Alex Valdez represents Colorado’s House District 5, which encompasses the urban core of Denver. He was elected in 2018 to succeed former House Speaker Crisanta Duran. Alex Valdez was born and raised in the Denver Metro area. After the recession hit, he founded a solar business with a grassroots campaign out of a co-working space in the River North Art District (RiNo). Today, his dedication and hard work have helped that company flourish into one of Colorado’s largest solar companies.
Home affordability and accessibility are in crisis in House District 5. We will focus on stabilizing the housing market, keeping families in their homes, and making sure that more Coloradans are benefiting from the building boom.
I will fight to ensure CHFA (Colorado Housing and Finance Authority) is strong and well funded, providing affordable home ownership in our community.
I will fight to pass a tenant’s rights bill that ensures people who rent have rights in our state. Furthermore, I support a repeal of state laws that prohibit cities from making affordable housing a reality.
