Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m running for my fourth and final term to serve HD27. Before getting involved in political service, I studied Physics, Geology, and Software Development. I worked as an environmental consultant and a mining consultant and owned my own consulting firm. I serve as the chair of the Legislative LGBTQ+ caucus, Chair of the Joint Technology Committee, and as a member of the Energy & Environment, and Agriculture, Livestock & Water Committees. I also serve on the SIPA Board, the Artificial Intelligence and Biometrics Task Force, and on several non-profit boards. My passion has always been public service which started at age 16 as a volunteer firefighter. Throughout my time in school and career as a geologist, I dreamed of finding a way to make the world a better place. I never thought about running for office prior to being asked to run in 2017 and I realized that this career could be just what I was looking for. I put my heart and soul into the work I do as a representative- helping constituents with issues, connecting people with resources to help their needs, or running policy ideas to better the state. I have the goal of bringing back trust in elected officials by giving voters a reason to trust me. As a result, I have established a great reputation doing the job the way it’s supposed to be done.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• The people deserve someone who works hard, puts in the effort, and connects with the people to understand how to represent them. Regardless of whether we can agree on everything or not, a huge part of my job is listening and communicating. I hope that this aspect of how I represent is appreciated and valued.
• My priorities shift with the people and their needs. It’s imperative that I can understand where my constituents are on issues and that we can have meaningful civil conversations about them.
• My success is not measured by doing the things I want. It’s about how well I do at fostering the success of my constituents. We can find success together when we communicate successfully.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a former volunteer firefighter and someone who lives and represents areas in the WUI, wildfire mitigation and prevention is a policy area I will continue to prioritize.

I’m also very passionate about technology issues. I am interested in working to expand broadband access, support Right to Repair for consumers, and regulate Artificial Intelligence.
I have also worked closely on HOA issues trying to find fair ways to protect homeowners and reduce costs. HOAs can run well and others can make resident’s lives chaotic. I want to continue to find solutions that improve homeowners lives.

I’ve worked to improve mental health access over my years in the legislature and hope to find more ways of helping Coloradans thrive.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, and the ability to adapt to the needs of the constituency.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Representation is the act of doing the will of those in the constituency. While it’s impossible to know exactly what the constituency thinks on every issue, it’s important to reflect their will in the votes and policies crafted by the representative.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want to set the bar for what the office of state representative means and how it functions. Polling indicates that people lack trust in public officials. I always have and will strive to inspire people to believe in Government by demonstrating what a quality elected official, like me, can accomplish.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The Governor is a check and balance on the legislature. Although they are only a single person elected by the entire state, the legislature is the true voice of the people. There needs to be collaboration and cooperation because a governor is not a legislator. A governor who doesn't communicate their ideas and values ends up wasting the legislature's time.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

There are many challenges, but the greatest at this moment to me are water scarcity and wildfires. We are already seeing how these issues not only impact our state, but other states we have compact agreements with. Economic stability of the budget is a concern, especially with uncertainty of how ballot initiatives will go and how the general US and Colorado economy will perform.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes and no. Fresh ideas come with people new to the scene. Experience comes with previous experience. When term limits are involved, prior experience is extremely helpful (to combat institutional knowledge of lobbyists).

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Absolutely. It's important to build relationships with anyone in the political process. Whether it's in state or out of state, there are many things you can learn from others. As someone always striving to be better at her job, I like to keep strong relationships with those I like and those who dislike me.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I think it’s important to know who financially backs a candidate.

Do you support or oppose changes to the current state ballot initiative process? If so, what kind of changes would you consider?

I believe that this process needs reform because it’s too easy for special interests with large sums of money to essentially buy signatures for the ballot. This tactic has been used multiple times to force the legislature to enact policy changes that we may not feel is right. I believe the citizens should have the ability to suggest changes, but we need to balance this against wealthy entities with an agenda.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Representative Brianna Titone is running for her third term to serve HD27. Before getting involved in the political environment, Brianna studied Physics, Geology, and Software Development. She serves as the chair of the Legislative LGBTQ+ caucus, Chair of the Joint Technology Committee, and as a member of the Energy & Environment, Health & Insurance, and Agriculture, Livestock & Water Committees. She also serves on the SIPA Board, the JeffCo Schools STEM Advisory Board, the NCSL Energy and Environment and Transportations committees, as well as on the Western Regional Democrat Rep of the NCSL Women’s Legislative Network Executive Board, the CSG West Energy & Environment, Canada Relations, and Colorado River Forum Advisory Committees and the Energy Council, a non-partisan legislative organization comprised of 14 energy-producing states in the United States and two Canadian provinces.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Brianna believes that people have lost much faith in their elected officials. She strives to bring back that trust and faith by performing her job to the highest extent possible. She believes in transparency, good communication, and empathy are key factors in building strong relationships.
• Brianna has worked hard to get to know and understand her constituents to deliver policies that reflect their values. Her values remain the same from year to year, but her policy focus shifts with the needs of her constituents.
• Brianna believes that the best way to govern is through diverse thoughts. She values suggestions from constituents as well as sourcing ideas from conversations within and outside of Colorado. Good ideas are executed through collaboration and thoughtful consideration and conversation.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Brianna is a former volunteer firefighter and lives in the WUI, which makes wildfire mitigation and prevention a strong issue. Also, having worked as a hydrogeologist, water is a passionate issue. Colorado has an immense responsibility to be stewards of water for ourselves and other compact states. She is also passionate about combatting climate change and ensuring a clean and health future of our planet. She stands up for people who need a voice, often running bills on consumer protections often helping people save money. In addition to the "meat and potatoes" issues, she is a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, in particular the transgender community, and supporting marginalized communities.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My local political inspiration is Congressman Joe Neguse. He works incredibly hard and is so loved and respected in the community. He has accomplished so much in his tenure and continues to impress all the time. The way he performs his duties is truly inspirational.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

The most important characteristics for an elected official is empathy, and the ability to listen.

What legacy would you like to leave?

As one of the first openly transgender people to hold state elected office, I want to leave a legacy of inspiration and hope for trans and LGBTQ+ community.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I remember the Challenger disaster. I was around 8.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was washing dishes at a restaurant. I worked there for 3 years but also had a number of other jobs as well.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The Governor is a check and balance on the legislature. Although they are only a single person elected by the entire state, the legislature is the true voice of the people. There needs to be collaboration and cooperation. A governor who doesn't communicate their ideas and values ends up wasting the legislature's time. Compromise also happens between this relationship.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

There are many challenges, but the greatest at this moment to me is water scarcity and wildfires. We are already seeing how these issues can impact our state and other states we have compact agreements with.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a unicameral state legislature, in your opinion?

Less representation, fewer checks and balances are drawbacks. A benefit is efficiency and economy.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes and no. Fresh ideas come with people new to the scene. Experience comes with previous experience. When term limits are involved, prior experience is extremely helpful (to combat institutional knowledge of lobbyists).

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Absolutely. It's important to build relationships with anyone in the political process. Whether it's in state or out of state, there are many things you can learn from others. As someone always striving to be better at her job, I like to keep strong relationships with those I like and those who dislike me.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

Having gone through both a partisan and non-partisan process, it seems it is difficult to fully detach bias from the process. Non-partisan processes can be coopted and skewed. Although I voted for the non-partisan process, I'm having doubts it is the best process.

If you are a current legislator, what appealed to you about your current committees?

The committees I'm on pertain in part because I bring expertise to these committees. I am he Chair of the Joint Technology Committee because I am the ranking member have a Master's degree in Information Communication Technology. I am on the Energy and Environment Committee because I have degrees in Geology and expertise in the environmental and geochemical specialties, as well as a degree in Physics. This committee often involves technical topics which makes my knowledge valuable in asking pertinent questions which may be overlooked by non-technical members. I am on the Health and Insurance Committee because this is a topic which effects everyone. I chose to be on this committee a second term because I bring my prior knowledge to the topics, which are very complex and take a lot of understanding to make good decisions. I am on the Agriculture, Livestock, and Water Committee because I have a passion for water. I worked as a hydrogeologist and groundwater modeler and have a special passion for natural resources and the things dependent on it.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

I am interested in pursuing a higher office. Since I have term limits, I will be examining the opportunities when they arise. I considered running for my Congressional seat this year, but the vacancy came about too quickly for me to compete with another candidate who had already previously run.

Tell us your favorite joke.

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No eye deer.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

In most cases, yes. There are some things that are impossible to compromise on, but the remaining issues do have room for compromise. We often would like to see things more faster, but we need to be able to accept small wins and continue the work to reach the ultimate goal.

Brianna Titone completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Titone's responses.

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

As a Geologist, I want to use my knowledge and experience to work with all stakeholders on water issues. I want to be able to help alleviate healthcare costs and help seniors age in the their homes. I want to be sure that we get our public education system on track to give kids the opportunities to succeed.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I know the most about environmental issues and technology. I would like to be able to use my scientific knowledge to help further environmental conservation efforts to preserve Colorado's open spaces and protect health and safety. I would also like to work to expand competition in internet services because net neutrality has been federally removed.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

I have been a volunteer my whole life, starting as a volunteer firefighter at 16. I have continued to work in my community as a volunteer and I have always gone out of my way to help other people. As a scientist, I have always been a curious person. My curiosity has me always seeking answers to questions and thinking outside the box. I want to listen and hear people's concerns and learn why they feel the way they do. Only then can we find compromises and common ground.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I also have worked as a geological consultant and have worked in 8 countries all over the world. This has taught me how to work together with people of all different personalities, languages, and cultures to accomplish our goals. I believe this is an important trait to being to a partisan legislature because we need to bridge the divide.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

As a representative, it will be my job to represent. To do this you need to know the people in the district and meet with them. This is an ongoing process. I tell people at the door that I want the conversation we have to not be the last one. I want to keep the conversation going so the good ideas and experiences of the voters can be heard and turned into policies that can help many other people.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want to leave a legacy of responsibility, accountability, and availability that the voters in the district will come to expect from legislators from here on out. The district has not had a person taking this kind of communitycentric approach to this office and I want people to expect this from every candidate that runs for office in this district. I want the bar to be raised very high for this office to get only the best candidates to run for this office.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I worked as a dishwasher at an catered party event center at 14. I worked there over 4 years doing several jobs there including landscaping, cook prep, valet, and lifeguard.

What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?

My collection of rocks and minerals is very special to me. Each one is a memory of a trip and an experience of the excitement of discovery. To me they are a lot like photos from the past.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

My gender identity has always been a struggle for me. It took me a long time to be able to accept who I am. Since I have been honest about myself to myself and to the world I have been able to inspire others and find the confidence to be the leader that I had the potential to be my whole life.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Not always. I think that sometimes you need to look at things with a 'new pair of glasses'. People without the political process in mind may bring in great ideas that are thinking outside the box.

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

I believe that our greatest challenges will be the effects of TABOR when we have another economic downturn. This will result in many cuts and hardships for Colorado and we have to do something to prevent this from happening.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

We should be working with the governor to find out where potential flaws in a bill may prevent it from being signed. If we have conversations about these things ahead of time, bills can be amended to have a higher probability of being signed by the governor.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes. It is important to make relationships with people in both parties. When you get to know people you can better understand where they stand on certain issues and can more quickly come to compromises and agreements on legislation.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Colorado

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
