Denver & the Front Range: What This Platform Delivers for Yo

Carmen Broesder - Candidate for Governor of Colorado - Urban Summary

Front Range Stability, Civil Rights, and Systems Protection

Over 75% of Coloradans live along the Front Range.
Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo are where congestion, rising costs, and system strain appear first—not because these cities are failing, but because they absorb pressure when other systems break.

Colorado functions as an ecosystem.
When one part collapses, the consequences land here.

This platform is built around a systems-first approach: reduce strain before it reaches the Front Range, instead of endlessly reacting once hospitals, housing, transportation, and public safety systems are overwhelmed.

Below are the direct, measurable outcomes this platform delivers for Front Range residents.


Cost of Living & Housing Stability

What you’re experiencing now

  • Rising rents and home prices
  • Overcrowding and long commutes
  • Competition for limited housing stock
  • Families losing housing when one person’s employment, healthcare, or legal status suddenly changes
     

What this platform does

  • Expands workforce, cooperative, ADU, and tiny-home housing statewide to reduce demand pressure in metro areas
  • Removes state-level barriers that block small-scale, community-based housing solutions
  • Prevents people from being discharged into homelessness from hospitals, foster care, and prisons
  • Treats housing as infrastructure, accelerating approvals and responsibly using state land
  • Ensures married couples and mixed-status households are not denied housing, healthcare, or basic human rights because one partner’s status changes due to federal action or administrative shifts
     

No family should lose housing or care because paperwork changed overnight. That is not personal failure, it is a systems failure, and the state has a responsibility to prevent it.


Front Range impact

  • Slower rent escalation through reduced demand pressure
  • Fewer people pushed into metro homelessness systems
  • More housing options without mega-developer control
  • Greater stability for families during periods of federal instability
     

Traffic, Insurance Rates & Infrastructure Wear

What you’re experiencing now

  • I-25 congestion
  • Longer emergency response times
  • Rising auto insurance premiums
     

What this platform does

  • Keeps rural hospitals, services, and jobs operational so people are not forced into daily long-distance commuting
     
  • Builds housing tied directly to employment and healthcare access
  • Prioritizes maintenance, safety, and real capacity over flashy, low-return projects
     

Front Range impact

  • Fewer vehicles forced onto Front Range corridors
  • Reduced collision risk and insurance pressure
  • Infrastructure dollars used where they actually reduce strain
     

Healthcare Access, ER Wait Times & Equal Treatment

What you’re experiencing now

  • Overcrowded ERs
  • Staff burnout
  • Delayed and crisis-driven care
  • Patients denied or delayed care due to disability, documentation confusion, or fear-driven administrative decisions
     

What this platform does

  • Prevents rural hospital closures that shift patients into Front Range ERs
  • Expands community-owned and cooperative hospitals and clinics
  • Stabilizes behavioral health systems so crises are treated early, not at ER doors
  • Enforces ADA and Section 504 protections statewide, including against hospitals, contractors, and federally entangled systems that deny access through delay, paperwork barriers, or intimidation
     

Citizen-Led ADA & Section 504 Enforcement and Education

Colorado will implement citizen-led education and enforcement initiatives that:

  • Train residents, advocates, and service providers on ADA and Section 504 rights
  • Support individuals in filing complaints against federal agencies and federally funded entities when access is denied
  • Ensure complaints result in:
    • Restitution for harmed individuals
    • Corrective action and compliance reform
    • Required training and accountability for institutions that violated the law
       

This approach strengthens civil rights enforcement without criminalization, improves compliance through education, and ensures disabled people, immigrants, mixed-status families, and high-risk patients receive equal treatment across systems.

Front Range impact

  • Shorter ER wait times
  • Less crisis-driven care
  • Reduced burnout among healthcare workers
  • Equal access regardless of disability, documentation status, or federal instability
     

Public Safety Without Surveillance Overreach

What you’re experiencing now

  • Police stretched beyond their training
  • Mental health crises handled poorly
  • Growing distrust tied to expanding surveillance
     

What this platform does

  • Expands co-responder and diversion models
  • Focuses on behavior-based intervention rather than blanket monitoring
  • Uses executive authority to enforce existing anti-stalking, harassment, and data-misuse laws when surveillance systems are used to track, intimidate, or profile residents without lawful purpose
  • Requires transparency, notice, retention limits, and accountability for any surveillance used by state agencies or contractors
     

This does not create new law.
It enforces existing law in the modern surveillance environment.

Front Range impact

  • Fewer repeat crises
  • Better outcomes for officers and communities
  • Public safety that does not depend on permanent monitoring of innocent people
     

Immigration Protection Through Equal Access

Federal instability should not determine whether someone can:

  • Receive medical care
  • Remain housed
  • Access disability accommodations
  • Keep their family intact
     

This platform strengthens immigration protections by:

  • Ensuring equal access to state systems regardless of federal enforcement shifts
  • Using ADA, Section 504, and civil-rights frameworks to protect people whose access changes suddenly
  • Supporting citizen-led accountability instead of fear-based compliance
  • Treating mixed-status families as families—not paperwork problems
     

This protects civil liberties for everyone, not just immigrants.


Why This Matters for the Front Range

Front Range challenges are not isolated failures.
They are pressure symptoms of systems stretched too thin, centralized without resilience, and forced to react instead of stabilize.

This platform:

  • Reduces strain before it reaches Denver
  • Stabilizes access before crises escalate
  • Protects civil rights while maintaining order
  • Uses existing law deliberately and aggressively
     

That’s not rural-first.
That’s systems-first.

Results matter.
