Ken has been busy meeting with voters since the beginning of March. Walking in Eagle, Routt, Garfield and Moffat, Ken has been canvassing several hours each day handing out literature and most importantly talking and listening to voters in Senate District 8.
He finds the majority of people he meets in agreement with him on the important issues he emphasizes:
1. Working to protect our limited water supply for our towns, ranching and farming, recreation, and our economy.
2. Working to support ranching and farming, recreation uses and conservation of wildlife habitat. This is the foundation of our economy - past, present and future. The energy industry must pay its fair share of taxes, limit direct impacts on our communities, protect public health and the environment, and become a partner in Colorado's New Energy Economy.
3. Working to help Colorado improve its commitment to our kids. They deserve full day kindergarten, preschool, small classroom sizes, well-paid teachers, and vocational options. We can provide innovative education to make sure they have the skills needed to get jobs in our changing economy.
4. Working together to create quality, affordable and efficient health care for everyone in Colorado.
5. Working to develop Colorado as a global leader in renewable energy - helping to lower gas prices, create new jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Meeting and listening to the people he will serve is giving him the understanding necessary to make the changes that will benefit North Western Colorado.
