Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports lowering state income taxes through responsible, phased reductions tied to verified revenue surpluses and voter requirements, opposes new or disguised fees that bypass TABOR, and proposes targeted tax incentives and credits to encourage apprenticeships, workforce pipelines, and industry growth. Policy proposals also include vetoing new fees, rolling back prior fees framed as revenue-raising, and banning mandated ESG requirements that affect contracting or finance decisions.
Healthcare
The candidate’s campaign materials emphasize expanding veterans’ long-term and mental-health care, increasing mental-health and detox infrastructure, and treating the fentanyl crisis with a combination of enforcement and expanded treatment. The materials do not state an explicit position on nationwide coverage changes such as ACA expansion, a public option, Medicare for All, or major market-based reforms. Overall, healthcare proposals appear focused on targeted behavioral-health and veterans’ services rather than broad federal coverage changes.

Immigration & Border
Supports ending sanctuary policies in Colorado and directing state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, including honoring ICE detainer requests for individuals suspected of being unlawfully present and charged with crimes. Emphasis is on prioritizing public safety by ensuring cooperation with federal immigration enforcement for violent or repeat offenders.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro‑life and says he supports protecting unborn children, but has acknowledged Colorado’s constitutional protections for abortion and indicated he would not be able to unilaterally change state law. He has described focusing on alternatives and assistance for pregnant women rather than pursuing immediate legal bans in Colorado.
Climate & Energy
Supports an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy that expands renewables (wind, solar, geothermal) while retaining oil, gas, hydroelectric, and emerging technologies (modular nuclear, advanced storage). Emphasizes energy reliability, affordability, energy independence, wildfire prevention, and conservation without heavy regulatory approaches.
