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.
By investing in workforce development, apprenticeship training, and growing industries like healthcare, technology, and renewable energy, we can open the door to career advancement and better opportunities for Colorado families. After I left the Army, I fought alongside other veterans to bring the new VA hospital to Aurora and recently we helped secure a $25 million grant for infrastructure investment in Aurora. We will continue fighting to bring similar high-paying jobs to the 6th District.
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. 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. We must reduce these barriers for people so that they have opportunities to get ahead.

Washington is broken. Too many politicians are in the pockets of the special interests that spend millions of dollars to get them elected. They stack the decks for their donors and Colorado families pay the price. We can unrig the system by ending the flood of unlimited and undisclosed money that is drowning out the voices of regular people. I am fighting to bring accountability to Washington and end the corrupting influence of special interest money so that our government serves all Coloradans. This is why I promise not to take a dime of corporate PAC money, just like I promised in 2018.
I was proud to introduce my first piece of legislation as a Member of Congress, the End Dark Money Act, to crack down on dark money in politics and close the loophole that allows mega-donors to hide their political contributions through so-called “social welfare” organizations. I also cosponsored the DISCLOSE Act, which would require organizations spending money in federal elections to disclose their donors, and the SHIELD act which requires candidates to report any offers of assistance from foreign governments to law enforcement.

We cannot ignore the inequality that still exists in many communities. It is the duty of anyone who believes in our nation’s core values to stand up with one voice and clearly denounce all forms of bigotry and hatred. Communities of color in America have been torn apart by systemic injustices. We must acknowledge this and tackle inequities where they exist so that we can provide safety, opportunity, and dignity for all Americans. I fought beside soldiers who came from different racial, religious, and economic backgrounds – people who forged bonds and became brothers and sisters. We need to move toward a place of respect, understanding, and honesty so that we can fight inequality everywhere.
Mass incarceration, unequal application of the justice system based on race and class, and the long-term impacts of incarceration on employment, housing, and re-integration point to a criminal justice system in need of reform. 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. 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. Nationally, roughly 77% of those released from prison are rearrested within five years. Research shows that longer sentences actually make recidivism more, not less likely. The deck is stacked against individuals with a criminal conviction who struggle to re-enter the workforce, find stable housing, and maintain a steady paycheck. Many of those in the criminal justice system suffer from mental illness or substance abuse, and prisons remain ill-equipped to offer treatment and rehabilitation services.
In Congress, I’ve helped bridge the trust divide between law enforcement and our community. I’ve worked to reform law enforcement training to better address the inequities facing our communities of color and I will continue this work to protect civil rights and our community.

America’s democratic institutions and the rule of law must be defended. One of my proudest accomplishments is leading paratroopers in combat for this country. Wearing the American flag on my shoulder and fighting for America is something that left a lasting mark on my life and my values. I saw countries that struggled to enforce the rule of law, due process, and individual rights. I served in the Army in countries where citizens cannot depend on these pillars of democracy. When I came home, I continued my fight for these same values as I began my legal career and took another oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. I experienced first-hand the strengths and weaknesses of our criminal justice system – including prosecuting criminal cases and representing those accused of crimes. As a lawyer who specialized in conducting independent legal investigations, I know how critical Congress’ power to investigate is for understanding facts, discovering corruption and culpability, and holding people accountable. I spent time in countries where fundamental rights—like the right to vote—aren’t guaranteed. So I know that we must protect those rights here at home. That’s why I cosponsored the Voting Rights Advancement Act to help ensure that all Americans who are eligible to vote can exercise that right.

Young people should have access to high quality education, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. I owe much of my success to strong, public, neighborhood schools. Every child deserves the same. 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.
America has the best colleges, universities, and technical training in the world, but all too often our students cannot afford to pursue their education. Americans owe over $1.52 trillion in student loan debt. We must ensure that student loans are affordable, costs of higher education are reasonable, and that community colleges and technical training opportunities are available and reliable so that job training and re-training for tomorrow’s economy is available to all Americans. All hardworking students should have the option to pursue education or advanced training without fear of a massive price tag.
Our young people should not have to make the choice between an education and eventually owning a home. In Congress I supported legislation to allow people to refinance and consolidate student loans, lower education costs, and provide loan forgiveness to those who work in public service careers.

We must fight climate change and protect the Colorado that we love. Climate change is the defining issue of our age. This is not just a vague idea for my family or any family that enjoys Colorado’s beautiful outdoors. My children are 5th generation Coloradans and our family has already seen the effects of long-term drought, higher temperatures, and natural disasters.
America must live up to its role as a global leader to help solve our world’s most pressing problems, especially climate change. We must re-engage with other nations to work towards climate solutions, including encouraging clean energy transitions. Pushing for renewable energy development will also help grow our economy and create good-paying jobs.
In Congress, I have launched a “Sustainable Power Initiative” to bring together military, economic, defense, energy, and environmental leaders to discuss how to improve energy efficiency and environmental resiliency at the Department of Defense. As a result, my Military Installation Resilience Assuredness (MIRA) Act, which improves the security and resilience of military installations that are vulnerable to the damaging effects of extreme weather and climate change, was signed into law.
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. Communities across America depend on government funding to help treat drinking water, detect lead contamination, clean up abandoned mines and waste sites, and ensure our families are safe from pollution. Leaving a healthy planet for our children and grandchildren will always be a priority for me and should never be a pawn in political games.

When I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I learned firsthand that American security and prosperity requires a dynamic, nuanced, and engaged foreign policy, where America projects its interests rather than withdraws behind our borders. Over the last 20 years, our foreign policy has increasingly been defined by the three “D’s”—Diplomacy, Defense, and Development. While spending the largest portion of our budget on defense, our security and economic interests are increasingly dependent on negotiating a complex, competitive, and often dangerous world. Diplomacy saves American lives.
America needs to resume its global leadership position in international institutions, and promote human rights and democracy abroad. The current administration’s foreign policy has frightened our allies, weakened our alliances, and signaled to our enemies that we are weak. Retreating from our global leadership position is not an option, and will not move the world to a safer, cleaner, and more prosperous place for our children.

Each year, 36,000 Americans die from gun violence and another 100,000 are shot. Here in Colorado we’ve dealt with two of the nation’s worst mass shootings in Aurora and Littleton. Coloradans know that we do not have to choose between Second Amendment protections and safer communities. As a hunter and former Army Ranger, I know that there are many responsible gun owners in Colorado, but I also know what guns are capable of and that common-sense reforms are needed to reduce gun violence.
Common-sense laws that are supported by a huge majority of Americans can help make our communities, schools, and homes safer from gun violence. Background checks have prevented over 2.4 million gun sales to felons, domestic abusers, and dangerously mentally ill individuals. But, loopholes still allow too many gun sales to go unchecked. I know that Coloradans support closing these types of loopholes, and I have fought to do that in Congress. I introduced legislation to close the “Colorado Loophole,” which would prohibit the sale of long guns to residents from other states who could not buy them in their own home state, am vice chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, and was a proud supporter of H.R. 8 to expand background checks for all gun sales.
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.

Health care is a right, not a privilege. No American should suffer because they cannot afford health care. It’s that simple. For too long, career politicians in Washington have played politics with the lives of Americans whose survival depends on affordable health care. We need to move past gridlock and work toward a bipartisan solution. The Affordable Care Act needs improvement in certain areas, but has covered tens of millions of previously uninsured Americans. I want to fix the system. We can begin by stabilizing the individual market and lowering prescription drug prices to increase competition and make them more affordable for consumers. I proudly lead the Freedom from Price Gouging Act, which would prevent drug manufacturers from profiting off unreasonable price hikes to help solve these problems.
The Affordable Care Act increased coverage so that 90% of Americans can access health care, but we cannot settle for anything less than full coverage for all Americans. That’s why I believe that we must not only protect the hard-won gains of the ACA, but also work towards universal health care. I will fight for a public option that will reduce costs and increase choices for consumers. Over 170 million Americans get coverage through their employers and many of them want to keep their coverage. Another 20 million are covered by Medicare Advantage and do not want to lose their plan. Ensuring universal health care coverage while also not forcing people to give up coverage that works for them is a difficult balance. We must fight for universal coverage because no American should go bankrupt to afford health care for themselves or their family.

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. Colorado, along with the rest of the nation, is facing an affordable housing crisis, and 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.
114,000 families in Colorado can’t find an affordable home. And, 1 in 4 families in Colorado’s 6th District that rent spend more than 50% of their income on rent. We need to leverage government resources in partnership with private sector activity to create new affordable housing based on a multi-pronged approach that supports both for sale and rental housing.

Our immigrant neighbors deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and our laws should reflect that. During my time in the Army, I served with people of all backgrounds, political persuasions, and nationalities. I served with immigrants whose commitment to our country was never questioned. All that mattered was that we had each other’s backs. The 6th District is home to over 100,000 immigrants who help make our community such a special place to live.
I believe we should provide the Dreamers with a path towards citizenship and reform the immigration system to bring the millions of other undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and provide certainty to them and their families. I will always support immigrants brought to America as children. Family unity is a core value of our society and many immigrants also have family members who are American citizens. Our immigration and visa policies must reflect that. Keeping families together has been part of our visa system for decades, and for good reason. We must insure that family-based immigration stands on equal footing with business- and skills-based immigration.
Making sure we have secure borders that prevent the illegal flow of weapons and drugs into America is a priority for every member of Congress. But we need to be smarter about the border and not waste billions of dollars on an ineffective wall. American businesses need workers in virtually all sectors of the economy and a comprehensive approach to immigration reform and visa processing is necessary.
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.

No American should face discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation. In 2012, I was honored to speak at the Democratic National Convention in support of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I was extremely proud to speak on behalf of President Obama and to stand up for equality in the military. Since the end of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, the LGBTQ community has won several critical legal battles, including marriage equality.
However, our LGBTQ neighbors continue to be a target of hate, discrimination, and unequal treatment under the law. It is no coincidence that LQBTQ youth have the highest rate of suicide in the nation. Retaliating against the success of marriage equality in 2015, many states are enacting draconian legislation that will allow businesses to refuse services to same-sex couples on the basis of religious freedom, and in 28 states there are no laws to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination in their employment, housing, or other matters.
We should continually strive to expand marriage equality, workplace protections, enforcement of hate crime laws, and protections for LGBTQ military personnel and veterans. In Congress, I am fighting to ensure that LGBTQ Americans have the same rights and protections that all Americans should have, cosponsoring the Equality Act. No American should face discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation. In 2012, I was honored to speak at the Democratic National Convention in support of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I was extremely proud to speak on behalf of President Obama and to stand up for equality in the military.
