Eileen ON THE ISSUES

I’ve been visiting with people across Colorado’s 4th District, listening to what matters most. Making sure your voices guide this race is my top priority and the most important part of this campaign.

One thing is already clear: none of the progress we need is possible without serious change. Too many in Washington put self-promotion ahead of service, and it’s holding our communities back. I’m running to change that.

My Commitment to Reform

We can’t solve Colorado’s challenges until we fix what’s broken in Washington. That means real change, not just slogans. For me, service isn’t about titles or politics. It’s about stepping up when your community and country need you most. It means listening first, putting people ahead of partisanship, and working side by side to get things done. That’s the spirit of service I carried in uniform, and it’s the same spirit I’ll bring to Congress.

  • Enact term limits: End career politicians’ stranglehold on Congress by demanding common-sense term limits.

  • Ban members of Congress from trading stocks - no one should profit off insider information while writing the laws.

  • Crack down on lobbyist influence so politicians answer to voters, not special interests.

  • End dark money and limit corporate funds in campaigns by requiring full transparency of political spending.

  • Balance the budget responsibly -  no more reckless spending sprees or manufactured debt crises that threaten Social Security and Medicare.

  • Protect voting rights and fair elections so the voice of every Coloradan counts.

  • Focus on common sense solutions, rather than attention grabbing politics.

What I’ll Fight For

There are priorities I know matter deeply to families across Colorado. In Congress, I will fight to ensure they are addressed and solved:

    • Crack down on price gouging 

    • Cut prescription drug prices 

    • Hold utility companies accountable for sky-rocketing prices

    • Provide tax relief for working people

    • Drive down inflation with common-sense policies

    • Keep rural hospitals open 

    • Expand telehealth 

    • Protect women’s access to abortion, IVF, and birth control 

    • Ensure every Coloradan can receive care without going broke

    • Expand VA partnerships, mobile clinics, and broadband-supported telehealth

    • Ensure full access to care for those impacted by burn pits and toxic exposures

    • Cut red tape so veterans aren’t left waiting for support they earned

    • Expand job training and certification programs for veterans, their spouses, and separating servicemembers 

    • Expand access to childcare, mental health services, and spousal employment opportunities

    • Equip first responders, firefighters, EMTs, and law enforcement with the training, technology, and resources to respond quickly and effectively

    • Invest in updated gear, cancer prevention measures, and mental health resources

    • Invest in disaster preparedness, wildfire prevention, and community policing that keeps neighborhoods safe and connected

    • Keep foreign entities out of Colorado water and farmland ownership

    • Support family farms, ranches and small businesses

    • Strengthen rural economies for the next generation

    • Invest in local businesses that create good-paying jobs

    • Make sure rural communities share in the jobs and benefits

    • Power America’s future with energy produced right here in Colorado with an all-of-the-above approach that includes clean, traditional, and alternative sources

    • Continue our state’s leadership in next-gen manufacturing
