Ballots Are Out – Why I’m Voting for Amber Tafoya – Matt Cattanach

Greetings friends and neighbors!

I hope you are well and enjoying the ever-changing weather that Colorado summers bring.  I write to invite you to join me in voting for my wife Amber Tafoya.  As the person who knows her best, let me explain why I am voting for Amber.  Amber is passionate about improving the lives of those it is easy to forget; victims of domestic violence, children born into poverty and abuse, the homeless, immigrants, and the elderly.  More than that, Amber is a relentless advocate for the everyday person.  She comes from humble beginnings.  She works diligently with humility and purpose.  Read more >>

Amber Tafoya is working hard to be your next State Representative for our district, HD4.  An attorney and Army wife who is active in the Democratic Party and our community, she would be honored to represent the people of Northwest and West Denver.

Amber understands the struggles we face as Coloradoans from her own experience.  She knows that each of us has valuable wisdom to offer in solving tough problems and making our government work for us.  That's why she and her team have visited over 13,000 homes in our district to talk about the issues that concern them most and where we need her to produce results.

Amber is the only candidate in this race that has worked on over 30 pieces of legislation, including: Payday Lending rate caps, the Address Confidentiality Program increased protections for victims of domestic violence, worker protections, equal pay for equal work, and protecting Old Age Pension and the Senior Homestead Tax Exemption.  She has also been able to strengthen protection orders and worked to increase funding for women's shelters without increasing taxes.  In addition to women, children and seniors, she has successfully fought for enforceable labor protections, health care for all, and quality education for our children.

As an active leader in our community, her team in the south end of the district brought out hundreds of new English and Spanish-speaking voters for President Obama.  She leads a variety of community improvement efforts including playing a lead role in graffiti clean ups and City Councilman Paul Lopez's Neighborhood Congress.  Amber was one of the leaders in saving Lake International Middle School.
