What makes you the best choice for this office?

I have a background in the military/Law Enforcement and I am a small business owner.

What can the Legislature do to ease the strain of rising housing prices on Colorado residents?

Work with the municipalities, especially planning departments, to support higher density infill development.

What can be done to ensure the state's transportation system will be able to accommodate continued population growth?

Of all issues, transportation is ripe for a game changer. In the meantime, I support the “fix the dam roads initiative”.

What two issues demand more attention in the upcoming Legislative session than they received in the previous one, and why?

Education and the environment

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

My dream would be to get non-profits/community involved and make quality pre-kindergarten education available to all and to see that Initiative 97 survives. (Correct, I am a Republican that supports Initiative 97).
