Staying True to Colorado Values: A Look Ahead at the 2026 Legislative Session

As we head into the 2026 legislative session, Coloradans once again find themselves at a crossroads. Our state continues to evolve, but that doesn’t mean our values should. In fact, during times of rapid change, consistency and clarity of vision become more important than ever. That’s why I remain firmly committed to upholding the conservative values that families in Senate District 13 rely on: individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, public safety, and local decision-making.

In this preview of what’s ahead, I’d like to share the principles guiding my legislative priorities and what you can expect in the next session.

Defending Colorado Values: Not Redefining Them

The word “progress” often gets thrown around in politics, but it’s important to ask: progress toward what? For me, true progress means protecting constitutional freedoms, empowering families through school choice, ensuring affordability for working Coloradans, and making sure government stays transparent and limited.

These aren’t just talking points; they’re guiding principles that have shaped my work and will continue to drive my efforts in 2026.

Key Legislative Priorities for 2026

Here’s what I’ll be focused on as we prepare for the upcoming legislative session in the Colorado State Senate District 13:

1. Strengthening Parental Rights and Education Options

Parents, not bureaucrats, should decide what’s best for their children. In 2026, I’ll continue working to:

  • Expand school choice and charter school access
  • Ensure transparency in curriculum and classroom materials
  • Promote career pathways and workforce development for high school students

2. Fighting for Fiscal Sanity

Inflation continues to strain family budgets. I’ll be pushing back against overspending and proposing legislation that:

  • Prioritizes core government services
  • Reduces unnecessary taxes and fees
  • Encourages affordable housing and local economic development

3. Defending Constitutional Freedoms

I will always protect:

  • Free speech and freedom of expression
  • Your right to medical and religious freedom

These freedoms are not negotiable. The laws we pass in Denver must reflect the rights guaranteed in the U.S. and Colorado Constitutions.

4. Public Safety and Community Trust

Communities in Brighton, Weld County, and across District 13 deserve to feel safe. I’ll continue supporting:

  • Law enforcement funding and training
  • Policies that prioritize victims’ rights
  • Accountability for rising crime and illegal drug trafficking

Why Knowing Your Leaders Matters

Too often, legislation is passed quietly—without much public input or scrutiny. That’s why it matters who’s at the table in Denver. Your state senator should reflect your values, not push a pre-packaged agenda from special interests or outside groups.

I believe in transparency, accessibility, and accountability. That’s why I hold town halls, meet with families and business owners across District 13, and stay active in conversations that matter to you.

If you ever wonder what I stand for, you don’t have to guess.

How You Can Get Involved

Your voice matters. Whether it’s attending a town hall, volunteering for a community project, or sharing your thoughts with my office, you are a critical part of the legislative process.

In Summary

The 2026 legislative session presents an opportunity, not for radical change, but for reaffirming the values that make Colorado strong. In Colorado State Senate District 13, I’ll continue fighting for policies that protect your freedoms, strengthen families, and hold government accountable.

Let’s keep Colorado moving forward, without losing sight of what matters most.
