Other Info

Priority Issues:

Fairness: When you work hard, you should be rewarded for that work.

  • Responsibility: We are ultimately responsible for ourselves, our family and our community. We should treat others with integrity.

    Why I'm Running

  • I am running for the Colorado House of Representatives, first of all, because I love Aurora and our great state. I'm uniquely qualified for this position because I, like many of our neighbors, have overcome many of the same challenges.

    I strongly believe that we all of us deserve a fair shot at success!

    That means we have to come together to help those who are struggling. While we also need to keep people from taking advantage -- as we have all worked hard to get where we are -- it's important for our state's economic security that we all thrive.

    I would like to hear what your concerns are. Please feel free to contact me. It would be an honor to earn your support.
