To be very clear, the tone at the state Capitol has dramatically changed compared to my prior two years representing Colorado Senate District 4. I believe the message from the new majority in the state Legislature is no longer about making decisions that reflect the beliefs from voters from across the state, but instead it has become a movement to make Colorado a powerful, progressive stronghold. Having previously served in a split Legislature, I just don’t think that this is what Colorado is about.
Q&A with state Sen. Jim Smallwood
With Democrat majorities in the House, Senate and with control of the governor's office, I feel that we've seen a turn toward a top-down approach of governance, where politicians feel that their intellect and perspective surpass those who have sent us here. I strongly object and hope to see a course correction sooner rather than later.
