On Corporations: To help the economy, government has to get out of the way

In 2015 Colorado had the 7th highest GDP growth in the US. This is good, but we can do better to provide economic opportunity for our citizens by:

Promoting our vital industries--oil and gas, tourism, agriculture, technology, telecom, defense, health care, financial services, manufacturing--by performing a thorough regulatory review to reduce burdensome and outdated regulations.
Making ourselves a leader in emerging technologies. We have the ability to bring thousands of good jobs to Colorado through active leadership by engaging our universities, businesses and entrepreneurs to build our software, internet of things, cybersecurity and bio-science industries.

On Drugs: Do better by preventing addiction & promoting natural high

Our current leaders seem to focus on whether or not drug usage is increasing. The fact is that the level of youth use is unacceptably high. We can do better for our young people and all Coloradans by:

Implementing effective treatment strategies to reduce opioid addiction.
Putting in place a cohesive regulatory structure for our medical and recreational marijuana industries, which will drive tax compliance and take untested, potentially dangerous high-potency products off the market.
Promoting natural high alternatives to our youth through the expansion of in- and after-school programs.

On Drugs: Children need to be protected from the dangers of pot

With the passage of Amendment 64 in 2012, Diane and other "moms" asked the question--who is looking out for our kids as marijuana is commercialized in our state? The answer was no one. To solve this problem, Smart Colorado was created. The group, which now has thousands of members, is dedicated to protecting kids as today's high potency marijuana is commercialized. We have played an active role in educating the public, lobbying for protections and engaging on a very difficult issue.

On Technology: Infrastructure via government efficiency & private solutions

Our roads are aging and must be improved and expanded. The same is true of our water system and housing. We can address these issues without raising taxes by:

Prioritizing and improving government efficiency in order to free the money needed for infrastructure investment.
Expanding public/private transportation solutions.
Implementing a reasonable construction defect law, one that will incentivize builders to build while protecting against severe abuses.
