Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Immigration and border policy

Candidate position

Our country has always been a nation of immigrants. Jeff strongly supports legal immigration and expanding opportunities for legal immigrants. But a country that can’t control its border isn’t meeting its fundamental responsibilities toward its citizens—including national security, economic security, and upholding the rule of law.

Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability

Education, child care, and workforce training

Candidate position

Jeff is open to balanced and thoughtful solutions that enable parents to work and raise their children. Pushing for jobs that let working families support themselves is key. But Jeff will also explore ways to find savings for families across rural Colorado. This includes the Child Tax Credit as well as tax credits and investments that assist parents struggling with child care.

Energy, technology, water, and environment

Technology and cybersecurity

Candidate position

Jeff believes that new innovations like blockchain technology and cryptocurrency have the potential to radically change our society for the better. We shouldn’t let countries like China leap ahead of American innovators. Legislation like the FIT21 bill (H.R. 4763) represents the kind of bipartisan lawmaking we need to see more of in Washington. In Congress, Jeff will fight to make sure that there are sensible regulations for advancing technologies like cryptocurrency, encouraging the innovation and job growth they bring, all while protecting the public from bad actors.

VALUES, MARRIAGE, AND FAMILY

Candidate position

As a conservative, Jeff is committed to the Constitution, limited government, individual rights, free markets, and the rule of law. He knows government can be a force for good but is usually best when it creates the conditions for individuals, families, and businesses to thrive. Jeff knows that to advance these principles Colorado needs a serious leader focused on discussing the issues, and avoiding the angry and cynical kind of politics that wears people down.

Immigration and border policy

Candidate position

We must secure the border immediately. Border Patrol and law enforcement must be given all resources necessary to enforce the law. The federal government must also do everything in its power to work with local law enforcement to crack down on drugs and crime flowing into our country.

Better Jobs for a Better Economy

Candidate position

Government plays an important role in economic development. But government is best when focused on creating conditions that allow businesses themselves to thrive. Jeff will target unnecessary mandates and regulations. Jeff will also work hard to incentivize investments from any sized company, but his primary focus will be on helping small businesses start, grow, and succeed.

Candidate position

Energy independence is most important. But it’s also a win for the United States when we export our energy resources: Colorado energy can substitute for higher-carbon fuels abroad, and exporting Colorado energy will protect our allies from energy blackmail from countries like Russia or China.

Better Jobs for a Better Economy

Candidate position

When it comes to writing laws, big businesses don’t need help. If rural Colorado doesn’t have a member of Congress who cares about and understands policy, then laws and regulations get written by big business, and for big business. Jeff will fight to make sure laws and regulations treat small businesses in rural Colorado on a level playing field.

Energy, technology, water, and environment

Candidate position

Jeff knows permitting and regulatory reform are necessary to speed both traditional and low-carbon energy development. And with increasing demands for electricity, Colorado must do everything it can to support energy projects—particularly reliable generation that’s available on demand.

Energy and Energy Independence

Candidate position

Rural Colorado has only one voice in the U.S. House of Representatives when it comes to water. Colorado needs a serious and credible leader to push water users in the lower Colorado River Basin to live within their water means. Jeff will be that voice. Separately, he’ll also push to eradicate water-guzzling and non-native plant species like the tamarisk. He’ll target specific changes to federal law permitting processes that allow development of critical Colorado water projects that benefit rural Colorado.

Most importantly, Jeff will always work closely with Colorado’s agriculture community. In making water policy decisions, Jeff will listen first—and last—to the water users who make a living from irrigating and the water providers who serve Coloradans in the 3rd Congressional District.

Agriculture and rural policy

Candidate position

The Farm Bill, along with policies relating to trade, labor, federal regulations, grazing, land use, water and wolves all impact agriculture. Jeff will work hard to protect the livelihood of farmers and ranchers throughout rural Colorado—no matter the size, and whether they’re first-generation or legacy producers.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
