Issue Position: Environment & Quality of Life

Issue Position

It is a privilege to live in Colorado. Coloradans 50 and 100 years from now should have the same opportunities to enjoy our outdoors as we do today.

I strongly support keeping our beautiful state safe and livable for current as well as future generations. Keeping Colorado's environment clean makes economic sense too. According to the Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Colorado alone is home to about 12% of all outdoor recreation companies nationwide and outdoor recreation creates over 100,000 jobs and $10 billion in economic activity in Colorado. Our mountains, canyons, rivers and forests are known beyond as well as within Colorado as amazing places to hike, camp, hunt, fish or float, and we should keep it that way.
