First, we must defeat 60, 61 and 101 on this year’s ballot. They will kill jobs and hurt Colorado. Second, we should look at tax loopholes for more revenue. Third, we need to have an honest conversation with Coloradans about what kind of state we want, because the only way to raise revenue is through a public vote.

From Page A0 rules, reports and restraints impacting school-site personnel, in an effort to reduce costs while increasing freedom to make local decisions that will best benefit the education of students. What’s the best way to pay for the state’s transportation needs? With the decline in gas tax revenue, downward revisions for FASTER revenue, and the end of federal stimulus funds, CDOT must continue to innovate and optimize the efficiency of its transportation networks and minimize the impact of continued deterioration. I support devolving state highways, where appropriate, to local control, in a way that avoids unfunded mandates. In these cases, the local community would better recognize the needs and solutions for a specific highway. When state transportation needs take precedence over other state priorities I would also support enhancement of the Highway Users Tax Fund from the general fund. Why should you be elected to this office? My real-world experiences provide a sound foundation for taking on the challenges facing Colorado. After graduating from West Point, serving overseas as an Army officer and completing a successful 28year private sector career, I am once again in a position to serve. I’ve been balancing the conflicting demands of budget limitations and increasing customer expectations. I’ve been solving problems in the high-tech semiconductor and data storage industries where I gained a clear understanding that vigorous healthy competition, relatively free from governmental interference, is what drives down costs while providing higher quality products and services.

schooling, private schools. These and more need to be supported to help relieve the state from the educational burden. What’s the best way to pay for the state’s transportation needs? Get private sector to foot the bill as much as possible with the idea of people paying tolls and fees on an as-you-use-it basis. Why should you be elected to this office? Because if you continue to vote the same kind of R’s and D’s into office as you have been and expect them to do something different, then you should look up the definition of insanity. My Democratic opponent had opportunities when he was in office before to make things better ... and he and his kind have almost bankrupted this state with social welfare programs. My Republican opponent, while a good man, has zero political experience and will end up being just another Republican tool to rubber stamp the party line. If you really want to make a change, vote for an experienced and capable Libertarian.

What steps would you take to bolster K-12 and higher education in this state? Education is the promise we make to the future generation. It’s what has moved us ahead as a nation. We may be the first generation of adults to not fulfill that promise. I won’t settle for that. Like many of you, I have raised and educated a child, now in college, and can see firsthand the value a good education provides. I will work for more funding, more accountability, expanded programs and genuine student achievement — not just CSAP scores. What’s the best way to pay for the state’s transportation needs? Colorado received a shot in the arm from $500 million in federal funding. But beyond that, we have a real problem meeting our transportation needs. From a district perspective, I will fight for funding FasTracks
rail to Longmont and Louisville, public transit improvements and other area road and bridge improvements. Why should you be elected to this office? Proven leadership. These are tough times that demand experience. Having served as a legislative leader, I will hit the ground running. Having pioneered energyconservation legislation, I will work to create clean-energy and other jobs. Having beaten cancer twice, the first without health insurance, I will fight for affordable health care. With my parents having been teachers and with a daughter in college, I know how critical investing in education is to Colorado’s economic future. I have the life experience, legislative know-how and persistence needed in tough times to renew Colorado and make it a better place to live and work.

hot lunches for individuals and families who are going through difficult transitions. Serve on the missions board where I attend church.

The best way to resolve the state budget crisis is to get the economy going again. Economic recovery starts with small businesses and private investment, not government spending. The Legislature must work to empower employers to create private sector jobs by lowering barriers that currently inhibit job creation. These barriers (taxes, fees, mandates, regulations, reporting, etc.) need to be lowered enough to significantly impact hiring decisions. What steps would you take to bolster K-12 and higher education in this state? This year’s quarter of a billion dollar budget gap and next year’s forecasted $1.1B budget gap will require legislators to prioritize the revenues that we have for education while working to make state government more efficient, providing more funding that could be used for education. To help K-12 and higher education leaders prioritize and economize, the Legislature needs to take a hard look at federal- and stateimposed mandates, programs,
