My experience crafting solutions to the toughest problems sets me apart.
As a city council member, I have prioritized progressive policy solutions to take climate action, make housing more affordable, and help everyone who lost their house in the Marshall fire get back home. I have worked to protect and expand open space, and supported residents and businesses most affected by COVID-19.
As a life long public servant, I have led efforts to expand access to affordable, quality health care in Louisville and across Colorado. Working for two Colorado Governors and two senior U.S. Senators, I have fought against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. I am working to bring a public option to our community. Examples and press coverage of my work are below.
