I ran for office because I've been blessed in life. I was raised with the values and support that allowed me to overcome challenges and succeed, and now I've raised two college-educated daughters with promising futures of their own. I feel a sense of commitment to our shared prosperity as Coloradoans, and I want to make sure that every citizen of our state has a fair shot at success like I did.

Three of the health care related bills signed by Governor Bill Ritter Monday in Lafayette were sponsored by State Rep. Dianne Primavera (D-Broomfield), a four-time cancer survivor.
"The legislative session was tough, but it's great to see results like this from all that hard work," Primavera said. "It's good to be here to do this, to see the real-life implications of the bills we pass in Denver, and how we really help people."
Ritter said changes in health care laws have helped Coloradans' health and our economy.
"We've worked since 2007 in stair-step fashion to do meaningful things in health care for the people in this state. We're not waiting for Washington to provide quality, affordable health care for Coloradans."
