“I decided to run for the Greeley City Council because my neighbors deserve someone that will fight for them. In my six years of service, I have brought long-overdue infrastructure funding to East Greeley. I have fought to increase funding for affordable housing in Greeley, which has led to great developments like Star Rise Apartments and Hope Springs. It is time to continue that fight at the state level. It would be an honor to earn your vote.”

“In Weld County in particular, we have a CCCAP freeze that keeps low-income families from accessing the childcare they desperately need. We need to address funding issues that created that freeze and then work toward long-term sustainable funding for childcare in Colorado.”

“I am passionate about housing policy. It is the number one cost for most families. If we are serious about lowering costs, we have to start with the cost of housing. I leaned into it that policy work in my time on city council, but I also bring non-profit affordable housing development experience. We need more people in our legislature that understand how affordable housing is built and funded.”

“I am a Colorado native and graduate of the University of Northern Colorado. After graduating, my wife, Molly, and I chose to make Greeley our home because we love this community and wanted to put down roots here. We bought our first home in Greeley and have been proud to build our lives and our business here.”

“To lower the cost of housing, we need to build more housing that's actually attainable. We need to make it easier to build starter homes and condos across Colorado but especially in a rapidly growing place like HD 50.”

“The number one issue in Colorado is our growing budget deficit. This is leading to large cuts to essential services. The cost of housing, childcare and health insurance are rising rapidly, and because of our deficit, we are making cuts to programs that would lower those costs. We need experienced leaders at the state capitol to balance the budget and restore long-term, sustainable funding for these critically important services.”
