Vote Mike Weissman - Democrat For State Senate
Economic Opportunity for Working Families
The grandson of immigrants, Mike values the hard work it takes to get ahead. That’s why he’s supported Colorado families by cracking down on predatory corporations, strengthening price-gouging laws, capping interest on medical debt, and reining in high-interest lenders.
More Affordable Housing Individual Rights & Freedoms
Mike knows an affordable home is the foundation of a better life. He’s won more than $175 million to build affordable housing, increased renters’ rights, and cut income taxes for seniors and working families who rent.
Mike values Aurora’s diversity and upholds equal rights and dignity for everyone. He's strengthened enforcement of anti-discrimination and hate crime laws and will always stand up for abortion rights in the face of government overreach.
