Democratic 2022 Colorado House of Representative

Andrew Boesenecker

I was born in Holland, MI, I grew up just a stone’s throw away from the shores of Lake Michigan. I was raised in a family that included public school employees, teachers, veterans and law enforcement officers. I am also proud of a family heritage that includes generations of farmers – people who know the importance of growing healthy food for their neighbors and community.I spent my childhood and teenage years sailing on Lake Michigan, exploring parks and forests, and riding my bike anywhere it would take me. One of those kids who couldn’t stop beating on pots and pans, I received my Bachelor of Music in Percussion Performance from Western Michigan University in 2001. I love playing drums and the marimba (and also the pots and pans) with my three children to this day.

COVID-19 Recovery

COVID-19 recovery and resiliency remains a priority for Colorado.

We must listen to the experts and continue to enact a science-driven approach in regard to public policy. The state legislature has been busy prioritizing and allocating one-time relief dollars in order to make transformational change in the areas of economic recovery, affordable housing, and mental and behavioral health. Since being elected I have prioritized COVID-19 relief for individuals, families, and small businesses that have been negatively and/or disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. This includes allocating any additional federal dollars to support housing assistance, affordable child care, behavioral health, paycheck protection programs for nonprofits and small businesses, food assistance, and utility bill payment assistance.

Small businesses will be critical in our recovery efforts – they are the economic backbone of our community. Small businesses bring innovation, growth, and employment opportunities to our community. Their success will be critical both to our recovery efforts, and as we build economic resiliency in the years to come. I will work to ensure small businesses and family-owned businesses in our community are supported by any state or federal relief dollars allocated to Colorado.
