My experience crafting solutions to the toughest problems sets me apart.
As your city council member, I have prioritized economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and keeping Louisville a place where everyone is welcome. I have worked to protect and expand open space in Ward 3, supported residents and businesses most affected by COVID-19, and protected the small town we all love.
As a life long public servant, I have led efforts to expand access to affordable, quality health care in Louisville and across Colorado. Working for two Colorado Governors and two senior U.S. Senators, I have fought against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. I am working to bring new, affordable health care options to our community. Examples and press coverage of my work are below.
