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.
Colorado is a popular place to live. Around 100,000 people have been moving to our state every year for the last 10 years, but our roads have not been keeping up. More and more of us are spending more time in traffic and less time with our families as a result. Transportation is also a large source of climate pollution emissions, and we have to make it easier for Coloradans to get around in “greener” ways too.
