Show Notes

The Colorado General Assembly is back, which means it’s time to kick off season four of The West Steps. Episode 1 welcomes our Government Affairs Director, Riley Kitts, for an exciting conversation on what we can expect in the 2022 legislative session.  

A lot has happened since last session ended in June 2021. Interim committees and task forces convened on issues ranging from behavioral health to early childhood, developing recommendations to ensure legislators are prepared for the 2022 session. In today’s conversation, Riley dives into the Children’s Campaign’s policy priorities, many of which have been refined throughout the interim process. Coloradans should look forward to new legislation impacting the state’s housing and economic crisis, the new Department of Early Childhood, and improved health care access for all. Most importantly, though, we hope to strive toward making our systems work as best as they can for kids and families.  

Throughout the 2022 legislative session, the Colorado Children’s Campaign hopes to serve as a resource for all members of our community. There is no better time to get involved in our state government and push our legislators to prioritize families in Colorado.
