Dave is a native Coloradan who never thought that he would run for public office. He started his career as an educator, teaching math, science, and technology at Heath Junior High in Greeley for 24 years. He then went on to teach at CU Denver for another decade, and worked in the private tech sector for about 4 years.
As a State Representative, my colleagues and I took on the NRA by successfully limiting the size of magazines and expanding background checks. PERA currently invests over a million dollars in the gun industry. As State Treasurer, I will stand up to the NRA and strongly encourage PERA to divest from these dangerous companies. Our retired teachers and public servants should not rely on the success of the gun industry in order to receive their full retirement benefits.
