What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Do you believe that compromise is required or desirable for policymaking? Why?
What public policy areas are you passionate about?
What is your opinion of the current integrity of elections?
Honesty, to do what she says she will do when she wins the election. Remembering that any money that is spent is the money of her constituents, not an endless treasury to be plundered. Listening to people she may not agree with and then using a means to come to conclusions that will benefit her district and all of Colorado. Not allowing lobbyists to manipulate her time and remembering that she is representing her constituency. Be able to live up to the name "Honorable".
I believe in conpromise but not capitulation. When compromise is needed both sides must be able to give up something. There may be times when no compromise is also required.
I am passionate about policies that affect the family. So, I'm passionate about every law that is written. Families need housing that they can afford, healthcare, clean water and streets they can walk down without stumbling over the drug impaired. They need education for their children that will enable them to be successful in their futures, and teachers that are good role models. Streets and parks should be safe and clean. Girls should be safe in the locker rooms, and allowed to compete with other girls, not boys who say they are girls. Children must be kept safe from predators and traffickers.
I don't have much confidence in Colorado elections. I did some canvassing after the 2020 election and found numerous cases of empty homes with sometimes up to seven voters registered there. The machines are useless when considering authentic counting of ballots.
