We are facing a growing number of problems, Colorado, but there’s still hope and time to fix them.

Colorado has crime and safety issues, affordability issues, education issues, energy security issues, immigration issues, high taxes, loads of fees, homelessness problems, government overreach problems, runaway regulations, and it is now trampling on fundamental rights, including even parental rights.
What is being done is neither compassionate nor good, but it can be fixed.
“We’ve gone astray from first principles. We’ve lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we’ve accomplished. Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”
We have to get back to the first duty of government again, and to do that, we must talk seriously about the issues and the principles needed to best solve them.

Limited Government
- Colorado’s state government has grown massively over the last 5 years
- The operating budget alone has grown from less than $30B to more than $40B from 2019 to 2024
- That growth is in part because it’s trying to control more and more of your life, ostensibly for your good
- As a simple example, you’re not even trusted with a grocery bag anymore
- This is not how the land of the free ought to be
Crime & Public Safety
- Colorado is now one of the worst states in the nation now for crime
- Violent crime and property theft are high, and Fentanyl is flooding our streets
- Organized crime is now a problem, with members of a Venezualan gang that illegally crossed our border having an activce hit out for Denver police officers
- We need to reinstate common sense and serious practices of criminal justice that rightly protect the innocent
Affordability & Taxes
- Costs of everything are going up, and anyone who has been to the grocery store in the last few years knows that
- Public utility prices have risen nearly 40% in 5 years alone
- Meanwhile property taxes have spiked and numerous fees have been implemented or raised
- We can’t solve for all inflation at the state level, but we can cut waste and burdensome regulations, reduce taxes, and protect TABOR, not dodge it

It’s not enough to simply mean well. We have to do what’s right.
I support:
Protecting the fundamental rights and liberties for all living in Colorado, including:
- Rights to life, liberty, and property, including the rights of the unborn
- Religious freedom for all faiths and rights of conscience
- Right to protect yourself, your family, and all others
- Parental rights and the right to direct the upbringing and education of your children
- Rights of due process, including to not be convicted of something you didn’t do
- Right to freely contract and to associate, including women’s rights in athletics and to compete in safety and fairness
Promoting Principles of Good Government, including:
- Focusing on first principles and government’s first duty to protect its citizens
- Pursuing sound principles of limited government to serve the people
- Fostering free market principles indispensable to individual liberty
- Supporting the concepts of subsidiarity (local government wherever practical)
- Focusing government on its designed role, protecting checks and balances, and supporting society so that it flourishes
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

We have to get back to priciples of E Pluribus Unum and stop beating the drums of Class WarFare.
In Emma Lazarus’s famous poem, “The New Colossus,” the one now on Liberty Island near Ellis Island, she writes:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
This is the spirit of our nation, but like so much, we have lost this point too. We had and we still have our arms outstretched wide to all who “yearn to breathe free.” That is the promise of this nation, a respite from a world that has seldom known freedom. It is an opportunity to breath free. It is not, however, a place for those who yearn for free things, for to give them by government we must first take from someone else yearning to breath free.
There is hope for Colorado, but the time to act is now.
