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.
When every person seeking work can find a job that pays a living wage, our economy will have fully recovered.
Colorado is fortunate that our economy is doing better than most other states – our state’s unemployment rate is below 5% and Colorado is consistently rated one of the best states in which to do business by industry publications. However, the economic recovery has not reached everyone equally. I support ongoing investment in education and job training programs so that Aurorans and all Coloradans can compete aggressively for the increasing number of jobs that require advanced skills.
