Building destinations in Aurora that make us a true Twin City to Denver — through arts, culture, and community. Invest in Arts & Cultural Infrastructure​. Protect and expand state investment in community-based arts and cultural spaces.

Arts and culture are powerful economic drivers that create jobs, attract tourism, and strengthen community identity. As a State Representative, I will fight to:

• Secure state funding for historic and community arts venues like the Aurora Fox Arts Center

• Expand access to Colorado Creative Industries and cultural infrastructure grants

• Ensure investments prioritize local hiring, youth programming, and community access

​
Strong arts infrastructure strengthens small businesses, supports working artists, and brings long-term economic activity into our neighborhoods.
​

As Your Legislator, I Will:

• Support legislation that enables state funding for multi-use community facilities and event spaces

• Advance public-private partnerships tied to clear community benefit standards

• Prioritize local workforce participation and small business inclusion in state-funded projects

• Ensure economic development policies promote equitable access and long-term community benefit

This approach ensures development strengthens community pride, creates jobs, and supports local economies — not just outside interests.
