Our farmers and ranchers are the bedrock of many of our communities and are a core part of our heritage. Many work the land that their parents and grandparents tended before them for generations. Right now, Washington is making their lives harder — not easier. That has to stop. I’ll fight for our family farms, ranches, and small agriculture businesses to strengthen rural economies for the next generation. We must pass a robust Farm Bill and keep foreign entities out of Colorado water and farmland ownership.

Water is the key to life here in Colorado. As an elected member of my local water and sanitation district board, I see firsthand what’s at stake — from the challenges facing the Colorado River Compact, to attempts to take more water out of our home basins, and what this historic drought is doing to our water supply. We need someone in Congress who will hold the line for our district’s water resources. This is job number one.

I’m a realist when it comes to energy. Turning an aircraft carrier takes energy and time. My approach is practical: we need to focus on using our legacy energy resources that are produced right here in CO-03 as we simultaneously press hard on the advancement and deployment of alternative energies. This transition window isn’t just pragmatic, it’s the only way we meet our ever increasing energy demand. An all-of-the-above approach is the only way we provide the reliable and affordable energy our communities need and deserve.

I look at our public lands and I see something worth fighting for. Right now, our national forests across CD3 have seen massive reductions in field staff. That’s not a policy disagreement; that’s a crisis for our lands, our communities, and our economies that depend on these multiuse lands being protected. We need to oppose efforts to sell or transfer out public lands to private interests and support our firefighters and increase fire resilience.

We need to make sure the people who live in and love our district — from young people to families — can stay here. Right now, they are being priced out. Whether you’re a rancher’s kid hoping to take over the business or a working family trying to put down roots, you deserve a real shot. We need to build more housing and bring down the cost of staying here. Let’s stop Wall Street behemoths from buying up homes and driving up rents, repeal outdated red tape that hinders construction, and invest in housing construction in our rural communities.

The One Big Ugly Bill completely turned our health care network on its head — Medicare, Medicaid, & SNAP were decimated and people were kicked off their health plans. Rural hospitals are lifelines for both health care and jobs. When they close, communities lose. That’s a crisis. I will put healthcare at the top of my priority list. We’ve got to keep rural hospitals open and funded, allow medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, and protect women’s access to reproductive healthcare.

Washington has failed on immigration for decades. I believe we can secure our border, uphold our values, and fix a broken system — all at the same time. That’s not a partisan position; it’s a practical one. And practical solutions are what this district deserves. Part of immigration reform needs to include a path to citizenship for long-term, law-abiding community members, and provide for more immigration judges to detain the bad guys and protect those seeking safe haven.

Congress exists to represent the people, not to rubber-stamp whoever’s in the Oval Office. I’ll have the backbone to fight for what’s right, even at my own peril. This includes banning all federal officials from trading stocks, ending dark money in political spending, enacting term limits, and closing the revolving door between Congress and cushy lobbyist gigs.

Too many people in Western and Southern Colorado feel like DC doesn’t know they exist — let alone hear them. That has to change. As your Congressman, I’ll be accessible, responsive, and relentless about cutting through government bureaucracy to help everyday people get results. Whether it’s a veteran waiting on benefits, a family navigating a federal agency, or a small business owner fighting for answers — I’ll do the unglamorous but essential work of constituent service that too many politicians skip. No photo ops. No excuses. Just a fighter who answers the call, rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work for Colorado.

Affordability is at the top of my priority list. Think about all the people in our district and what matters most to them — its cost of living: housing costs, access to health care, and prices at the pump and the grocery store for that matter. Washington has been making it harder for Coloradans to make ends meet. I’m going to fight to make it easier, starting with repealing these disastrous tariffs and expanding the Family Tax Credits.
