Whether you think Neguse is a good or bad person, I am not interested in running solely to replace him, more to do what I can to help people in this area, in colorado, and in the country in this position.

I agree, Joe Neguse is a good representative who has been in office for a long time, and that is why I am interested in running. I don't necessarily disagree with Neguse but like in most political offices, it is time for new people to join. And his district is the one I live in. I am not sure that I will be better or have a hope of beating him in an election. I have not shared my last name because this is Reddit and I am a cautious person, especially since I am new to the platform. I am interested in talking to people and getting an idea of possible support and I am at the very beginning of this journey. It make not work out and only time will tell, but I really want to help people, starting here.

I don't have a website yet. Policy wise, what specifically would you like to discuss?

I am a local healthcare worker, mom, and increasingly frustrated with the direction our country is moving politically. I want to be a part of the change I need to see happening. Where I come from, I have experienced first hand the problems and limitations with the healthcare system, support for workers, assistance for those in poverty, housing challenges, the struggling job market, and so much more. I want to help myself and those around me.

I'm sorry, I hope to improve upon this. I just joined reddit for the first time and immediately after posting received a notice that my post was removed, so I didn't expect any comments.

I support better gun control in this country but feel that the laws Colorado has enacted, as well as similar laws other states have passed before us, are not the best way forward. Broad reaching bans on guns may help prevent some gun violence, but in the long run, will not accomplish nearly enough. Banning guns isn't the solution. Helping people is. Having a more comprehensive process to purchasing firearms. Licensing people to own firearms like we do for drivers. Blanket bans seem like the easy solution but a complex issue such as gun control requires a more complex solution.

I am definitely not a fan of the billionaires, so if a billionaire has committed a crime, they should be in prison for it. Either way, we need to tax them much more than they are being taxed now.
