Our legislative priorities over the next four years will focus on three key areas: eliminating the Black wealth gap, decreasing prison recidivism, and ending youth violence. These goals are both ambitious and achievable, as proven by our office’s efforts during this past session. As you all know, we have passed a number of bills in these areas – developing and bolstering multiple programs within the CO Dept. of Corrections, improving transitions for Colorado’s high school students, creating a $30 million business startup loan fund, and more.
