On the Issues

🟦 Bridging the Divide

I believe in country over party. That means listening to Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike. We may not agree on everything, but we can agree on doing what’s right for our families, our freedom, and our future.

🟦 Real Representation — Not Corporate Influence

I won’t take a dime from corporate PACs or DC lobbyists. My voice belongs to the people of this district, not the highest bidder. I welcome support from grassroots organizations that are funded by everyday people and fight for the same values I’m running on.

🟦Economic Security & Dignity for Every Coloradoan

I believe every Coloradan deserves a life of dignity. That means protecting Medicare and Medicaid, making sure working families can afford housing, healthcare, and childcare, and fighting for fair wages and tax relief for the middle class, not handouts for billionaires.

🟦 Protecting Small Business & Local Economies

As a small business owner myself, I know how hard it is to build something from the ground up. I'll champion Main Street over Wall Street, streamline access to capital, and cut red tape that hurts small business growth.

🟦 National Debt & Fiscal Responsibility

We must tackle the national debt without cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. I'll fight to end wasteful pork spending, close tax loopholes for billionaires and corporations, and invest in what grows our economy—like education, clean energy, and infrastructure. Fiscal responsibility means spending smarter, not hurting the people in our district.

🟦 Immigration

We must enforce the law by prioritizing the removal of violent criminals and those committing serious offenses, not targeting workers, students, or families trying to do the right thing. I support strong borders, smart enforcement, and a legal path for those who contribute and seek to become citizens the right way.

🟦 Women’s Rights and Reproductive Care

I believe decisions about reproductive health belong between a woman and her doctor, not politicians. I will always stand up for the right to privacy, freedom of choice, and access to safe, legal reproductive care.

🟦 Gun Safety and the Second Amendment

I support the Second Amendment and the rights of responsible gun owners, including collectors like myself. I also believe we must do more to reduce gun violence in our communities. That means commonsense steps like universal background checks and closing loopholes, all while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.
We can honor both safety and freedom, because doing nothing is not an option.

🟦 Standing Up for Veterans & Mental Health

Our veterans deserve more than saying thank-you. They deserve quality healthcare, job opportunities, and full support for mental health and reintegration. I’ll prioritize funding for services that actually work.

Donate

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: government should work for people who show up every day, not special interests who show up with checks.

Why This Campaign Exists

Too many everyday Coloradans feel ignored while Washington serves insiders. This campaign exists to change that.

Core Values

• Integrity • Transparency • Service • Dignity for All • Collaboration

Your Donation Matters.

Your Donation Makes a Difference.

This campaign isn’t backed by lobbyists or corporate PACs.

It’s powered by people like you.

I'm running for Congress to bring dignity, decency, and real representation back to Colorado’s 8th District. I’ve lived through poverty. I’ve built a life from nothing. And now I’m stepping up to fight for working families, veterans, small businesses, and everyone who feels left behind by a broken system.

I won’t be bought — and I won’t sell out. That means I need your help to build this movement from the ground up.

Whether it’s $5, $25, or $100 — every dollar goes directly toward reaching voters, spreading our message, and taking on the political machine.

This isn’t just a donation. It’s a declaration: that the people still come first.
