MEET MIKE

It has been the honor of my life to serve Aurora as a State Representative and to be elected by our community as State Senator for District 28. As I have for years I will keep fighting for economic and housing justice; to reduce air, water and climate change pollution; and for stronger consumer protection laws to keep people from getting ripped off. In a time of great uncertainty about our federal government, I am committed to keeping Colorado a safe place to live, work and raise a family.

MY PRIORITIES

Opportunity is a policy choice.

It’s a result of choices that our government makes. We need laws that invest in people, not special interests and corporate money. As your State Senator, I will continue fighting for:

✔ Housing
✔ Cost of Living
✔ Consumer Protection
✔ Individual Rights
✔ Criminal Justice
✔ Environmental Protection

✔ Good Government
✔ Education
✔ Veterans
✔ Health Care
✔ Gun Violence Prevention
✔ Transportation
