Public SafetyGovernment’s first responsibility is to ensure public safety; to prevent and protect us from crime, to prepare for natural disasters, to ensure homeland security, and to ensure fair, humane, and strict enforcement of our immigration laws.
Economic SecurityIndividuals, families, and businesses are stretched by escalating health care costs, rising gas and energy prices, and uncertainly in maintaining a good quality of life throughout their careers and into retirement; Colorado must retain its position as a low tax state while also working to ensure a positive business climate, gain control over health care costs, invest in new energy technologies, and invest in critical public infrastructure such as roads, schools, and higher education. Government must be effective, transparent, efficient, and accountable.
Preserving and Enhancing our Quality of LifeWe must work to ensure future generations inherit a beautiful state – a state with clean land, clean air, and clean water. We must maintain, preserve, and expand, our network of parks, trails, and open space. We should make Colorado a leader in environmental preservation and alternative energy technologies. This is good for our environment, our economy, and our quality of life.
