JILLAIRE ON THE ISSUES
Civility & Civic Engagement
Since 2017 I've been engaging in tough conversations surrounding the controversial topics facing our nation with community members who don't always see eye to eye. By leading out with civility and respect, I've opened pathways to communication that invite productive conversation and positive action.
Access to Health Care
Access to good quality health care and the privacy to make one's own health care decisions are critical matters for our next state representative. I strongly support policies which promote access to reproductive care, enhanced healthcare coverage, and investment in increasing the number of healthcare providers.
Prioritizing Education
Public money belongs in public schools. Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley schools are among the best funded in the state, but given the risk to funding with each budget cycle, we need to seek more stable solutions. Funding education requires a variety of solutions and ongoing dialogue with everyone affected.
Accessible Communities:
Affordable Housing and Public Transportation
The high cost of living plays a significant role in reducing the opportunities Colorado families have to thrive and build communities, including in our district. We must actively promote pathways to home ownership, protect the rights of renters, increase access to public transportation, and bring down costs through creative policymaking.
Gun Violence Prevention
We need common sense solutions to prevent gun violence. This is an issue that I really care about. I have four children who grew up in the post-Columbine world experiencing active shooter drills. I was in a kindergarten classroom many years ago during one of those drills. It was scary for me, and it’s scary for our kids. All of these reforms can be accomplished without infringing on the second amendment rights of the many law-abiding gun owners in HD19.
Showing Up
Our district spans both Boulder and Weld County, with citizens of many viewpoints and backgrounds. We need to actively engage every community to ensure we can find productive solutions to difficult issues. I will actively show up, build relationships, and be an accessible legislator to EVERY resident.
