It has been a privilege serving you over the past two years in the Colorado State House of Representatives for Fort Collins' House District 53. You put your trust in me by electing me as your representative, and I am honored to have served this wonderful community. I look forward to continuing the work I have started.
I can say with pride that we have made great progress toward change. I have sponsored legislation that addresses community priorities, including:
strengthening our economy
improving our schools
curbing the cost of health care
safeguarding our water and our air
increasing funding for higher education
supporting clean renewable energy
protecting families, children and seniors
beating back special interests
I have served on the House Transportation and Energy Committee; the House Education Committee; the Severance Tax Interim Committee; and on the Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources Committee.
Thanks to so many of you for contacting me with your ideas, concerns and questions, and for attending my town hall meetings, community forums and coffees. It is because of input from involved citizens that I know better how to serve you.
I sincerely hope that you will put your support behind me again. I pledge to continue to listen to your ideas, to remain open and accessible, to work hard on your behalf, and to stand up for you in the Colorado Legislature.
