• Creation of an Office of Racial Equity to make sure that racial equity was considered in the way that all county departments deliver services.
• Doing extensive community outreach so that the $62.3 million in federal COVID relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act addressed the deep impacts of the COVID19 pandemic and so that this unprecedented local investment of federal funds addressed the structural systems that caused communities of color and low-income residents to suffer disproportionately.
• Securing voter approval to continue a transportation sales tax that invests in safety and multi-modal transportation options, along with new sales taxes for affordable housing, wildfire mitigation and emergency response and rescue.
• Enacting common sense gun violence prevention ordinances that require a 10-day waiting period to purchase a firearm, raise the age to purchase a firearm, prohibit carrying a firearm in sensitive places, prohibit sale of assault weapons, and prohibit the sale of “ghost guns” that cannot be traced to an owner.
• Fulfilling my campaign commitment to hold monthly in-person townhall meetings in different communities in Boulder County and reviving monthly in-person and virtual public comment opportunities at the downtown courthouse.
• Enacting a minimum wage for unincorporated Boulder County to address the gap between income and the cost of living. I will be working in 2024 with Boulder County municipalities to create a consistent county-wide minimum wage that allows all county residents to live with dignity.
• Ending mining at the Dowe Flats Quarry that serves the Cemex cement plant east of Lyons.
• Holding the line on new oil and gas drilling in Boulder County and supporting legislation to prevent exploitation of mineral rights purchased with open space funds.

As a Boulder County Commissioner, I will work tirelessly so that all sectors of our economy thrive and all of Boulder County’s residents feel valued and included in their community.
