Legislation

I have sponsored eight House Bills and been the House sponsor of three Senate Bills this session.

The Colorado Legislature's website gives you a wealth of information about those bills including their current status.

Column: "Life in the Legislature"

I also write a weekly column titled "Life in the Legislature" for the Durango Herald. If you don't catch it in the paper you can find a link to it here.
