No matter where I go across our state, I keep hearing the same stories:

Families love Colorado but aren’t sure if they can afford to stay. 

Parents worry their kids may never be able to buy a home here. 

Young people entering the workforce struggle to find a place near their jobs. 

Seniors who spent a lifetime building their communities looking to downsize but can’t.

In many parts of Colorado, the number of hours a family must work to afford a mortgage has doubled over the past decade, even though average wages have increased by nearly 50%.

I'm running to tackle this crisis head-on – but ahead of my biggest end-of-quarter fundraising deadline yet on Sept. 30, I can't solve it as Colorado's next governor without your help, starting today.

So if you're short on time, then before I dive into my housing platform, will you please chip in toward my $30,000 end-of-quarter goal now to help me win this race and make Colorado affordable again?

Here's the rundown of what I plan to do:

🏗️ Increase state-supported housing supply by as much as 30% by 2035

🏠 Help renters become owners by bringing starter homes back to Colorado

💰 Improve and expand support for first-time homebuyers

🏚️ Preserve and rehabilitate existing houses into affordable homes

❌ Eliminate expensive, unnecessary red tape through state government that is reliable, consistent and efficient 

📈 Expand and strengthen state financing to attract private investments in housing statewide

📉 Lower the cost of construction, permitting and regulatory delays

🫂 Reduce homelessness and address the root causes of housing instability 

Housing should be a foundation for opportunity in Colorado, not a barrier to it. We owe it to ourselves, and the next generation, to make homeownership in our state within reach of us all – because it's key to building a future.

So as governor, I'll bring everyone to the table – from state and local government, to builders, to nonprofits, to philanthropists, to businesses – to deliver meaningful change.

And if we act with urgency and vision, I know that together, we can build a Colorado where every family has an affordable place to call home.

But I won't be able to make this happen without your urgent support today.

Please, friend, join me in the fight to make Colorado the most affordable state to live, work and raise a family by pitching in $5, $25 or the best gift you can make to my campaign today.

Together,

Michael
