I grew up in Colorado. My parents taught me to work hard and set lofty goals. They taught me to love the sense of adventure and the opportunities that are unique to Colorado.
House District 49 is unique because it is made up of many communities, each with its own, independent voice. We are also connected by many common issues: jobs, transportation, water, and open space between communities.
We all know that a well-educated workforce is necessary for a strong economy. If you have kids, you know that your children’s education is one of the biggest and most valuable investments you will make. Our state’s policies should reflect those values. Yet Colorado continually ranks near the bottom of the nation in funding when it comes to investing in education. The results speak for themselves.
The Stockley family has lived and worked in Colorado for generations. From them I’ve learned that our agricultural traditions offer insights for the future as well as a source of pride in the past. Those who came to northern Colorado more than a century ago to farm, like those who had been here for centuries, learned that you have to work with the land to make it grow.

Karen Stockley For House District 49

A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Karen Stockley has fought to protect our local quality of life, and she'll fight to increase opportunity for working families and their children.

Protect Small Business and Create Jobs

As a small business owner, I work hard every day to provide for my family.  I'll stand up to powerful special interests and hold government accountable to protect local families.  I'll close corporate loopholes that benefit big city special interests and instead will provide tax breaks to family farms and small businesses that create jobs in Northern Colorado.

Commonsense Government that Protects our Communities

I will work to protect the livelihoods of all Coloradoans, not the special interests.  It's just common sense that we deserve honest and effective government that listens to the people.  I want folks to have the freedom and security our local communities need to thrive, by creating opportunity for success and prosperity.

Protect Education Funding

As a mother of five, I know that a good education is the key to success.  We need to hold government accountable when it comes to public education.  I will support investments when it comes to public education, expand job-training opportunities, and work to keep our colleges affordable so that all Colorado's children can have a bright future.
