Hello from Denver in

springtime.The 70th Colorado General Assembly is coming to a close, as well as

my rookie year as your Representative. Here is an update of

everything that went on this year.

It has been an extremely busy first year for me, and while it is such an honor

serving you all here in Denver, I am looking forward to being home with family and

closer to you all.

This year, ten of the bills that I was directly involved in have been, or are most

likely going to be signed into law by Gov. Hickenlooper. Five of those had myself

as the prime sponsor.

HB15-1102 - Expansion of the Colorado Cottage Foods Act to allow homemade

tortillas, pickles, and empanadas. Sent to the Governor for signing.

HB15-1305 - Criminalizing the use of butane in dangerous manufacture of

marijuana hash oil. Sent to the Governor for signing.

HB15-1021 - Seven day court date intervals for DMV records. Signed by the

Governor.

HB15-1304 - A study to find a way to reduce the black bear population. Sent to the

Governor for signing.

SB15-197 - Making it easier for Nurse Practitioners to obtain their license. Sent to

the Governor for signing.

Unfortunately, politics was the downfall of eight bills, five of which I was the prime

sponsor on. HB15-1157 and HB15-1177 were both economic bills that would

vitalize business in rural and urban economic distressed areas. They both were

supported on both sides of the isle, but due to politics, failed in the Senate. The

good news is, much of my work was rolled into SB15-282, "Jumpstart Colorado,"

creating tax free business opportunities in economically distressed rural and

urban areas. That bill will be voted upon this afternoon.

On social issues this sessions, I hold a perfect record on gun and 2nd amendment

rights issues. I was also had a perfect voting record when it came to freedom of

religious expression and the rights of the unborn. I also fought hard to restrict

recreational marijuana and it's varying social ills.

I rose to a leadership position in the State Affairs Committee, the Judiciary

committee, and floor debates concerning various legislation, including efforts to

curb construction defect litigation to fight against opening up schools to lawsuits for

acts of unforeseeable attack. The caucus also designated me to argue on behalf of

rights for a murdered baby in the womb.

Here are two videos of the arguments I made on the floor regarding potential

increase of the ability to sue schools.

So folks, as of tomorrow, May 6th, we will adjourn until next year. I encourage youto get in touch with me, and let me know what needs to be addressed here in HD

54 and in Colorado. I am honored to have been able to serve this session, and I

cannot wait to do some more good next year.

On the campaign trail, I promised I would focus on economic development, stand

steadfast on gun, social, and Christian concerns. I also promised that I would work

in a bipartisan fashion to get something done. To that end I have fought to form

working coalitions and reach across the isle on economic issues.

The majority of my constituents would rather I be part of a legislature that gets

something done as apposed to saying "No" and being divisive. I am happy to

report this first year was a success in these regards.

Thank you
