Army Brat to Governor
The Three Core Pillars
1. Farms & Water
Protect Colorado’s land and water by keeping them in local hands. That means supporting family farms and ranches, strengthening farmer-owned and water-user cooperatives, and enforcing strong anti-monopoly protections so out-of-state corporations cannot drain our resources or price locals out. Clean water, healthy soil, and food security are not optional. Truthfully, they are the foundation of Colorado’s future.
2. Families
Ensure families can stay in the communities they call home. That means reopening and stabilizing rural hospitals, protecting clinics from private-equity shutdowns, and guaranteeing reasonable access to urgent and emergency care across the state. You matter, no matter your ZIP code.
3. Freedom
Defend Colorado’s right to govern itself. That means rejecting mass detention, forced institutionalization, and the seizure or closure of care facilities under the guise of efficiency, profit, or federal pressure. Colorado solutions should be made by Coloradans.
This is not about left versus right.
It is about whether people can live, work, and raise families in Colorado without fear.
Colorado does not need to be “saved” by outsiders.
It needs to be protected by people who live here, love it, and are willing to do the work.
I plan to work with local leaders and residents in every district by helping each community build solutions that reflect their land, their needs, and their freedom.

A different kind of Governor
Colorado Holds the Country Together
Colorado is the heart of America.
Our rivers water the West.
Our farms feed millions far beyond our borders.
Our roads, power lines, and infrastructure connect rural and urban communities alike.
When Colorado is strong, the country holds together.
But right now, too many Coloradans are being left behind.
Rural hospitals are closing or operating on the edge of collapse.
Families are driving hours for emergency care or finding none at all.
People are being denied essential, lifesaving treatment not because it isn’t needed, but because the systems meant to provide it are being allowed to fail.
At the same time, corporations are buying up farmland and not to farm or protect it, but to control water, consolidate power, and extract profit from resources that should remain in local hands. Poisoning the supply for locals and local wildlife. That isn't the Colorado we know.
We are also seeing a growing push toward federal control and policies that override local decision-making and risk turning places of care into instruments of confinement rather than healing.
That is not resilience.
It is abandonment.
We can survive it, maybe even thrive it in, together.
