TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure is more than just roads and bridges—it's the backbone of our society. It encompasses everything from our public transit systems to our water treatment facilities, from broadband networks to our power grids. Strong, modern infrastructure is essential for our community's well-being, economic vitality, and overall quality of life. As your representative, I am committed to making strategic infrastructure investments that reflect our needs today and prepare us for tomorrow.
Modernizing Our Roads & Bridges
Colorado's roads and bridges are essential for our day-to-day lives, from getting to work or school to transporting goods across the state. It is crucial that we invest in maintaining, upgrading, and modernizing these critical systems to ensure safety, improve efficiency, and accommodate our growing population. I am committed to securing the resources we need for these vital improvements.
Enhancing Transportation Equity
Access to reliable, affordable transportation is a fundamental need. Yet too many Coloradans struggle with inadequate transit options, particularly in our rural communities and underserved urban areas. I am dedicated to improving transportation equity, ensuring that all residents—regardless of their location or income—have access to the transportation services they need. This includes investing in public transit, supporting multimodal transportation options, and making our roads and highways safer and more efficient.
Expanding Broadband Access
In our increasingly digital world, broadband access is a necessity, not a luxury. Whether for work, education, healthcare, or staying connected with loved ones, high-speed internet is essential. I am committed to expanding broadband access across Colorado, ensuring all communities—especially rural and underserved areas—have reliable, affordable internet access.
Investing in Green Infrastructure
Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time, but it also provides opportunities for innovation. I am a firm believer in the potential of green infrastructure to help us mitigate climate impacts and adapt to a changing world. This includes building energy-efficient buildings, investing in renewable energy infrastructure, and promoting sustainable water management systems.
Strengthening Our Water Infrastructure
Water is the lifeblood of Colorado. From supporting agriculture to providing for our daily needs, maintaining a robust and safe water infrastructure is critical. I am committed to supporting investments in our water infrastructure that ensure the quality and safety of our water supply, while also considering the needs of our environment.
