When life knocks you down it is how you get back up that defines the type of person you are and who you can be. When I stood up I was given a voice that could not be silenced and a vision that we all matter. I want to continue sharing the lessons I have learned my entire life plus add the insights I have experienced these last several years to be a voice of change for the citizens of Senate District 27.

My priorities at the state capitol continue to focus on:

  • Building a healthy economy that works for all Coloradans

  • Saving Coloradans money through fee reduction and making our tax system fairer

  • Supporting small businesses

  • Protecting our communities from gun violence

  • Investing in our K-12 and Higher Education systems

  • Caring for our veterans

  • Protecting access to reproductive health care services

  • Lowering healthcare and housing costs

  • Protecting our environment and Colorado way of life

  • Transforming our behavioral health care system
