Hi, I’m Dave.
I’m a lifelong educator, union leader, and public servant – and I’m running for Congress to be a champion for the families and communities too often left behind.
Unfortunately, our current Representative has aligned himself with far right MAGA policies, including cutting Medicaid, backing tariffs that will add to the already crushing cost of living for working families, and giving the wealthy a massive tax cut.
I’ve heard countless stories from the residents throughout the state who are worried about their economic future – and rightfully so.
I’ve spent the past year listening to thousands of residents who feel like Washington just isn’t delivering for them. It’s time for that to change. Government should work for the people – and when it doesn’t, it needs to get out of the way.
I’ve spent most of my life in rural Colorado, and I know firsthand the challenges that working families face. I believe in smart, effective policies – like expanding the Child Tax Credit, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and making sure every family has a fair shot at opportunity. At the same time, I understand that progress doesn’t always mean more red tape. Sometimes, the best thing the government can do is support growth by staying out of the way.
This isn’t just polity to me – this is personal. My sister has severe developmental problems, and Medicaid has been a huge source of support for her as she has struggled. Gabe Evans voted to cut people like my sister off this critical program. That’s unacceptable, and I’m running to hold him accountable for abandoning the working families in CD8.
I’ve won elections at both the local and statewide level, and I know the people of this district because I’ve walked alongside them. I have a track record of winning more votes than any other Democrat in this part of Colorado because I’m in touch with the people, and their everyday concerns. I’ve knocked on thousands of doors, hosted dozens of town halls, and built deep relationships across this community. We deserve a representative who doesn’t just talk about our Colorado values – but lives them. I’m ready to be that voice in Washington.
A Voice we Need in Congress
Dave has a proven track record and will work to to rebuild our economy, improve our healthcare, defend our climate, and support our education needs in Washington.
