Positions
Economy & Taxes

The platform language emphasizes reducing costs for households rather than proposing tax increases on high earners or corporations.
Healthcare
Supports policies to make health care more affordable and accessible, including keeping rural hospitals open, expanding telehealth, protecting reproductive health services (abortion, IVF, birth control), cutting prescription drug prices, and ensuring Coloradans do not go broke to receive care.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and preserving access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare, including IVF and birth control. Prioritizes maintaining reproductive care access for women in Colorado’s 4th District.
Climate & Energy
Supports an "all-of-the-above" energy approach that includes clean, traditional, and alternative sources and emphasizes energy produced in Colorado. Prioritizes holding utility companies accountable, growing jobs tied to local energy production and next-generation manufacturing, and investing in wildfire prevention and water/agriculture protections.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate’s campaign platform emphasizes strengthening public safety by equipping first responders and law enforcement, investing in community policing, disaster preparedness, and mental-health resources. The campaign materials do not state a clear position on specific gun policies such as universal background checks, assault weapons bans, red flag laws, or concealed-carry/constitutional carry. Overall, public-safety priorities are described but the campaign offers no explicit, detailed stance on firearm regulation.
