--Maria Orms

Trusted Leader

Proven Results

Hello, I'm Maria Orms.

My Why.

I am running to be your next governor because I love Colorado and I love my country. I know Technology and AI are here and I have seen our rights being eroded and society manipulated as we transition into a digital world. Current elected leaders either don't understand technology and how it's being used against us or don't care.

My military, educational and professional background has provided me a unique view into the capabilities and strategies that are now being used to diminish our rights as Coloradans. I will ensure that our constitutional rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to free and fair elections, freedom against search and seizure, as well as just basic security and safety are always protected.

MY BACKGROUND

I went into the Air Force after high school to serve my country and to take advantage of the educational benefits. I worked in securing top-secret military communications systems all over the world and had travelled to 14 countries before I was the age of 23. I was able to see first hand the way other countries and people lived and to really appreciate the freedoms we enjoy in our country and sometimes take for granted.

I used my GI Bill to pay for my first degree and then with hard work and determination was able to complete a Masters in Engineering from the University of Colorado – Boulder and then a second Masters in Cybersecurity from the University of Denver.

I am a Mom with 2 daughters that we raised in the North Metro area. They both graduated from Colorado public high schools and are also serving/have served in the U.S. Air Force. I am married and now live in Douglas County with a husband who is also an Air Force veteran. We are an entire Air Force family.

Major Focus

✔ Freedom, Safety & Security

Ensuring the laws we pass directly impact the problems we face without impacting individual freedoms. Supporting the men and women of law enforcement to keep our communities safe.

✔ Government Accountability & Transparency

Ensuring that the process of creating the laws for our state, as well as the way taxes are allocated are openly shared with the public and the ability of the public to do an Open Records Request is accessible. Fair & legal taxes.

✔ Individual Homeownership

Dedicated to enabling, incentivizing and growing individual homeownership. The foundation of freedom and The American Dream.

✔ A Digital Bill of Rights

A Digital Bill of Rights grants YOU the control of your personal data and requires social media companies to disclose shadow-banning and restricts government employees from requesting shadow-banning on others.

Q&A

When is the Election?

Primary - June 30, 2026

General - November 3, 2026

Do you support parental rights?

Absolutely. No government can love and care for your children like you and the government should not be involved in your parenting choices.

Do you support TABOR?

The people of Colorado are privileged to be the only state with this protection and I will always support the will of the people.

How would you increase public safety?

I would first off, partner with the federal government. Our immigration system has created a mess and it will not be easy to correct, but partnering and having a positive communication channel would give us as a state more control on how it is handled.

How will you increase Individual Homeowneship?

The cost of a home has 4 components:
1)Price
2)Interest Rate
3)Taxes
4)Insurance
The government has control over the Taxes and Insurance. Taxes have been increasing as much as 64% on some homeowners. The State of Colorado is listed as the 2nd worst in the country for insurance because of our response to wild fires. The government can impact these and no other candidate is talking about this.
Owning your own home is the foundation of freedom in our country. The American Dream.
Communities are safer, neighborhoods are more cared for, we have a stronger sense of community when we own our own home and children have better outcomes in school with a more stable home life.
Literally ALL POSITIVES!

I would create policies, incentives and remove regulations to grow homeownership in our state. Subsidized low-income housing is not the answer.

Why do you think you would be a good governor with no prior public office experience?

I believe that not coming from a background in public office is an asset. The way things are being done now is broken and I will not accept business as usual.

What is your experience that you feel would be an asset?

I have military experience, business experience and engineering experience. I have lived in other countries and have worked with businesses all over the world. I know the challenges businesses face, the impact of regulation, when it is necessary and when it is not.

Do you support small businesses?

Absolutely and I will do everything to encourage, incentivize and enable them to grow and thrive.

What is a Digital Bill of Rights?

A Digital Bill of Rights gives you control over your personal data and the devices you use. It also requires social media companies to reveal how they are displaying search results to you and if they are shadow-banning you. It also prevents any government employee from requesting someone be shadow-banned.

We live in a technological world now and technology should be used to enhance not control our society.

No other candidate understands this issue and the technology behind it.
