Housing We must remove barriers to building housing, so that supply can meet demand (and keep prices affordable), and we must contain price gouging in the meantime, and encourage owners of empty housing units to put those units back into the supply pool. Hardworking Coloradans should be able to afford to rent or buy homes in the communities where they live and work. Education We need to increase, not decrease, our investments in education. And we need to empower schools to further break out of one-size-fits-all education, so that we can give each child what they need, and so that we can better move toward the education system we will want in another generation. Healthcare The best role of government is to reduce barriers to realizing healthcare for all, and to ensure that business and profit motives are able to foster innovation. Government must also safeguard against the risks of mixing profit-seeking with the project of meeting our individual human rights as patients. Wages / Job Benefits I believe in strong labor unions, living wages, and everyone’s right to job security as they navigate personal and family illness, disability, and having children.
