My name is Mike Weissman and I’m a resident of Aurora. I was elected to represent House District 36 in November, 2016 and re-elected in November, 2018 and 2020 and am currently serving my 3rd term as our state representative. It has been a great honor to go to work for the people of our district these past several years.I am proud to call Aurora my home because as Colorado’s most diverse city, Aurora reflects America as a whole. And I love living in Colorado because our state’s combination of outdoor beauty and cultural vibrancy is unmatched by any other. Like many Coloradans, I love spending time outside: working in the garden, running, hiking a new trail or mountain, or riding a bike along Arapahoe County’s trails and paths.
Government functions should be transparent and the campaigns and elections and that determine who our elected officials are should be too. There is too much money in politics and too much of that money is hard-to-follow “mystery money”. Voting should be as easy as possible for all eligible voters because elections are how we settle the hard policy questions in our society. And when people try to commit fraud on government services or contracts, thereby ripping off taxpayers, there should be consequences.
