I'm a strong supporter of TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of Rights) and is a volunteer with Americans for Fair Taxation. I oppose Democrat backdoor attempts to bypass TABOR by passing “fee” increases that are really tax increases. I will fight to preserve our TABOR tax refunds, and strongly opposed the tax-raising Proposition HH last year and supports efforts to reduce the ballooning property taxes hitting hard-working Coloradans.
Public safety is a core function of government, and under the Democrats in charge at the State Capitol, crime has skyrocketed. I support efforts to put criminals behind bars and keep them there. I will fight against the liberal Soros-backed judges who have flooded our communities with violent felons.
As a father of three school aged children, I'm vigilant in their safety. As your legislator, I will be a leader on policies that promote strong and effective school safety. I will stand up and fight back against far-left efforts that would put out children at risk from predators.
As a Dad of school-age kids, I know firsthand when schools are serving families well – and when they aren’t. That’s why I support great teachers and great teaching. In contrast, COVID school closures were excessive, and kids are still catching up from lost time. I believe in a “Families First” education system that is more accountable to parents, and more transparent about what our kids are being taught. I strongly support Colorado’s effective public school choice laws – including Douglas County’s many charter schools – and will stand up against liberal efforts to limit families’ choices.
I understand the importance having reliable and renewable water for a community. Colorado, the Front Range, and Douglas County are at a critical time as we grabble with growth, reduced supply, and increased pressure from neighboring states. I will be a champion of looking at all options that will secure a renewable and reliable water supply for Colorado property owners.
Republicans believe in the rights of the individual and in strong private property rights. The liberals in Denver are encroaching daily with a socialist fervor that they can and should dictate what individuals can do with their own property. I will fight back against this attack on what makes America great.
I'm a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and will oppose any attempt to restrict gun ownership with law abiding citizens. I am proud to have earned the endorsement of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.
