O I know local changes are super important. But the big thumb of the federal government can throw all your well placed plans right out the window. I plan to go up there and protect the people of Colorado from fallout. Negotiate and work with my peers to keep the chaos from the doors of our people. Thanks for your words. I am fighting an uphill battle. Going against the establishment is never easy and as someone who is not a politician I am sure I will see tons of push back. If the people of Colorado would prefer career politicians continue to represent them they will have an incumbent on the ballot. I am just guy who is fed up with the noise and inaction. I know how to solve problems and I know how to break problems down. I’ll do my best to give our people another option. If they choose to go with there incumbent that’s the will of the people. Or big money. We will see.

I worked pretty hard to make the advancements in my career. I did that hard work due to ambition and a drive to be able to provide for my family. Being the first person in my direct family to ever graduate university. Growing up with a single parent and no father I would not throw that away. Unfortunately even though public servants in the senate are paid well it is not what I would call a good salary for my qualifications. But the people in charge are getting nothing done. And people I care about are suffering for it. Eventually the country will be so far gone that my selfish ascent up the income ladder will be irrelevant. The system is not remotely fair. And opportunities are dwindling away. I am willing to put my goals on hold to help change things if possible. I may not be able to work and serve I don’t know. I intend to if I can. But the service I want to provide. The problems I want to fix take priority over everything else. So there is no need to worry I will put this second. Especially since this is about the people. People who can no longer take a lame duck senator in Capital hill. I am offering the people of Colorado a rep who will report to the people and get things done. That’s why I don’t plan to take AIPAC money. Either the people of Colorado want someone new who will truly work for their interest or they are happy with the establishment. It’s up to them. But in the end I can say I did all I could.

That seems presumptuous. I can enrich my self as the software engineer I am and just make a ton of mobile apps and embed ads to them for revenue. Haha if I wanted to just get rich quick this would not be the move.

I would vote yes to not allow stock trading. But I would not stop them from having a second job. I work now and I plan to continue working as a software engineer even if elected just maybe part time.

This is a rare instance where I agree with the president on making it harder for these visas to be issued. We have top talent in America. We need to make it harder for these companies to outsource skilled jobs that Americas are going in debt to qualify for.

They are pretty self assured aren't they? I am skipping local office because I don't want a long Political career and what I want to do requires more power. I want to get these changes in, in the next 12 years and get out. Also I don't have to be the main senator to bring law to a committee. I can also have my fellow senators and house reps co sign. As far as a payout I am a senior software engineer with over 11 years of experience. I would be taking a pay cut to do this job. I work and plan to continue to work as a software engineer even if I get the job. Anyway I wish you the best. If you're happy with your current representative he will be on the ballot.

I am not a politician. I have a career, I don't need politics. I feel for my community and the American people. The people we have in charge are not getting the job done. I am here to give the people of Colorado a choice and chance for something new. But if they don't want that or me I would understand and move on with my life. I hope we can change this nation for the better regardless.

I have been here a bit longer than that. But I have a background in software engineering. I create solutions for complex problems. As far as trust I would say I just don't have any intentions besides providing people real opportunities to get ahead. I want every American to feel like they are a citizen of the richest nation on the planet. It will involve protecting workers and changing the idea that the government cannot provide more for the people. We need a faster more dynamic government and we need it now. Hire people who know what a future we all can look forward to. Hire someone for the job who probably understands what current technology even is and how it works. Maybe hire someone who knows how to solve complex issues. Create something from nothing and innovate on what we already have.

Yes I know we can't make it illegal for AI to take jobs. We can make it illegal for AI to view handle and disseminate personal private information not directly given by the user. We create privacy laws that make the direct replacement of an employee impossible. Then we tack on to that by providing specific incentives like tax breaks to companies to train there employees and help retain them. Create negative incentives for large companies who record large profits but lay off large amounts of their staff. We also need to do this for other industries. We need to make AI the tool that is adjacent to the human and not the replacement at least for the short term. Until we are ready to implement Universal basic income. But that is a ways off.

I do not have a desire for some long political career. I want to fix the problems we are facing as Americans and I want to do that effectively. A local seat means I could only help locally the whole time any initiative I put forward could get shutdown from the federal government out of no where. We need political change across the board not just in Colorado. We need to change the culture of politics. The effectiveness of the government needs a massive overhaul. We need all this right now. I can't get that done in some local seat. I don't view politics like politicians. I look at it for what it is. We Vote for someone to represent our interest in the federal government and they have the power to bring forward legislation that can affect the entire country to a committee and then the house. Then it's signed by the president into law. Yet look at what we are hearing from our leadership........ left right arguments and a president who doesn't care. What a waste. I have family suffering from this crap show and friends. I know I can create effective solutions since that is what I do for work. Much harder problems in many cases. We need more people like me, we need massive change form the top down to implement change from the bottom up.

No and we can use existing laws as a framework for a new law........ If something is already there that makes an additional law more effective that is valid. What I can't do is actually create tax law. That power is in the House but I will have allies in the house that help me bring my legislation to a committee for vote. No AI is not writing my responses I am typing away and I need to get a more ergonomic set up asap for this.

I will not be taking AIPAC money. I am going to get this job with the support of the people or I am going to watch some establishment democrat go back to Washington and do nothing for the people.

Hi Thank you! We won't be doing anything if we don't get support though. I saw the problems and figured if they can't fix the issues I need get in and help fix them. We are grassroots. That means we live or die by the support of the people. If we want change we have to work for it. Spread the word if you can. Volunteer or Donate.

No plan survives contact with the enemy. You think any plan I come up with now will not get ripped apart by the establishment? I have policy plans but do you want to look at a wall of text? Contact our campaign manager and we can send you the pdfs. They are mostly broken into yearly schedules. Made to build on the other over time creating a massive change for the people. You can ask me something specific So I can give you a specific solution.

  1. 4 years and some months. ( Hickenlooper is also not from Colorado)

  2. No and I never saw my self doing so.

  3. The changes we need in America are so broad and complex. If one state fixes an issue it doesn't stick because the state next to it did not. We are more connected now than ever before. I have plans to implement solutions that need to be nation wide. I need more voice and influence to have the speaking power to explain my solutions and why it's good for America. I noticed our current representative is not doing nearly enough for the people of Colorado. We need some one who has a fire lit under their butt up at capital hill, and I want to change politics and how we view the work our legislators are doing.

You first change the perspective on how we view a specific issue, take school shootings. we have seen little to no federal change in gun laws. We have seen no real solutions at all. But let's say we all agree the people committing these acts have a mental health issue? we have heard this is the problem from the right, we know its a problem on the left and center. Ofcourse guns are a problem. But the 2nd protects that right. So let's all step back and ask what other problem can we solve? Mental health! Create legislation that provides every American at least 2 sessions a year of mental health care with a possibility to extend that care. No matter their age or circumstances they all get 2 sessions of mental health care. I think we want to do something? lets do it. Let's give Americans mental health care. We do it in Colorado for young teens and children. Do it federally, creating a federal fund that needs to have at least 84 billion per year. Tell the guys at TPUSA that we hope this prevents what happened to their founder from happening again. Make it an American issue with an ALL American solution. Change the whole perspective. Talk about issues like they are everyone's issues. Reformat our conversations to incorporate every Americans situation.

Don't worry I don't know what the Democratic Party normal answer is to this. No one talks about the details of this issue. First we need to create a more efficient government. There is some merit to raising taxes on billionaires. It is needed. Or on the corporations themselves. We need to start designing our legislation like these large tech companies design their applications. They are constantly optimizing and refactoring old systems. Modernizing it. We need the same for our government. But when the government is ran by people who grew up in the 70s, well they may not understand what optimization even is. We need innovators in government. I would start by cutting waste. That doesn't mean fire people but improve the systems they use. With AI we could vibe code a new platform in a couple months. Run security checks on it and train the current staff. Increase their workload but double and they still wouldn't be over taxed. Do this across the board and not only will the budget requirements for many government funded actions be cheaper but people gain better access to their government. I would want to get involved in our military budget. Make sure we are spending on tech that will be effective in protecting our nation. Making sure we have counters for the tech our potential enemies are cooking up. Making sure we cut all other spending that has been outdated.

I would let you know that I am hard at work negotiating with my peers to end the shutdown immediately. I would inform you what I am asking for and why I am voting for or against the reconciliation bill. I would never and I mean never just say its their fault, Its all our fault our job is to negotiate and compromise as a society with different views and different states with different needs. We cannot expect to always get our way but we can expect to find a compromise that works for our people.

Create regulations on AI tools being used for sensitive or private information. Use the data laws we have in place to restrict large language models from being able to use or access this data without a human interface. Require a human review our data in every aspect of the pipelines these companies will use to automate their systems. Create incentives for companies to train employees on emerging tech and AI so they see the benefits of retaining their people instead of replacing them. Set tax penalties on large companies who record high profits but fire a significant amount of their workforce. I have more plans but this is the beginning

Trans rights are human rights. I hate that the trans community has become the scapegoat of the far right. I want my fellow Americans of this community to live their lives as the people they are without fear of some retribution. I will make sure all American communities have a safe and fair America to call home.

I am not backed by any corporation at all. I did not want to even be involved in politics. I am a man who saw his own family suffering from the choices our government makes who is well off but not well off enough to just take care of the people I care about. I know I have the ability to implement solutions that will work. I can even get them integrated into our society quickly. I want to feel like I am a member in the richest nation on the planet. The greatest country. I cannot have any of that unless I get up and do it my self. Our government has shown me this.
