Honk for Cronk!
Truly, I'm very excited for your candidacy.
Thanks for the legislator rankings on women and children's issues. Would you post a link to the rankings? I'm sure some former Senators would be rather high on that rank, and their current replacements pretty low.
Double WOOT!!! I'm in your district!!!!
I'm with Mama Jama in wanting to get a link to see what the rankings are; and the votes that were tabulated to create the rankings. Personally, I often take a dim view of these vote rankings since they can be easily manipulated to obtain desired results. And I say that while realizing that, over the years, I was a strong supporter of Colorado Conservation Voters and their rankings.
I visited the web sites of the two Republican candidates in District 37. Mr. Tate doesn't say much about where he stands on the issues. I did note he is a supporter of the 1st Amendment, along with the 2nd, which may be a good sign.
I wouldn't call Mr. Fields a candidate "who identifies on the extreme far right" unless I was so far to the left that anything right-of-center looks extreme. Some of his positions appear reasonable. But Mr. Fields seems a "bit confused" about the US Constitution. He supports the 2nd amendment, but then says he is "pro-life" (quotes are mine). When I hear someone calling themselves pro-life, that often tells me they may not be a supporter of the 1st Amendment's prohibition on establishment of religion.

CHB, your points are well-taken. Both men are members of my community and I am careful not to disparage them as people. Their policies are decidedly far right, in my opinion — Mr. Fields on social issues, and Mr. Tate on fiscal issues. I especially applaud Mr. Fields for getting into politics at such a young age. As my friends here know, I've done a lot of mentoring of young people over the last two decades, and have encouraged many of them to run for office. I think what he is doing is terrific.
It is my assertion the residents of Centennial, and the surrounding neighborhoods in unincorporated Arapahoe County, are fiscally moderate (they are willing to pay for high-quality public safety and public schools, for example) and socially reasonable. I've been a member of the community for 23 years as a person of faith and mostly stay at home mom raising kids, married to my college sweetheart. Despite my strong publicly-stated opinions on women's reproductive freedoms, marriage equality, and caring about the environment we live in, when I knock on doors in the area, I find the vast majority of voters I talk to are very similar to me and my family in ideology. We strongly support Cherry Creek schools and the teachers who work for them, we are willing to pay just enough (but not more) in taxes for world-class services for the Fire District and other services, and we want our kids to have top-notch sports fields and recreational opportunities to help them develop their full potentials.
Party affiliation out in the suburbs dissipates when you talk to people about issues that are important to their families — our families. We all want the same great opportunties for our kids.
