Collapse all
|I am a former teacher, nonprofit executive and documentary filmmaker. Proud mother of three public school graduates - two of whom have graduated from College and are now working young adults. I co-produced, directed and wrote the film Strong Sisters: Elected Women in Colorado which tells the unique story of the impact of women on Colorado's political history from 1893 to the present. I have been in the Legislature for two terms and proud of our accomplishments over the last four years. My areas of interest have been working families and addressing climate change. I am proud to have served as our Majority Caucus Co-Chair and on our Transportation and Local Government and Energy and Environment Committees.
- Climate change is real and we need to take bold, actionable, and measurable steps to address this crisis. In addition, all Coloradans deserve clean air, land and water. Environmental work needs to be centered in environmental justice.
- Colorado's workers and families should be able to count on access to housing, food, public education, opportunities for advancement, and healthcare. Mental Health should be treated on a par with physical health. Reproductive Healthcare is healthcare and that includes the full range of reproductive services including abortion.
- We must work towards equity and inclusion in everything we do. We must seek to dismantle systemic racism, sexism and homophobia.
I am passionate about gender equality - ensuring equal wages, reproductive rights, workplace safety.
I am passionate about combatting climate change and working to preserve and protect Colorado's air, land and water.
I am passionate about equity and inclusion. I commit to addressing systemic racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and sexism.
I stand on the shoulders of many powerful women who I admire. My favorites are Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Barbara Jordan, and Sarah Weddington. Those women and many more fought difficult battles in male dominated arenas.
Integrity and authenticity.
Empathy.
Integrity.
Elected officials need to vote their conscience and their district. We have a responsibility to be transparent about our core values and beliefs and then legislate accordingly.
If I do nothing else I feel that ensuring pregnant people in Colorado have the right to access the full range of reproductive healthcare including abortion through our Reproductive Health Equity Act is an important legacy.
As an historical documentary filmmaker it is hard for me to say what I remember because I have watched so many hours of original footage. I do remember watching the moon landing in 1969 when I must have been about 6 years old.
During high school I worked on Capitol Hill in a Congressional office my Junior year.
I worked as a babysitter, nanny and summer school teacher's aide as well as a lifeguard to earn money.
My first job out of college was as a Secondary School Social Studies teacher.
Obviously, we need the Governor to sign our bills and so it is appropriate that we work with the Governor's office as legislation moves through the Legislature. However, the Legislature is the law-making arm of our government and we have a duty to set policy and craft our laws.
Both the climate crisis and our social inequities - economic, racial, justice - which are interrelated, pose the greatest challenges to Colorado.
Åre there unicameral state legislatures? I like our current system.
No, I think the most important qualifications for legislators are their life experiences and that our government should look like our people. We need all ages, identities, faith traditions, and areas of previous employment.
I am a collaborative lawmaker and most of my colleagues are as well. It is a team sport, individualism does not make for good legislation.
We have a newly formed non-partisan Redistricting Commission. They were tasked with two main considerations - keeping communities of interest together and competitiveness. Our Commission did increase competitiveness but I believe did not do a good enough job of considering communities of interest.
I enjoy the opportunities present on Transportation and Local Government Committee to address the needs of our growing state for housing and infrastructure while acknowledging we are a Local Control state.
Energy and Environment Committee is where all major legislation addressing Climate Change pass through and that has been a challenge and a privilege.
I was recently invited to lunch my a woman who wanted me to know that thanks to a bill we ran on required training in Domestic Violence for Court Personnel she has received a fair evaluation in Family Court. She has hopes for justice for her children for the first time in 7 years.
We should act as a evaluator of emergency powers when used by the Governor.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
