Is there any aspect of the Colorado or El Paso County Democratic Party platforms that you do not agree or align with?
The County and State Platforms are reasonable starting places for legislating.
What single issue/problem/situation will you address first if elected and how will you do it in the context of the position you will serve in?
Sponsoring legislation to sustainably develop attainable and affordable housing. As a state senator I will take a holistic approach to achieving this goal. We need to address rising homeowners’ insurance costs and property tax.
