Government spending:

As newlyweds, my wife and I lived month to month in a one-bedroom apartment with a monthly food budget of $100. This taught us about the importance of living within our means. Unfortunately, politicians on both sides have forgotten what it’s like for the government to live on a budget. Our country is spending money we don’t have, leading to inflation and the always-growing national debt. Reducing, and eventually eliminating, the budget deficit is critical to long term prosperity. We can achieve that by reducing spending on frivolous government projects, such as so-called Green New Deal initiatives and DEI programs.

Inflation and cost of living:

Whether it’s gas, groceries, or utilities, there’s no doubt everything is more expensive than it used to be. As a husband and father of two growing boys, tackling this problem is a top priority of mine in Congress. Lowering prices for a more realistic cost of living won’t happen overnight, but with the right economic policies, we will be able to see inflation come down, putting money back in the bank accounts of Colorado families.

Housing crisis:

As a millennial, something top of mind for my family and other folks in my generation is the difficulty of buying a home. Currently, national inflation and the high cost of living in Colorado makes it difficult for families to make ends meet, let alone afford to buy a home. I am working to make homeownership an attainable dream for every Coloradan by reducing regulations that inhibit affordable housing. Two of the biggest barriers are excessive construction defect liability and expensive building codes based on climate alarmism. I worked to solve these issues in the state legislature, and I aim to continue to do that in Congress.
