My name is Mike Weissman and I’m a resident of Aurora. I was elected to represent House District 36 in November, 2016 and re-elected in November, 2018 and 2020 and am currently serving my 3rd term as our state representative. It has been a great honor to go to work for the people of our district these past several years.I am proud to call Aurora my home because as Colorado’s most diverse city, Aurora reflects America as a whole. And I love living in Colorado because our state’s combination of outdoor beauty and cultural vibrancy is unmatched by any other. Like many Coloradans, I love spending time outside: working in the garden, running, hiking a new trail or mountain, or riding a bike along Arapahoe County’s trails and paths.
I strongly support keeping our beautiful state safe and livable for current as well as future generations. Keeping Colorado’s environment clean makes economic sense too. According to the Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Colorado alone is home to about 12% of all outdoor recreation companies nationwide and outdoor recreation creates over 100,000 jobs and $10 billion in economic activity in Colorado. Our mountains, canyons, rivers and forests are known beyond as well as within Colorado as amazing places to hike, camp, hunt, fish or float, and we should keep it that way.
