I'll continue to fight for our schools.
We don't ever want to create an environment where people are afraid of their own local police officers.
When people pay taxes, they are buying a service and benefit for their community. Colorado Tax Tracks shows taxpayers what they pay and what they buy for their money.
Every day, I am blessed by the goodness in our country and the kindness and the generosity of the American people. We share a deep love for this place and a gratitude for the contributions we each make.

Being honest means being forthright about information, no matter how painful disclosing that information might be.
I am honored to have the support of so many Coloradans across our state.
I do not like negative attacks.
Immigration is a federal issue. The failing of Washington to implement an immigration system that works for our families and our businesses - it's Washington's failure. For us locally in Colorado, it's really important that all people here feel comfortable with their local law enforcement.
I grew up in a family that was committed to service, to reaching out and helping others. That's what inspired me to work in public service.
Our nation is too strong and too good to let one man tear down everything we stand for. I refuse to let Donald Trump take our country backwards.
Regardless of who I am, racism against anyone, anywhere should be appalling to everyone, everywhere.

As candidates and elected officials, we have an obligation to be honest.
