We need a change in Colorado! We are living with some of the highest statistics in the country for auto theft, robbery, fentanyl overdose, mental health issues & teen suicide, inflation, and unaffordable housing. Meanwhile, our current governing body is out of touch with our concerns and needs. While we suffer from increasing costs and inflation, they have not met a fee or tax that they didn't approve costing us more of our hard earned money. They have also been modifying laws that reduce consequences for criminals while providing us less protection.
