Issues
What Jacque Will Do for our Community
Housing
I'm committed to championing policies that foster greater opportunities for all individuals to access upward mobility and attain the generational wealth inherent in homeownership. With Adams County and Colorado grappling with a housing shortage, I advocate for initiatives that expand housing options for both homeowners and renters, all while preserving the unique character of our neighborhoods. By working collaboratively, we can make homeownership more attainable and alleviate the burden of soaring rental costs.
Homelessness
Homelessness is a critical priority. I believe in implementing holistic solutions that provide comprehensive support to individuals experiencing homelessness. This includes increasing access to affordable housing options, expanding mental health and addiction services, and enhancing job training and employment opportunities. By adopting a multi-faceted approach, we can effectively address the root causes of homelessness and ensure that every member of our community has a safe place to call home.
Public Safety
Ensuring public safety is a cornerstone of our Democratic values, and I'm dedicated to enacting policies that reflect our commitment to justice, equity, and community well-being. This means fostering stronger partnerships between law enforcement agencies and local communities, promoting community policing initiatives that build trust and collaboration, and investing in preventative measures such as mental health resources and youth programs. Moreover, I will prioritize policies that enhance firefighter recruitment and retention efforts, ensuring that fire departments have the personnel needed to respond to emergencies promptly and efficiently. By collaborating with firefighters, unions, and community stakeholders.
High-Quality Jobs
I am dedicated to fostering collaboration in the pursuit of high-quality jobs and robust vocational training opportunities. I believe in working closely with labor unions, trade organizations, and community partners to develop comprehensive strategies that uplift workers and expand access to skill-building programs. Together, we can advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and equitable opportunities for all. By harnessing the collective strength of our community, we can build an inclusive economy that leaves no one behind.
Economy
You can count on me to prioritize progressive policies that support small businesses, foster innovation, and create equitable opportunities for all. By investing in infrastructure, education, and workforce development, I will ensure our local economy thrives while addressing disparities. As a dedicated collaborator, I will be working with community leaders to build a more inclusive and prosperous future for everyone.
Environment
I will work tirelessly to address environmental concerns, including the cleanup of toxic chemicals from places like the Thornton Shopping Center. This will involve advocating for comprehensive environmental remediation efforts, holding polluters accountable, and pushing for stricter regulations to prevent future contamination. Additionally, I will champion initiatives to promote renewable energy, combat climate change, and preserve our natural resources for future generations.
Women’s Reproductive Freedom and LGBTQ Liberation
I proudly stand as a staunch advocate for reproductive freedom and LGBTQ rights. I firmly believe in a person's right to make their own healthcare decisions, including access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services. Furthermore, my commitment to the LGBTQ community is unwavering. Having fought for LGBTQ residents on the Thornton City Council, I will continue to champion policies that promote equality, dignity, and inclusion for all individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Together, we will work to ensure that every person has the freedom to live authentically and access the care they need without discrimination.
