“Working Americans live pay check to pay check, living on the financial precipice, overloaded with debt and crushed by inflation and threatened by crime. We need a voice for the majority in the middle in our State Capital to balance the competing interests and focus on common sense solutions instead of strident ideology. We should not tip the scales too far in any direction and keep things fair and just for everyone.”
“The first rule of economics is that scarcity is real. The first rule of politics is to ignore the first rule of economics. I will not ignore economics or common sense. We need to spend our tax dollars judiciously on real priorities to help those really in need and prevent taxes from growing faster than inflation. We need new political leaders grounded in the reality of our difficult and complex lives willing to make the difficult choices of what government should do and what it should not.”
“Our government should preserve our TABOR refunds and stop trying to trick us like they did in proposition HH. We need to maintain local control of our land use code to preserve the character of our neighborhoods and limit the housing density to where it is most appropriate. We need to support our police and maintain cash bail to reduce theft and keep repeat offenders locked up. Our Healthcare system is financially at risk, we must act now to work WITH hospitals and doctors on cost control, not against them, and not let government take over the system like would happen with the so called Medicare for all. Our students are falling behind in their test scores so we need to keep our focus, and our money, on what happens inside the classroom and protect the existence of charter schools.”
“Our politics is far too divisive with too much acrimony. Families can’t even talk to each other anymore. I can bring the voice of common sense and civility back to our State government to get to work on real solutions that our citizens deserve, and that is why I’m running for State House district 52”.
