Positions
Economy & Taxes
Advocates eliminating the Colorado state income tax, increasing TABOR refunds, and pursuing limited-government policies that reduce taxation and bureaucracy. Campaign materials state a platform of major tax reduction paired with proposals to cut administrative costs to offset spending priorities like teacher pay increases.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes an energy-focused platform promoting nuclear and other energy development and has previously expressed skepticism about human-driven global warming while favoring energy projects like hydroelectric dams. The campaign materials prioritize increased energy production and limited government, consistent with a market-driven, pro-energy stance rather than aggressive emissions regulation or Green New Deal–style policies.
