2022 CO Governor's race: on Families & Children


Greg Lopez: Sex Ed Bill is a direct attack on parental rights

The Sex Ed Bill is nothing less than a direct attack on parental rights. It is the parent's right, not the government's, to make decisions regarding their children's education. It is the parent's right, not the government's, to raise their children with the values they believe are in their children's best interest.

Heidi Ganahl: Address mental health crisis/suicide rates among children

On day one I will get to work addressing the mental health crisis and rising suicide rates here in Colorado among our children. It's all hands-on deck. We need parents, therapists, educators, non-profits, and others to build a robust early warning system that works to put our kids back on track and get them the support they need to keep them safe.
