Education
Colorado is one of the most educated states in the union, ranking in the top 5 in both the percentage of adults with a post-secondary degree and the quality of our universities and colleges. Sadly, our K-12 public education system performs much closer to the national average- and we aren’t average.source

COMMITMENT 3: PROTECT COLORADO AGRICULTURE — NO FORCED FALLOWING
Colorado agriculture is not the cause of the Colorado River crisis. The cause is a century of Compact over-allocation, Lower Basin overuse, and a warming climate that has shrunk the river. I will not use Colorado farmers as the bill-payer for problems they did not create.source
