Parents, not bureaucrats, should have the final say in how their children are raised and educated. Young couples should be able to afford a home and start a family without drowning in debt.
As a proud 32 year veteran of the United States Army, Tim understands duty, sacrifice, and responsibility. He believes public office is about service, not status or personal ambition.
Every family deserves to feel safe. Tim will fight to restore law and order to our communities, protect the most vulnerable in our society, and safeguard the rights of our citizens.

The cost of living isn't a political talking point, it's daily life.
I've talked with parents stretching every paycheck, retirees watching fixed incomes fall behind, and small-business owners wondering what new expense is coming next.
I believe Washington should make it easier for families to get ahead, not harder. That means responsible spending, affordable energy, sensible regulation, and policies that encourage growth instead of driving up costs.
Before I support any legislation, I'll ask one simple question:
Will this make life more affordable for the people of CD-7?
If the answer is no I will work to make it better or I will oppose it.

Owning a home shouldn't feel out of reach for the next generation.
Whether it's young families in Jefferson County, workers in our mountain communities, or longtime residents facing rising costs, housing has become one of Colorado's biggest challenges.
Washington can't solve every local problem, but it can stop making them worse. I'll support policies that reduce inflation, encourage responsible growth, strengthen our economy, and remove unnecessary barriers that increase housing costs.
Strong communities begin when people can afford to live, work, and raise their families where they choose to call home.

Water is more than a resource, it is Colorado's lifeblood.
It connects our mountain communities, our farms and ranches, our businesses, and every neighborhood across CD-7.
Colorado has spent generations developing practical solutions that fit our unique needs. I will work to protect our water rights, strengthen storage and infrastructure, improve forest health, and support long-term conservation without imposing one-size-fits-all solutions from Washington.
Decisions about Colorado's water should be guided by Colorado's people and Colorado's expertise.

Public safety isn't about politics, it's about peace of mind.
Every family deserves to feel safe at home, at school, and in their neighborhood.
I'll support law enforcement, first responders, and efforts to combat violent crime and the fentanyl epidemic while ensuring local communities have the flexibility to meet their own needs.
Safe communities allow businesses to grow, children to thrive, and neighbors to invest in one another.
A government's first responsibility is protecting the people it serves, and that responsibility should never become a partisan issue.

The American Dream should still be possible in Colorado.
That means good jobs, thriving small businesses, strong local industries, and opportunities that allow our children to build their futures here instead of somewhere else.
I will support policies that encourage entrepreneurship, strengthen vocational education, invest wisely in infrastructure, and promote responsible energy development and innovation.
A government doesn't create prosperity on its own, but it should create an environment where hardworking people have every opportunity to succeed!

Healthy forests protect our homes, our water, our economy, and our way of life. Every wildfire reminds us that waiting is not a strategy.
I will support active forest management, wildfire mitigation, watershed protection, and close cooperation with local communities and first responders. Colorado deserves practical stewardship that preserves both for future generations.
We do not have to choose between protecting our environment and protecting our families.

I am running to represent the people of Colorado's Seventh District, not a political party, not Washington, and not the loudest voices on TV.
That means I'll work with anyone who has a good idea, and I'll stand up to anyone - Republican or Democrat - when I believe they're putting politics ahead of Colorado. Independent judgment isn't about creating conflict. It's about remembering who sent me to Congress in the first place.
If a proposal helps the people of CD-7, I'll support it. If it doesn't, I'll fight to improve it or vote no.

American workers deserve the opportunity to build strong, stable lives by making the things our families and nation depend on.
Rebuilding critical manufacturing here at home while securing reliable supply chains for medicines, defense, energy, and semiconductors is not just sound economics. It is a responsibility to secure and preserve America’s prosperity for the next generation.
When we use sensible trade policy to thoughtfully to counter unfair market practices that hurt our nation's workers, we are not turning away from the world; we are simply insisting on fair rules so that honest competition can thrive. At the same time, we warmly welcome honest investment from allies who genuinely strengthen our capacity and shared prosperity.
By reviving our industrial heartland with common sense and responsibility, we create dignity in work, security for families, and a stronger foundation that lets innovation, opportunity, and hope take deeper root across our land.
Free markets flourish best with fair play and national resilience.

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 38 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $28K.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
Total reported receipts $109,339
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 4 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($7,194) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
