MEET MIKE
It is the honor of my life to have served as Colorado State Representative for House District 36 since 2017, passing laws that support economic and housing justice, fight climate change, strengthen consumer protection laws, and reform our criminal justice system. Due to Colorado's term limit laws, I am now running for Colorado State Senate District 28 to continue my work representing the people of North Aurora.
MY PRIORITIES

✔ Housing
✔ Cost of Living
✔ Consumer Protection
✔ Individual Rights
✔ Criminal Justice
✔ Environmental Protection
✔ Good Government
✔ Education
✔ Veterans
✔ Health Care
✔ Gun Violence Prevention
✔ Transportation

“As the People's Lawyer, one of my top priorities is standing up for consumers and preventing people from getting harmed by bad actors. But to do that I need strong laws on the books to hold accountable those who act illegally - that's where Rep. Mike Weissman has been my partner. For years, Mike has been a champion for his Aurora constituents by pushing for stronger consumer protection laws and preventing people from getting taken advantage of.
— Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser

“I served with Mike Weissman during his first two years as a representative and appreciated his careful attention to our state's budget and tax laws and the role those play in advancing our top priorities. Mike worked to get rid of special interest tax breaks so that we could protect education funding in our budget and help working families and small businesses recover from the recession. As the custodian of Colorado's tax dollars, I appreciate lawmakers who know that budgets are moral documents, not just numbers.
— Colorado State Treasurer Dave Young
