Life begins at conception. If the circumstances wouldn't warrant killing a born person, the unborn also should not be killed.

The right to peaceably assemble and worship is an inalienable and constitutional right and shall not be infringed.

The ideology behind Islamic terrorism is opportunistic and will quickly take advantage of weakness or indecision. Conversely, terrorists respect strength and consistency. My experience as a combat veteran of the Global War on Terror showed me the United States must be firm in opposing terrorism by accurately identifying the religious and cultural beliefs that undergird Islamic terrorism. Cultural and religious practices that promote terrorism must never be excused or equated to peaceful or democratic values. Having the fortitude to identify and staunchly oppose the root beliefs of Islamic terrorism is the first step to defeating it. The second is to speak softly and carry a big stick. "The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness." (Robert Heinlein, US Navy)

Islamic radicals have sworn to destroy Israel at all costs. Forcing Israel to make concessions only endangers Israel and will never achieve peace. Israel's right to exist, to establish their own cultural identity, and protect their territorial sovereignty is non-negotiable and must be strongly defended.

Government intervention seldom results in better services. The last decade of government involvement in healthcare has increased deficit spending and price hikes for the consumer, while also reducing the quality and availability of medical care. In the short term, C) will help roll back the bloated healthcare bureaucracy while shrinking costs and improving quality. Longer term, the free market can responsibly provide better and higher quality service than government funded red tape. Wise leadership is needed to develop a practical and detail-oriented transition that provides care for our neighbors (with no breaks in coverage) AND moves our healthcare system away from unsustainable deficit spending and toward a sustainable, ethical, free market based model.

While safe and responsible vaccine usage can be encouraged, the choice to receive a vaccine should be left to the individual. Narrowly-tailored exceptions can be considered for people who voluntarily accept high-risk assignments (e.g. soldiers deploying to a combat theater where weaponized Anthrax is a known threat, veterinarians responding to a Rabies outbreak, etc). Religious exemptions should always be available.

In Colorado, TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights) and Proposition 117 require the State to submit tax or fee increases to the voters for approval. Unfortunately, Colorado's ruling Left has not followed these laws, resulting in billions of dollars of tax/fee increases without voter approval. TABOR and Proposition 117 don't need to be changed. The State needs to follow them.

In 1992, Colorado voters passed the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), which imposes one of the most restrictive government spending limitations of any state in the nation. I support TABOR. Colorado has enough money, the ruling Left just isn't using it efficiently. The State needs to allocate existing funds toward essential public needs (e.g. roads and bridges) and stop spending money on leftist social programs

I am of Mexican heritage. Border security is absolutely vital.

Anyone who wants to be an American first and "pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America" can immigrate. Narrowly-tailored exceptions can be considered for individual cases of legitimate religious and political asylum.

With the caveat that many homeschoolers do not want government money or the associated government strings. Homeschoolers should be exempt from any form of government funding.

As a career police lieutenant, I believe mental health resources also need to be increased, but NOT at the expense of law enforcement.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. More citizens should consider responsibly carrying firearms for self defense. It improves public safety by making criminals think twice. I believe in this idea so strongly, I teach concealed carry firearms classes.

Shane (1953 movie) said it best. "A gun is a tool . . . No better or worse than any other tool . . . a gun is as good or as bad as the man using it." People who use guns for illegal purposes need to be held accountable, not law abiding manufacturers or dealers.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [people] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . ." (Declaration of Independence) "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

No.

I’m running for Colorado State House District 48, which stretches from Brighton to Greeley. I’m a Colorado native, conservative Christian, combat veteran, husband and father, and small business owner. During the 22 combined years I served in the US Army, Colorado Army National Guard, or as an Arvada Police lieutenant, I swore three oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution and care for my neighbors. Tragically, recent policies from the ruling Left in Colorado’s state legislature have handcuffed my ability to serve my community. Crime is spiking, cost of living is skyrocketing, and parents’ ability to select a successful education for their kids is in danger. I’m running for House District 48 because I’m a proven leader. I have two decades of service-based experience and know how to solve the problems that are crippling our families, neighbors, and communities. I stand for freedom, the Constitution, and common sense. I want to earn your vote so I can put my years of experience to work for you at the Colorado State Capitol reducing crime, lowering the cost of living, and empowering parental rights, especially in education and healthcare.

The 66 books of the Bible are the inerrant Word of God. Matthew 22:37-40: "Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

A form of ID that is equally as secure as a photo ID can be substituted.

Voting integrity begins long before election day. Educating children (and not indoctrinating them) will create informed voters who can think for themselves (instead of being told what to think). School choice will improve the education system. Breaking the stranglehold that Mainstream Media and Big Tech have over political messages will ensure honest information is presented to voters. Enforcing the 1st Amendment protection of free speech is vital to fair and secure elections. Election logistics should be transparent so voters have confidence that only lawfully cast votes are counted (and all lawfully cast votes are counted). In Colorado, Senate Bill 22-153 causes tremendous damage to voting transparency. If it passes as currently written (it likely will, but has not at the time this survey was submitted), it should be repealed.

Individuals who are racist exist in America, but the United States is not a racist country. Racism is only a security threat when race-baiters (usually leftists) manufacture and inflame tensions for political purposes. Intentionally dividing communities and inciting race riots for political gain is a domestic threat.

A). As a farmer and former wildland firefighter, I understand the critical importance of protecting our air, land, and water. Modern environmental ideology, however, often fails to effectively care for the environment. Responsibly empowering the free market almost always improves the environment. Examples: 1) Allowing responsible logging and grazing on public lands improves soil health and prevents forest fires by reducing the fuel load. 2) Hunting and fishing provide over $2 billion to Colorado's economy and provide a vital source of funding for conservation.

Strongly Agree

The US has the cleanest and most responsible technology on the planet when it comes to oil and gas extraction. If we don't produce it here, it will be produced elsewhere in a less responsible (and more expensive) manner. Failure to responsibly promote US energy is a threat to national security, economic strength, and recklessly places oil and gas production in the hands of countries that don't have the same robust environmental protections as the US.
