Issue Position: A Clean, Beautiful, And Sustainable Colorado

Issue Position

Colorado's great outdoors and public lands are a large part of what makes us Coloradans. Whether you're the avid outdoors person, the family who packs up the car for the weekend with the kids, or the person who enjoys a quick outing, we can all appreciate what Colorado has to offer in terms of open space and recreation.

Colorado's environment also offers us a tremendous opportunity to combat the effects of climate change, all the while creating good jobs that support local economies, particularly in rural areas of our state.

Unfortunately, our state's public lands are under attack and there are those at the Capitol who deny the reality of climate change and both the consequences and opportunities that come with it. We are also as a state approaching a critical juncture with regard to our state's water sources.

As your state representative, Tom will fight for the preservation of our community's open spaces and state parks, to mitigate the effects of climate change, and to invest in Colorado's renewables sector so we can create good local jobs. He will also work with his colleagues, particularly those from rural districts, to ensure our state's water supply is utilized efficiently and fairly across all of Colorado's communities.
