Dear Neighbor:
I am ready to serve our senate district to further the visions we share, to promote the values that are at the core of the Democratic Party and to work tirelessly on legislation that will have a positive impact for the hardworking people in our district and Colorado.
As a son of hardworking parents, I know firsthand the struggles that many of us are facing in this current economic climate. As your next Senator I will work each day to balance our budget, create jobs, support local businesses and begin to invest in our futures, all without compromise at the expense of hardworking Coloradans and kids.
I have the experience and the stamina that is required to be an effective leader in the Senate and a strong advocate of our diverse communities. Together we can build an even better future for all Coloradans and for future generations.
I look forward to earning your trust and support.
Alex Sanchez
