Lindsey Daugherty

Representative | Arvada, CO

Since being elected to the State House in 2020, I’ve worked tirelessly to pass legislation that improves the lives of all Coloradans. I’ve sponsored dozens of bills focused on crucial issues like protecting Colorado’s youth, improving public safety, supporting local businesses, making quality healthcare more transparent and affordable, enhancing workers’ rights, and making our justice system more equitable. Some of my most notable accomplishments include establishing the Foster Youth in Transition Program (HB21-1094) to support youth who age out of the foster care system, and the Bill of Rights for Foster Youth (HB24-1017) which ensures Colorado’s foster youths are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve by addressing critical areas like protection from discrimination, access to education and healthcare, preparation for adulthood, and a written notification of their rights.

I’m also proud to have voted for transformative legislation like the Reproductive Health Equity Act (HB22-1279), which codified the right to abortion in Colorado law, and HB21-1299, which established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to coordinate efforts and promote effective strategies to reduce gun violence throughout the state.
