“I am running to rebalance an economy that favors wealth and power over working people. I will fight to lower everyday costs, raise wages, and protect workers from corporate abuse. I believe our economy should reward hard work, strengthen local communities, and give every family a fair shot at a stable and hopeful future.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“I am running to protect and expand access to high-quality care so people in Grand Junction can get the care they need when they need it. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. I support patient-centered healthcare that keeps medical decisions between patients and doctors, not politicians.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
