LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Here is the complete list of all legislation in the Colorado legislature for which I have been a prime sponsor through 2017. To help identify the main focus of each measure I have assigned five general topics that pertained to many of the bills: lower government costs, limited government, lower taxes, more freedom for the individual citizen, and family/pro-life issues. For more specifics on each bill, please refer to the Colorado General Assembly website, (www.leg.state.co.us).
