Stewart: Support for Caitlin Carey

As the Glenwood Springs Post Independent reported, Perry Will responded by saying, “We ran lots of bills down at the legislature on early childhood development, all that kind of thing with Governor Polis on this. But it is, it’s tough, and I know it’s tough on families.”

In fact, the Colorado legislature did pass some bills to address early childhood issues — but Will voted against them. He voted against a bill to provide additional aid to low-income preschool students (HB24-1387). He also voted against a bill to improve access to Colorado’s Child Care Assistance Program (HB24-1223).

Will said he knows it’s tough on families. Then why did he vote “no” on the Family Affordability Tax Credit bill (HB24-1311), to create a tax credit to help all families, not just low-income families? And why did he vote “no” on a bill to provide aid to Colorado high school students experiencing homelessness while in high school (HB24-1403)?

Caitlin Carey is a parent and understands families. She deserves our vote. In her own words, she says, “You deserve someone who is true to their word and won’t vote against things like tax credit for families with an employee in the ‘care’ industry.” She has a plan to move us “thoughtfully forward” on this and many other issues. She is the leader this county needs. Vote for Caitlin.
