Colorado Governor / Lieutenant Governor (2022)
I am voting for Jared Polis / Dianne Primavera. In general, I think the Polis administration and legislature has some great accomplishments and has focused on many of the right issues for Colorado.
I am voting for Jared Polis / Dianne Primavera. The accomplishments include funding transportation in the state, reforming policing, passing the reproductive health equity act, universal preschool, and helping Colorado families and businesses through the pandemic. There are likely many more accomplishments I could list.
Polis’ Republican opponent simply has policy priorities that I don’t agree with, and in my opinion an incoherent campaign not worthy of consideration.
I’ll take the opportunity to say that in a second term, and hopefully with support of the legislature, I’d like to see even more progress on key issues for the state. The top on my list are more funding for housing and statewide zoning reforms, improving decarbonizing and improve public transportation, strengthen and codify abortion protections, further protections for LGBTQ rights and overturning Colorado’s constitutional ban on gay marriage.
