Just a guy digging through Colorado politics, budgets, and campaigns so voters know what’s actually going on. No party loyalty. No scripted talking points.








My friend, in America we have what is called a "nightstand gun", on the table next to our bed. Just in case. A gun is the first thing I see when I open my eyes every morning.


I sit on the Appropriations Committee and I have watched this budget process up close. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼. They are raiding money already promised to 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆. 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿. It is reckless, irresponsible, and it puts our most vulnerable citizens last. 𝗔𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. We will reclaim government transparency and fiscal responsibility, pass a truly balanced budget, protect our seniors and children, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.
