Issue Position: A Healthy Economy

Issue Position

We need an economy that works for everyone so that we can grow and sustain Colorado's middle-class. Unfortunately, far too many Coloradans aren't feeling the much-touted recovery from the Great Recession. The cost of living continues to rise while wages struggle to keep up, all the while those at the very top continue to reap more and more in profits each year. It's time we enacted policies that truly benefit the middle-class and ensure that all Coloradans, not just large corporations, experience Colorado's economic prosperity.

Unlike many who run for office, Tom has lived the middle-class values and ideals he talks to voters about every day. He understands what it will take to ensure all Colorado families can purchase a home, get a good paying and secure job, pay for their children's education and save for retirement.

Tom will fight for these priorities everyday because he's not only seen them through with his family, he also knows that when we create an inclusive economy and a strong middle-class, we all do better.
