Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
MY goal is to help Coloradans get and maintain quality of life, through supportive legislation for whatever stage of life you find yourself.
The mission is to reform the tax code to help create work and volunteer incentives, acknowledge the high cost of healthcare, deal with wildfire challenges, make compensation more fair, and provide funding to ensure women have access to necessary reproductive healthcare.

Joanne believes it is time for her generation to reignite the idealism of their youth and band together with the upcoming generations to right the ship for a healthier tomorrow. She has always felt it would be dynamite linking the enthusiasm and energy of youth with the experience and wisdom of the elders. That time is now!
