🟥 Fairness and Safety

Women’s sports were created to ensure fair competition based on biological differences in strength, speed, and physical development. Across multiple athletic governing bodies, including international and collegiate organizations, data consistently show that male athletes retain physical advantages even after hormonal treatment. Policies that allow biological males to compete in female divisions raise concerns about fairness, safety, and equal opportunity for girls and women. Protecting female athletics and private spaces like locker rooms ensures that opportunities earned over decades are not eroded and that young women can compete on a level playing field.

🟨 Citizen Safety & Immigration Enforcement

Public safety is one of the most fundamental responsibilities of government. Colorado has seen increases in certain categories of crime in recent years, putting pressure on law enforcement and communities alike. Enforcing existing immigration laws is part of maintaining an orderly and lawful system, as federal law already defines legal entry and residency requirements. When laws are not enforced consistently, it creates gaps that can be exploited and undermines public confidence in government. Supporting law enforcement, holding repeat offenders accountable, and supporting laws that combat Colorado’s crime rate laws  are key steps toward safer communities.

🟦 Parents’ Rights

Parents have long been recognized in U.S. law as the primary decision-makers in their children’s upbringing, education, and well-being. The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed this principle in multiple cases, emphasizing that families—not government institutions—hold this responsibility. In recent years, debates over curriculum transparency, parental notification policies, and the role of schools in social issues have increased. Ensuring that parents have access to information, a voice in educational decisions, and the ability to guide their children’s development helps maintain trust between families and schools while keeping education focused on academic success.
