    “As chairperson of the House Judiciary Committee, he was influential in passing laws advancing criminal justice reforms and civil liberties. He has been an outspoken defender of workers’ rights and a reformer of the state tax code to make it work better for small businesses and seniors. He was a key player behind bills updating Colorado’s anti-trust laws, preventing price gouging and restricting multi-million dollar credits that were benefitting insurance companies. He tried limiting developers’ taxing authority through metropolitan districts — a move that was blocked by deep-pocketed home builders.”

    “We’ve previously pointed out to readers that Democratic state Rep. Mike Weissman has been a consistent force for thoroughness as a lawmaker, often pointing out critical nuance or potential unintended consequences of legislative proposals. He’s also earned the reputation of being the conscience of the House, making clear when well-intended laws and dubious proposals have the potential to run over people with little means of recourse. But Weissman’s real strength for Aurora is in standing behind policies that offer security and strength to those without powerful lobbies under the Gold Dome. Weissman is a reliable ally for people and families who struggle against bureaucracies and systems that too often become insurmountable for those who don’t boast economic, educational or racial privileges.”

    “Voters need to do all of Colorado a favor by sending House District 36 Rep. Mike Weissman back to the Capitol. The resolute legislator has earned the reputation of being the conscience and auditor of the House. He regularly finds what’s right and wrong with critical bills written by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. More than anything, Weissman can be depended on to check whether the intentions of a bill will meet expectations, and what the real intentions most likely are.”

    “Mike Weissman has, from the get-go, offered thoughtful and measured approaches to legislating. He has a clear sense of the issues facing north-central Aurora and an equally clear sense of how to address them. His pragmatic approach to problems such as transportation, housing and even the needs of rural Coloradans makes him a clear choice for this diverse House district.”
