About this user

I was born and raised in Colorado, the sixth of 12 children who grew up on a farm in eastern Arapahoe County. I went to work at age 14, and I worked my way through college and law school as a union pipe layer. I know the value of getting your hands dirty, of dedication to family and of giving back to the community.

Right after law school, I joined the Denver District Attorney's Office as a young prosecutor. As Denver's top law enforcer for 12 years, I made a career out of fighting crime, protecting the vulnerable, advocating for victims and running an office with innovative, inspirational and responsible leadership.

I know what it means to help people. My wife, Jeannie, and I spent three years as volunteers in Africa, running a food distribution and nutrition center in one of the world's most impoverished provinces. The experience gave me great hope for how I can improve the lives of Coloradans.

To fulfill Colorado's promise, we need responsible leadership, not ideological rhetoric. We need efficient and effective government, not big government. We need common-sense Colorado solutions, not reckless Washington-style Band-Aids.

We need to provide a quality education for our young children and an affordable college education for our older children. We need to make sure that all residents have access to quality, affordable health care. We need to grow our economy, create jobs and provide a minimum wage that truly is a livable wage. We need to protect our public lands, and we need to establish energy independence from foreign oil's dangerous grip. We need a fiscally responsible government that makes sound investments and values each and every taxpayer dollar. We need leadership that embraces differing viewpoints, but holds everyone accountable and doesn't establish different rules for different people.
