserve.

Children flourish when families guide their growth and values, supported, not replaced, by government.

Restoring

Law, Order, and Justice

Families in Colorado shouldn’t have to feel unsafe in their homes, workplaces, or neighborhoods. Rising crime, drug-related offenses, and gaps in law enforcement support put communities at risk. An increase in individuals living in the state in violation of immigration laws underscores the need to secure our borders and enforce the law consistently.

I support policies that:

Provide all law enforcement agencies with the training, tools, and resources needed to protect communities
Restore accountability for violent and repeat offenders
Enforce immigration and border laws effectively to keep neighborhoods safe
Prioritize victims and communities by ensuring consequences for drug-related crimes
Protect families, businesses, and communities, not criminals

When law enforcement is supported at every level and accountability is restored, families feel secure, neighborhoods thrive, and communities are stronger. Citizens can trust that justice is being served and that leaders are focused on protecting people, not overlooking crime.

Safety is a basic right, and responsible leadership ensures every Coloradan can live, work, and raise a family in secure communities.

Protecting Constitutional Freedoms

Fundamental rights, including free speech, freedom of religion, the right to live according to conscience, and the right to keep and bear arms, are essential to a free society. Recent actions at state and local levels have stretched or misapplied the law, limiting these rights and reducing accountability, transparency, and personal freedom for law-abiding Coloradans.

I support policies that:

Defend First Amendment freedoms for every Coloradan
Protect the right to live according to conscience and moral truth
Uphold the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding citizens
Push back against government overreach into homes, businesses, and communities
Restore transparency, accountability, and constitutional integrity

When constitutional freedoms are protected and government is held accountable, individuals, families, and communities can thrive. Colorado becomes a state where citizens can express their beliefs, live safely, and plan for the future with confidence.

Freedom is not just a principle, it’s the foundation for strong families, thriving communities, and a secure future.

Defending Life and

Supporting Families

Colorado currently allows broad termination of pregnancy, and the numbers show that many unborn children are lost each year. At the same time, women in crisis need practical support, resources, and options to ensure both mother and child can thrive.

I support policies that:

Protect the unborn through life-affirming measures
Provide women with strong community support and resources during a crisis pregnancy
Encourage adoption and reform foster care to ensure safe, stable homes for children
Implement family-centered solutions that help mothers and children succeed together

By supporting both life and families, Colorado can foster a culture where children are protected, women are empowered, and communities are strengthened. Families receive the care and resources they need, and children are given the opportunity to thrive.

Every life has value, and responsible leadership ensures that both mothers and children are supported with dignity and opportunity.
