Intro
I grew up right here in Colorado’s Fourth District as the daughter of two Republicans. When my parents both got sick, I left my job as a civil servant in science and technology and came home to take care of them. The choices were limited. We saw up close how expensive healthcare really is for Colorado families.
Before they passed, we found common ground on something fundamental. If you work hard, you should be able to afford a good life, raise a family, and retire with dignity. That was the promise of the American middle class. Anyone could rise on work, merit, and grit.
Washington broke that promise.
Instead of competition, they concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. Corporations rigged markets. Middlemen skimmed profits. Workers fell behind while prices went up. Families pay more for basics. Small businesses compete on uneven ground. The people who feed, fuel, and care for this country do the work but do not get the respect or representation they deserve.
Voters see it. They do not trust either party because the system keeps failing them. Starting a family and retiring with security now feel out of reach.
We are at an inflection point.
Colorado’s Fourth District has everything it takes to lead the next American century. Energy. Agriculture. Skilled workers. Community colleges. Small businesses. Entrepreneurs. A deep ethic of hard work and care.
I’m the hometown jobs candidate running to take on the forces driving up costs and squeezing families, restore a middle class built to last, and make sure rural Colorado has the representation it deserves.
Families should be able to build lives with security, dignity, and opportunity.
