The platform language emphasizes reducing costs for households rather than proposing tax increases on high earners or corporations.

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.
