Colorado families are being priced out while state spending grows out of control. Under one‑party rule, the budget has jumped from $29 billion to $48 billion, yet Colorado is now the third most expensive state. Excessive regulations—more than 165,000—drive businesses away, reduce jobs, and raise costs for everyone. Attacks on TABOR mean government takes more of your money instead of letting families keep what they earn. I’m committed to restoring affordability by protecting TABOR, cutting unnecessary regulations, and refocusing spending on the real needs of Colorado’s people.Colorado needs a justice system that protects families, not offenders. In Highlands Ranch, I support law enforcement and stronger accountability for violent criminals. We must end mandatory cashless bail for serious crimes, require prison sentences for violent offenders, and fix competency laws that allow dangerous individuals to be released without proper monitoring. I’ve fought at the Capitol to stop efforts to reduce penalties for extreme indifference murder and to pass tougher laws ensuring domestic abusers go to prison. Public safety must come first. Democrats in Colorado have picked abusers over victims...that stops now!Parents and schools should work together to give every child the best chance to succeed. In Highlands Ranch, I will defend parental rights while supporting the great teachers and schools that make our community strong. Families deserve transparency, respect, and a real voice in their children’s education, and schools deserve the resources and stability to focus on learning. I’ll work to ensure parents remain central in decisions about their kids while partnering with educators to create safe, high‑quality classrooms for every student.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about restoring public safety and protecting Colorado families from rising costs. As a prosecutor, I’ve seen how weakened laws, cashless bail, and reduced penalties for violent crime put communities at risk, which is why I’ve fought at the Capitol to stop efforts to lower penalties for extreme indifference murder and to ensure domestic abusers go to prison. I also believe protecting TABOR is essential so families keep more of what they earn. Colorado’s budget has grown from $29 to $48 billion, yet we’ve become one of the most expensive states. By reducing regulations, supporting strong schools, and keeping parents central in decisions about their children, we can make Colorado safer and more affordable.

Colorado families in Highlands Ranch are paying more while government revenue hits record highs. Instead of prioritizing citizens, spending is funneled into pet projects and excessive regulations — over 165,000 — that drive up costs for small businesses and consumers. Hidden fees and higher taxes make everyday life more expensive, even as the state budget grows. Under Democratic control, Colorado’s budget has grown by 50%, yet families are paying more while getting less — with Colorado roads ranked 43rd, safety 47th, and the 6th‑highest regulatory burden in the nation. My priority is to realign spending, cut unnecessary regulations, and reduce taxes and fees so families can afford to live, work, and thrive here.Colorado families deserve to feel safe in their communities, but current policies too often favor offenders over victims. Mandatory cashless bail, weak sentencing, and broken competency laws have allowed dangerous individuals back on the streets without proper monitoring. Mandatory cashless bail is fueling a surge in retail theft, costing Colorado families and businesses nearly $3 billion a year. As a career prosecutor, I’ve seen firsthand the consequences of these failures. My priority is to support law enforcement, restore accountability, and require prison sentences for violent offenders so we can protect families and ensure justice in Highlands Ranch and across Colorado.Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) is the strongest safeguard families have against runaway spending. It guarantees refunds when government collects more than it needs. But under Democratic control, leaders are chipping away at TABOR by disguising tax hikes as “fees.” The fact is, whatever you call them, Colorado families are paying more while politicians grow government bigger. I will fight to protect TABOR, stop back‑door attempts to raise taxes, and keep taxpayer refunds where they belong — in your pocket.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about policies that lower costs for Colorado families and allow businesses to thrive by cutting excessive regulations and hidden fees. Families in Highlands Ranch are paying more while government spending grows, and I believe we must realign priorities to make life affordable again. Just as important, I’ve dedicated my career as a prosecutor to protecting the most vulnerable — children and survivors of domestic violence. Public safety isn’t abstract to me; it’s about real people who deserve justice and security. My focus is on restoring affordability and ensuring Colorado families are safe in their homes and communities.
