Colorado dollars for Colorado

Source-published biography

Homegrown Coloradan I grew up here in Colorado, and I remember when my parents paid off credit cards with credit cards to get their small business off the ground. Back then, even struggling families like ours could live in a good home in a great school district. For too many Coloradans today that’s out of reach. By investing our state’s fiscal resources directly into our people, we can make a more affordable Colorado where everyone has the opportunity to work hard and earn a good life. Meet Jeff

Colorado raised, Colorado values

Source-published biography

About a year ago Rie and I welcomed our son Kit. We're raising him with the same Colorado values we both grew up on. He's already developing a love for our mountains and an understandable frustration with traffic on I-70. Along with our floppy dog Walt, we enjoy long walks on the community trails here in Greenwood Village.

Values-led problem solving

A few years ago I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Harvard. It's one of the most religiously diverse schools in the country, with people of all faiths and none. My time there taught me to bring diverse groups of people together around shared values, whatever the source of those values.

As Chair of Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, I made the toughest budget calls our state officials make. We navigated a billion dollars in cuts from TABOR while protecting education, healthcare, and public safety. That work gave me a line-by-line, program-by-program understanding of every lever in Colorado’s finances. I’ve chaired the committees that shape our state: Budget, Appropriations, Finance, Education — and yes, even the Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force.
