Editor:
I am an Independent woman running to represent the people of Colorado’s third congressional district. I have owned a small business for seven years, and have seen an increasingly difficult economy to operate in. After earning two undergraduate degrees and masters degree in business, I believed that I should be able to work hard and earn a living – and I was wrong. The economy is in shambles, some of that stems from a corrupt and inefficient federal government.
Many policies of the federal government could be created at a State and local level, where there is more transparency and accountability to the people. We should keep some decisions closer to home, closer to the people who have to live with these decisions, policies, and laws.
The federal government is charged with protecting the American people, and this starts with a sound currency. We must focus on monetary policy and an overhaul of our tax code and fiscal policy. The amount of corruption in Washington, D.C. can be stopped – I want to be a part of stopping it. I want to earn your vote and represent the 3rd District. I am here for you, please reach out.
