Dave is a native Coloradan who never thought that he would run for public office. He started his career as an educator, teaching math, science, and technology at Heath Junior High in Greeley for 24 years. He then went on to teach at CU Denver for another decade, and worked in the private tech sector for about 4 years.
As a State Representative, I championed gun safety by voting to limit the size of magazines and improve background checks. I worked to improve the services seniors and people with disabilities receive. I fought for access to in-state tuition and drivers licenses for immigrants. I opposed attempts to restrict women’s reproductive rights and worked to improve workplace safety and pay equity. I fought for the LGBTQ community, restrictions on oil and gas, increased renewable energy, education funding and universal healthcare. As your next Treasurer, I’ll continue to fight for our progressive values.
