| Collapse all
In 2018, I started a choir for folks who were stroke survivors. Many had lost the ability to speak fluently, but we could still sing together. We celebrated that. My focus, both as a therapist and a city councilor, has been about finding creative solutions to help people live their best life. At a time when MAGA Republicans offer only more chaos and cruelty, I believe that we as Democrats owe people a different path: hope.
As the only candidate in this race who has won an election and beaten a MAGA Republican, I know what it takes to win these tough fights. I hope I have proven to you that I will work tirelessly for our community and at the State Capitol, I promise to never stop fighting alongside you and for you.- As a therapist, I have seen firsthand the mental health impacts on our kids living in a state that has failed to prioritize behavioral health services. Colorado now has one of the highest child suicide rates in the country and guns are the leading cause of death for kids under 18 in the US. We must double down on access to mental health services for our kids and every Coloradan who is struggling and fight to keep weapons of war out of the hands of civilians.
- When I think about our kids’ future, nothing is more important than addressing climate change. Whether we will be able to continue to live and thrive in our state will depend on our ability to to move off our reliance on fossil fuels. I have done this work as your councilor, drawing down federal and state dollars to support clean air and water in our community, and I will continue this fight at the state level.
- Housing affordability has been and will continue to be a top priority for me. Seniors are unable to move and downsize because they have nowhere to go, homeownership has been put out of reach for young people who want to stay in our community and build their lives, and far too many families have been forced into living on the streets because of rising costs. I have worked to support attainable housing projects and reduce the permitting barriers we face, but we need statewide changes to increase our housing supply and ensure our homeownership is for people, not corporations.

Scorecards
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.
