In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Agriculture is one of the largest economic drivers in Colorado, so we need to make sure our producers are not left behind”
“Unfortunately, affordability is a large issue.”
“It would be wonderful if everybody had a freezer full of locally sourced meat and could spend time growing tomatoes.”
“Serving Southwest Colorado is the honor of a lifetime. I'll be spending the next several months at home in Durango with my family and community, and I welcome the opportunity to meet with you.”
“We brought real progress home to HD-59 this legislative session. I'm proud to share that 14 of my bills were signed into law. We also worked across the aisle, successfully passing seven bipartisan bills through the Legislature. From healthcare and housing to energy and public safety, we delivered on our commitments to Southwest Colorado, and I'm already developing ideas for legislation to advance next year.”
“I want to be clear that this bill does not change EMS personnel's scope of practice. EMS standards of evaluation and care remain the same, and as always, patients will have the choice of where to receive care. This will not stop anyone from being transported to an ER if that is what they want or need. Instead, this bill will empower EMS and patients to make smart decisions, tailored to the care they need.”

“I cannot overstate the importance of the federal government's promises and obligations regarding water projects. This session, I will introduce a resolution, in coordination with the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Indian tribes, calling on the federal government to honor its obligation to fulfill the tribes' water rights in Lake Nighthorse. As we face drier years, actual access to their water is essential.”
“We had productive conversations about county finances and revenue, the impacts of FEMA funding denials in Southwest Colorado, and how the Statehouse can best partner with counties to ensure Coloradans have the tools they need to lead the lives they deserve.”
