MEET JAMIE

I was born and raised in Denver, fortunate to grow up in a two-parent household where my parents instilled in me the values of service, compassion, and commitment to community. My mother, a public-school educator for over 30 years, dedicated her career to uplifting students from low-income families as a teacher, principal, and Director of Title 1. My father, a Rec Center Director and coach, mentored countless youth, helping them realize their potential and make positive life choices. Their example ignited my passion for community service, shaping the person I am today.

I moved to House District 41 in 2010 and have been dedicated to serving others and making positive impacts in the community ever since. Whether through community involvement or my professional positions, I have always sought to uplift and empower those around me. In addition to my professional work, I am proud to serve as Vice President of Colorado Black Women for Political Action, where I advocate for equity and civic engagement, and as Criminal Justice Chair for the Aurora NAACP, where I work to advance fairness and accountability in our justice system. I was also appointed to serve on the Arapahoe County Justice Coordinating Committee and Racial Equity Sub Committee.

In my professional capacities, I’ve ensured that my work aligns with my values. From my role as Program Administrator for the Denver Sheriff Department, where I led the first jail-based voter registration and education program in Colorado, to serving as COO for the Colorado Children’s Campaign, where I contributed to impactful legislation improving the lives of children and families, I have always sought to make a difference. Now, as Chief Operating Officer for The Naloxone Project, I lead efforts to distribute lifesaving Naloxone throughout Colorado and 12 other states, reducing stigma and saving lives in the fight against the opioid epidemic.

I’m also deeply passionate about serving our aging population. I started a business, Premier Senior Support, where I provided technology education and support for residents of Heather Gardens. This experience reinforced the importance of empowering our seniors and ensuring they have the tools and resources to stay connected and engaged. 

Additionally, as a proud mother, I’m thrilled that my son was recently accepted into an apprenticeship program with the millworker's union. His achievement highlights how critical it is to protect and support our working class through policies that expand access to quality jobs, apprenticeships, and pathways to economic stability.

I am seeking this position because I want to continue and expand the work I have been doing to serve our neighbors and make House District 41 a place where everyone can thrive, not just survive.

My vision for House District 41 is one where every voice is heard, and decisions are made through collaboration and community engagement. I will fight for a healthy, affordable, and just society for ALL Coloradans. With your support, I will work tirelessly to ensure our community is represented with integrity, equity, and dedication.
