Housing Ensuring that everyone has access to affordable housing is critical to ensuring the strength of our economy and the social fabric of our nation, and for too long Washington has ignored the growing housing crisis. Foreign Policy America needs to resume its global leadership position in international institutions, and promote human rights and democracy abroad. Economy We must also work to ensure that our economy provides opportunities for people to move up the economic ladder by defending consumer protections and corporate oversight. For many families, child care, home ownership, and retirement are all economic barriers. Infrastructure / Transportation I am also fighting to ensure that our public lands are not sold off to the highest bidder or destroyed by irresponsible drilling and mining, and I will continue to do so if reelected. Infrastructure / Transportation We must invest in infrastructure and transportation systems that help us build tomorrow’s economy. I am focusing on two main priorities to accomplish this: creating access for all Coloradans to high-speed internet and planning transportation systems that provide greater choice and sustainability. Abortion / Contraception I will always fight to protect a woman’s right to choose. Women should have the right to make healthcare decisions that are right for them and their families. Guns I will not only refuse corporate PAC money, but I will also never take a dime from the gun lobby. My priority in Congress is to work towards solutions to gun violence and I will always put our children, our families, and our communities first. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I support innovative, data-based reforms such as restorative justice that are designed to keep the public safer and address the underlying causes of crimes. Wages / Job Benefits We must attract better jobs that have good wages and benefits to ensure that Coloradans can afford a home, finance a college education or specialized job training, access health care, and save for retirement. Criminal Justice / Public Safety In Congress, I am fighting for justice and equal treatment for all by promoting criminal justice policies to improve law enforcement, reduce incarceration, decriminalize marijuana, and strengthen communities. Environment / Energy We must fight climate change and protect the Colorado that we love. Climate change is the defining issue of our age. Immigration We should support the policy that has been in place for generations allowing an expedited path to citizenship for people who serve in the military. For those who want to strengthen our nation and to provide for their families, we should find a way to welcome them. Defense / Veterans We must fight for those who fought for us by protecting veterans’ benefits, improving the benefits claims system, and improving access, quality, and timeliness of VA health care. Healthcare We must fight for universal coverage because no American should go bankrupt to afford health care for themselves or their family. Housing I will continue to make increasing the supply of affordable housing one of my goals in Congress. No one should be forced to choose between a roof over their heads, food on the table, medical care, or an education. Education Colorado’s public school system has left too many children behind. In Congress, I am fighting against cuts in funding and voucher proposals that will only make this problem worse for Colorado’s families. Civil Rights In Congress I have and will always fight to ensure that women are paid equally for the work they do. Healthcare Health care is a right, not a privilege. No American should suffer because they cannot afford health care. Wages / Job Benefits Coloradans deserve good-paying jobs that can support their families. Wages and benefits have failed to keep up with the cost of living in Colorado, especially in the expensive Metro area. Hardworking Coloradans are struggling to raise their families and achieve the American Dream.
