Bridges' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Jobs and the economy: Simplify the tax code for small businesses and create a fast track to start new businesses. Invest in Colorado's renewable energy economy to create new, good-paying jobs. Encourage retirement savings with a Colorado-wide, optional retirement plan. Expand access to higher education for responsible students without creating crippling loan debt. Increase financing and funding tools to develop more affordable housing.

Education: Fully fund public education using tools like a simple accounting fix to the Hospital Provider Fee to free up funds under TABOR. Increase state funding to reduce the achievement gap between lower and higher income districts. Work with teachers to promote testing that doesn't distract from learning objectives and provides feedback that helps both students and teachers improve. Expand efforts to retain, recruit, train, and reward our most effective educators, because teachers are the key to a quality education.

Gender equity: Require contractors doing business with the state to meet equal-pay standards, so that every individual earns what she or he deserves regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation. Fully fund Colorado's long acting reversible contraception plan, a nationally recognized program that has dramatically reduced unplanned teen pregnancies. Continue to resist legislative attempts to roll back a woman's right to make personal reproductive health care decisions with her family and her doctor without government intrusion. Expand Family and Medical Leave Act protections so more Coloradans have access to paid sick and parental leave.

Environment and renewable energy: Having worked in rural Colorado and for both John and Ken Salazar, I have a deep understanding of Colorado's limited water resources. Counties and major municipalities need to have regularly updated water plans that work alongside Governor John Hickenlooper's bipartisan Colorado Water Plan. We should also encourage counties and municipalities to include open space and parks so our families can enjoy the outdoors near their homes. And every State Representative and Senator should take an active role supporting their local governments in these processes.

Healthcare: We've worked hard in Colorado to expand health care access and affordability. As someone with lifelong asthma, I'm especially thankful that the Affordable Care Act ended denials of coverage for those of us with preexisting conditions. That doesn't mean the system works perfectly and that there aren't improvements we can make. For example, one of the women I met while knocking on doors told me about a clerical error she fought for almost a year to finally get affordable health insurance. We can and we must do better.[6]
