Jenny Willford is too extreme for colorado
In her two year term, Jenny Willford has championed some of the most extreme and harmful legislation ever seen in Colorado. Representing House District 34, which encompasses Northglenn, Federal Heights, and parts of Thornton, she has repeatedly jeopardized the safety and wellbeing of her constituents.
Her radical legislative actions pose a serious threat to public safety. It is important that she be removed from office to halt her destructive agenda before it inflicts irreversible damage.
Opposed Mandatory Sentences for Sexual Crimes Against Prostituted Minors
Jenny Willford opposed vital bipartisan legislation that would have imposed mandatory four-year or eight-year sentences for sexual crimes against prostituted minors, varying with the crime’s severity. Her alarming rejection of this measure severely undermined critical efforts to protect vulnerable youth from exploitation.
Her vote blocked the legislation from reaching the full Colorado General Assembly, effectively silencing discussion on this critical issue among her own peers!
Voted Against Felony Charges for Indecent Exposure to a Child
As a State Representative, Jenny Willford shockingly voted against legislation designed to categorize indecent exposure in the presence of children under 15 as a class 6 felony, particularly when the perpetrator is at least four years older than the child.
Despite overwhelming bipartisan support for this protective measure, Willford chose a stance that effectively shields sex offenders, raising serious concerns about her commitment to child safety.

Voted to Release Undocumented Immigrants Who Commit Crimes
Thanks to a bill co-sponsored by Jenny Willford that prevents local law enforcement from detaining undocumented immigrants arrested for crimes, these individuals are frequently released back into the community without any tracking of their criminal records.
This alarming policy has consistently allowed dangerous offenders to slip through the cracks, evade justice, and pose ongoing threats to public safety, effectively placing bureaucratic priorities above the safety and welfare of the community.
Voted To Ban Women's Self Defense Handguns
Jenny Willford voted in favor of radical legislation that sought to ban nearly 60% of handguns typically used by women for self-defense, effectively stripping vulnerable women and abuse survivors of essential protection. Her backing of this bill demonstrates her troubling tendency to favor the interests of perpetrators.
Furthermore, the legislation aimed to prohibit almost 90% of shotguns relied upon by hunters, a severe move that would drastically affect those dependent on hunting for sustenance. Willford’s support for such extreme measures underscores her profound disconnection from the needs and values of her constituents.

Voted to Put Drug Injection Sites In Thornton & Northglenn
Jenny Willford co-sponsored a controversial bill to establish high-risk legal drug injection sites in Thornton and Northglenn, akin to those in cities like San Francisco, which are notorious for degrading local communities, attracting crime, and promoting drug use among impressionable youth.
The proposal was so extreme that it was unanimously rejected by both Democrats and Republicans, highlighting a rare bipartisan consensus against Willford’s alarming agenda.

Voted to cut your TABOR refunds by 85%
In 2022, Coloradans benefitted from “Colorado Cashback” TABOR refund checks. However, in the midst of rampant inflation in 2023 and 2024, when taxpayers were most desperate for relief, they received $800 TABOR refunds. Jenny Willford has now jeopardized this vital aid by co-sponsoring legislation that slashes these refunds by over 85%, diverting these much-needed funds to her favored initiatives. This drastic cut threatens to deepen the financial strain on Colorado families at a time when they can least afford it.

voted against government Transparency
As a Colorado State Representative, Jenny Willford voted for a measure that would permit government officials to block public access to records currently available under the Colorado Open Records Act, compelling citizens to engage in expensive legal battles to obtain records—even those concerning themselves!
Alarmingly, Willford also supported a provision that would exempt elite media outlets from this restrictive policy, creating a double standard that favors powerful interests over the general public’s right to information.
* HB24-1296
* The Gazette: “Don’t blacklist Coloradans who seek public records“
Voted to Force Private Property Owners to Sell to Government First
Jenny Willford co-sponsored a bill that grants local governments first rights to purchase any privately-owned multi-family properties statewide, pushing private citizens to the back of the queue. This alarming legislation enables the government to preemptively bid on both affordably priced and market-rate apartments, effectively sidelining regular individuals from the property market and concentrating ownership power in the hands of the state.
