Colorado State House Candidates

House District 23
Alexis Hoffkling
I’m Dr. Alexis Hoffkling. I am a safety net primary care doctor, a foster mom, and a union member.
As a family doctor for those with Medicaid and without insurance, I am honored to apply science, fact-based reasoning, and human compassion to craft concrete plans to improve peoples’ lives. I also see the human stakes of policy decisions - when things go well, or poorly, I see the faces of those most affected.
In the legislature, I will fight for:
• Defending democracy and civil rights
• Accessible affordable healthcare for all
• An economy that works for working people
• Investing in our children

House District 28
Dave Rein
It shouldn't be this hard to own a home in a friendly community, to find work that treats you with dignity, and to have access to meaningful healthcare.
We need leaders who will aggressively challenge the status quo. Every Colorado family deserves the opportunity to make their version of the American Dream a reality, and it shouldn't be this hard. I fight for my clients in court and at the negotiating table; as a City Councilor, I fight for my constituents.
With your support and vote, I am ready to fight for you and all working families in the Colorado legislature.

House District 29
Lori Goldstein
I have spent my whole life as a public servant, first as an educator, and then on the Adams 12 Board of Education. Decisions are made in the 110 day Legislative session and I want to be a part of that, working with other legislatures to make decisions that are best for the people of Colorado.

House District 30
Rebekah Stewart
Now more than ever, it is crucial that our state leaders fight to defend our freedoms, protect our neighbors and immigrant communities, and continue working to reduce costs and create opportunities for Coloradans to thrive.
Since being elected, I’m proud to have passed legislation to increase affordable housing construction, expand access to healthcare for kids with disabilities, and protect our water resources here in Colorado. But there is more work to do.
I am running for re-election to continue showing up and delivering for our community, working hard to lower your cost of living, and standing up to the Trump administration here in Colorado.
