Karen attended college at the University of Florida obtaining a BS in Agriculture and then a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Karen grew up in a career Navy family with a father that served 30 years in the US Navy retiring as a Rear Admiral. There is more work to be done to save lives here in Colorado. To address firearms to be properly stored, to be reported if lost or stolen, to keep firearms out of the hands of domestic violence offenders, to temporarily remove firearms from a home where there is danger of self harm or harm to others. I am a strong supporter of common sense gun violence prevention efforts. I care about equity in care for the LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities and am a strong ally in policy decisions. I am working to bring prices down and to increase access to health care and mental health care. In health care I am focused on keeping health care decisions private and keeping the government out of personal health care choices for ourselves and our families. I will support sensible policies to get us to a fully renewable energy future. Our agricultural, recreational and urban economies all depend on the availability of water. We must think strategically about water efficiency efforts, sensible storage solutions, and conservation of water. I also care deeply about our planet and specifically in our state the future of our water resources. We must invest in our kids and therefore in all of our futures. We have one of the best economies in the country and our education funding is at the bottom. I am passionate about making sure every child in our state has access to the best public education possible for them to reach their highest potential. I’ve served as a board member on two animal related non-profits, a member of Rotary, a communications coach at CSU vet school and have been a volunteer English teacher to immigrants for the non-profit Intercambio. I now am proud to serve as the State Representative for House District 11, my town of Longmont. I practiced small animal medicine for 33 years, owned a very successful hospital in Colorado, employed 24 people with a budget of over 2 million. My career began at the University of Florida with a BS in Agriculture, and then I obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Married to a native Coloradan and living in Longmont for 28 years, we have raised 3 children and numerous dogs. One a Naval Academy graduate, a former fighter pilot and the second owns an aerospace company in Colorado. My upbringing instilled a clear sense of what it means to be an American and serve our country. My father served 30 years in the US Navy dedicating his career to our nation, retiring as a Rear Admiral.
