Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl wants to reduce regulation amid inflation and eliminate the state income tax

Ganahl, an at-large member of the University of Colorado Board of Regents, is the only Republican currently holding statewide office in Colorado. An entrepreneur, she founded the Camp Bow Wow dog care franchise. Her family now owns BBQ restaurants

In an interview with Colorado Matters, Ganahl said she’d tackle inflation by reducing state regulation and improving the climate for small business.

And she outlined her transportation plan, saying she’d ask voters to approve a list of specific construction programs aimed at reducing congestion.
