Background: Substitute teacher.

Why I got into public service:

Top Issue: Public safety. I want my nieces and nephew to feel safe in their own neighborhood.

Guiding Value: Equal opportunity for all, special privileges for none. I am committed to ensuring that the great American Dream is within reach for all Coloradoans.

#1 Rule of Politics: Keep your word. Your word is your bond.

First Job: Delivering the Aurora Sentinel (the local newspaper).
