Q & A
Answers for most frequently asked questions.
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 Homeownership?
The cost of a home has 4 components:
1)Price - The price of a home is directly impacted by the fees local governments are charging for utility tap fees including water lines.
➦I would redirect the current special interest tax deductions (~$250 million per year) as incentives to developers to assist them in paying those fees in exchange for building smaller more affordable starter homes (<2000 sq feet).
2)Interest Rate - typically outside a state's control.
3)Taxes - Taxes have been increasing as much as 64% on some homeowners and are set to be raised again.
➦ I would create a homestead exemption for everyone for their primary residence. Decreasing the tax burden for new homeowners and keeping all of us in our homes.
4) Insurance - 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.
➦ I would create expand the state's leadership and response to urban wildfires, work with local governments and communities on wildfire mitigation.
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!
What is your energy policy?
Electricity demand is at an all-time high—and it continues to grow.
As someone with a background in technology, I understand that AI and data centers are a major part of our future. The Internet of Things—our connected televisions, appliances, vehicles, thermostats, and smart devices—is also driving significant increases in electricity consumption.
That means we must increase electrical generation, not decrease it.
My number one priority is reliability and resilience. Grid failures and prolonged outages in other states have led to hundreds of preventable deaths. I do not want to see that happen in Colorado. We must also strengthen our grid against cybersecurity threats to protect our infrastructure and our citizens.
My second priority is affordability for all Coloradans. Energy is not a luxury—it is essential for heating our homes, cooling them in the summer, running businesses, and powering our daily lives. Families and seniors on fixed incomes should not have to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for groceries. Our energy policy must keep costs stable and predictable.
➦ I would not support decommissioning any of our existing generation facilities as I do not believe it can be done and maintain stability. Instead, we should maintain and strengthen our current capacity while building for the future.
Colorado is one of the five sunniest states in the nation.
➦ I would continue using our abundant solar and wind resources as part of a diversified energy portfolio.
However, I do not support the current direction of eliminating natural gas for power generation and heating. At this time, I do not believe that transition can be accomplished reliably without risking grid stability.
➦ I would also support expanding nuclear energy as a clean-energy solution. In particular, I believe we should invest in research and development of next-generation technologies such as thorium molten salt reactors (MSRs).
Thorium offers several potential advantages:
It is far more abundant than uranium.
It carries significantly reduced long-term waste concerns.
It has strong non-proliferation characteristics.
It produces zero CO₂ during operation.
MSR designs may improve safety and even utilize existing nuclear waste as fuel.
It can complement renewable energy by providing stable, reliable baseload power.
Colorado needs an energy strategy that is realistic, resilient, and forward-looking—one that ensures reliability while responsibly investing in the technologies of tomorrow.
My leadership background combines military service, engineering expertise, business experience, and cybersecurity.
The military taught me discipline, accountability, and how to lead under pressure. In my civilian career, I’ve worked in engineering and cybersecurity and have been employed as a leader by today’s top technology firms. That experience has given me firsthand insight into how large, complex organizations operate and how critical infrastructure is protected in an increasingly digital world.
I’ve worked with Fortune 50 companies across the country and internationally, and I understand the real challenges they face. I know regulation has a role—but it must be thoughtful and targeted so it protects people without stifling growth.
I bring a practical, results-driven approach grounded in real-world experience and the realities of today’s interconnected economy.
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.
Affordability – Residents Are Feeling Nickel-and-Dimed
The top question we hear: “Why does everything keep getting more expensive?” From housing to groceries, deliveries, and small business costs, residents are feeling squeezed.
Enterprise Fees:
Enterprise fees have gone up 3,400% since 1994!
➦Many of these fees are in violation of TABOR requirements and need to be rescinded.
Housing Costs:
Property taxes and skyrocketing homeowners insurance are making it harder to afford a home. Insurance rates are spiking because we don’t have proactive wildfire prevention near neighborhoods, hitting homeowners with double or triple premiums.
Delivery Fees:
A $0.28 fee on every home delivery may seem small—but it adds up.
➦This fee doesn’t meet TABOR requirements and should be rescinded.
Food Costs:
➦Expanding tax exemptions to cover prepackaged grocery meals and restaurant deliveries could put more money back in families’ pockets.
Small Business Costs:
Small businesses are hit with rising license fees and payroll taxes, which get passed on to customers.
➦ Reducing regulations and lowering fees would support local businesses, help create jobs, and stop residents from being charged for everything under the sun.
Bottom Line:
Colorado residents are tired of being nickel-and-dimed. Policies that reduce taxes, fees, and unnecessary charges can make life more affordable for everyone.
