For far too many, it is too expensive to live in this district and across this metro area. I've been to forums, community meetings, seminars, and have been getting to the bottom of this issue. Half of the families in Arapahoe County can't afford rent and a quality level of life. We need to listen and take note of the needs of municipal leaders who are working on the front lines of creating more affordable housing units. We need them to know we have a representative who will take their needs to the Capitol.
