Strongly Agree

Colorado currently has no gestational limit and has constitutional protections for abortion access. I am personally pro-life and believe we should reduce the number of abortions through support for families, adoption, and maternal health. I respect that this is a deeply personal issue on which people of good will disagree.

I would support reasonable, widely supported limits such as protections for viable unborn children later in pregnancy, parental notification (already in place), and ensuring the health and safety of women. Any changes must be approached carefully and with respect for differing views. It is up to the voters in Colorado to decide if they would like to amend the current laws in the Colorado constitution not the state legislation.

Strongly Agree

My faith and experience as a father shape my values, but as a legislator my first duty is to represent the people of HD 24 under the Colorado Constitution and laws. I will be transparent about my principles while focusing legislative energy on issues where consensus is broader: affordability, safety, education, and water.

Strongly Agree

Agree

As a principled conservative my position on minimum wage emphasizes that wages are best set by voluntary agreements between employers and employees in competitive markets, not by governmental mandates.

Strongly Agree

As a former small business owner I believe that prosperity is created by people freely investing their labor, savings and ideas under clear rule not by political allocation of resources.

1. Close all Taxpayer Bill Of Rights (TABOR) workarounds and rein in enterprise fee growth. 2. Prioritize aggressive Medicaid program integrity and cost containment. 3. Mandate performance based budgeting, zero based review and full state and independent audit follow through. 4. Sunset unnecessary boards, commissions and regulatory accumulation.

No government may create an official state religion, force attendance or financial support for a particular faith or perfer one denomination over others. Citizens are free to peruse their religious beliefs without fear of government law or overreach as long as their pursuit is peaceful and lawful.

Strongly Disagree

Government cannot and should not force or require individuals or businesses to provide services that violate their First Amendment of the Constitution of The United States, the right to freely exercise their freedom of religion and freedom of free speech.

Option C most closely matches my conservative position that is consistent with my principles. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available as the primary existing taxpayer funded safety net and senior program. No additional broader taxpayer funded healthcare programs are necessary. The focus should be on reforming the current programs, addressing sustainability, reducing waste fraud and abuse, expanding market oriented solution based options and controlling runaway costs.

Strongly Disagree

Creating a government database of people and their ongoing illnesses is a direct violation of HEPA laws that are their to protect patient privacy. I would not support such a bill or database if it was presented to the state house.

Agree

This is a serious "National" issue yes but, as a state representative unless it becomes a state issue it is out of my purview and/or control.

Again this is a national issue, as a state representative I will focus on what is important to my community here in House District 24 and across Colorado.

Strongly Disagree

I do not support sanctuary cities or sanctuary policies that take funding, jobs, health care, and resources away from naturally born and documented citizens.

Strongly Agree

As a full time single father and an advocate for parental rights education decisions belong to parents, teachers and communities not with the federal government or bureaucrats in Washington.

Strongly Agree

No foreign government should have any influence in the education system, funding or upbringing of children in the US.

Strongly Agree

Government must recognize and support the fundamental right and duty of parents to direct their child's health, education and well being. As a full time single father, I know no one loves or knows a child better than their parents. Government's role is to protect that authority, not replace it with bureaucrats or hide information from moms and dads. Parents deserve transparency, real choice and the final say.

Strongly Agree

Attempting to physically or medically transition a child to the opposite sex is harmful and irreversible in many cases, and I believe it constitutes a serious form of child abuse. Children cannot consent to permanent medical interventions that sterilize them or lock in lifelong medical dependency. We must protect kids, support genuine mental health care and keep parents, not activists or schools, in charge of these decisions.

Disagree

I am unapologetically Christian and faith is important to me as it the foundation of my life which guides my morals and values as a servant of the lord.

Strongly Disagree

As adults we must carry ID that proves who and what age we are to drive a vehicle, open a bank account, by alcohol, get on a plane along with many other activities. Voting in person (eliminate mail-in-ballots except for military and other pre-approved cases) with Government issued ID should be no different.

Strongly Disagree

This issue is a Pandora's box and is a loose-loose situation, full stop.

Strongly Agree

As a parent and a youth sports coach I stand up for girls and women having their own private spaces as well as their own dedicated sports only for biological women. There are existing co-ed sports for both men and women to compete in.

Disagree

I do not support the claim that man-made climate change is a global existential threat requiring urgent, sweeping political change. The climate is changing and human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, contributes to rising CO2 levels, that is not seriously disputed. What is disputed, which I reject, is the extreme framing that treats it as an imminent catastrophe demanding rapid, top down government transformation of the energy system, heavy new regulations, higher energy costs

Small scale nuclear power is the most reliable energy source capable of meeting growing electricity concerns and demands as well as natural gas which is the particle and dispatchable partner that currently keeps the lights on affordably and reliably.

Conservative

No

No

The goal of the justice system should be to protect the public, deliver justice for victims and hold offenders accountable through swift, certain and proportional consequences. It exists to deter crime, remove dangerous people from society and uphold the rule of law. Not to prioritize rehabilitation above safety or to engineer socially acceptable outcomes.

Strongly Agree

The government and justice system has a clear responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation online. This means stronger enforcement against predators, child pornography and grooming. Age verification requirements for adult content and support tools that help parents monitor and protect their children. Protecting children from exploitation is a basic duty of the government but must start at home.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law as well as any other foreign laws should not be accepted or incorporated in any form into the US legal system. American law is grounded in the US Constitution and the equal protection of individual rights. No form of foreign or religious legal code should create a parallel legal system or override constitutional protections for any group of people.

The Second Amendment protects the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and shall not be infringed upon. The restrictions we need are currently on the books. Prohibiting ownership by violent felons, domestic abusers and those adjudicated mentally ill. We should enforce those laws fully, prosecute gun crimes aggressively and improve mental health intervention. New broad restrictions like HB26-003 on responsible citizens do not make us safer.
