Issues
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS - PUTTING FAMILIES FIRST
Colorado families are being squeezed by higher taxes, rising energy costs, and excessive regulation. As a business owner, I know today’s policies make it harder to build a business, buy a home, or raise a family. I will defend TABOR, stop new taxes and hidden fees, cut red tape, lower utility costs, and audit government programs to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
DEFENDING THE 2ND AMENDMENT & OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental constitutional freedom. As a firearms business owner and Second Amendment advocate, I will oppose bans and restrictions on law-abiding citizens and ensure enforcement focuses on criminals—not responsible gun owners. I will fight at the Capitol to stop infringements on your rights.
PUBLIC SAFETY, SCHOOL SECURITY AND PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN
Nothing matters more than keeping our communities and children safe. I stand with law enforcement, first responders, and families to strengthen school security, support emergency preparedness, and ensure violent offenders face real consequences. Public safety policies must protect victims and put children first.
FIGHTING RADICAL “SOFT ON CRIME” LEGISLATION
Colorado deserves law and order, not policies that protect repeat offenders. I will oppose radical legislation that weakens accountability, support law enforcement with the tools they need, and strengthen penalties for violent crime—while safeguarding the rights of law-abiding citizens.
PARENTAL RIGHTS & EDUCATION
Parents—not politicians—should direct their children’s education and values. I will fight for parental notification and consent, protect opt-out rights, keep radical ideology out of classrooms, and support school choice, charter schools, and homeschooling so families have real options.
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE & AFFORDABILITY
Colorado should responsibly use all of its energy resources to keep power reliable and affordable. I support balanced development of oil, natural gas, and renewables while opposing forced electrification and costly mandates. Energy independence means good jobs, lower bills, and a stronger economy.
SMALL BUSINESS, RED TAPE & ECONOMIC FREEDOM
Small businesses are the backbone of Colorado’s economy, but red tape is choking opportunity. I will cut unnecessary regulations, streamline permitting, reform licensing requirements, and oppose taxes and mandates that make it harder to start, grow, or keep a business.
ROLLING BACK TAXES & REVERSING EXTREME POLICIES
Families and job creators need real relief, not more government expansion. I will fight to roll back excessive taxes, repeal extreme policies that raise costs and limit freedom, and ensure government is accountable, responsive, and limited.
LOCAL CONTROL, TABOR & ACCOUNTABILITY
Decisions should be made locally—not imposed from Denver. I will restore local control over schools, zoning, and public safety, stop unfunded mandates, demand transparency in spending, and protect taxpayer rights and voter-approved limits.
PROTECTING WATER RIGHTS & PREVENTING WILDFIRES
Reliable water and healthy forests are essential to SD-4 communities, agriculture, and public safety. I will defend water rights, support proactive forest management, invest in wildfire mitigation and early prevention, protect watersheds, and ensure local fire districts have the resources they need—while respecting property rights and local control.
Wolf Reintroduction & Rural Protection
Colorado’s rushed wolf-reintroduction program has harmed ranchers, farmers, and rural families. I opposed the program from the start and will fight to suspend it until safeguards are in place, livestock losses are fully compensated, and local communities—not Denver bureaucrats—have a real voice. Rural livelihoods and Colorado’s food supply must come first.
