What do you like most about living here?: The fact that Highlands Ranch is centered on community and a strong sense of family. Highlands Ranch is in the middle of everything, whether it's heading out for a hike, taking in a movie or going downtown for a Rockies game.

People who inspired you (and how): My Mom and Dad. They raised six kids while running a small business and devoting love, time and energy to each of us.
How you have contributed to the community: My favorite opportunity serving in the state House has been meeting with Highlands Ranch students at the Capitol, and in their classrooms here in Highlands Ranch. I view each of these meetings as an opportunity to share with them the importance of public service and how critical it is to be an active citizen. After meeting with these students, it's clear to me that our nation's future is in good hands.
What are the biggest issues facing your constituency now: No doubt about it, the economy and reckless government spending. The people of Highlands Ranch are clearly concerned about the direction our economy is heading and have had enough with reckless government spending that threatens to increase the already heavy tax burden on families and small businesses. Keeping taxes low and limiting government have always been important to those of us in HD 43.
Other issues that are critical are maintaining a first-class school system that allows parents to determine where best their students learn, finding ways to improve funding for our roads and bridges, and ensuring that college remains affordable for Colorado families
