Hi, I’m Danielle, and I’m the Democrat Running for CO State House District 27

“As a mom to three young girls, I think every day about what our future looks like for them. As the next State Representative for CO House District 27, I hope to be a part of the vision for that future.

As a long-time resident of Arvada, I have come to love these neighborhoods, our mountains, and our connected communities. Supporting our schools, businesses, health systems, and economy have become part of my everyday life. As a Jefferson County School Board Director, I have experience translating policy into action, and tackling some pretty tough issues. Staying grounded in my values and building connections with community members has always been my guiding focus.

Now I’m ready to take my vision for Colorado to the state legislature. I plan to dive deep into our budget, bringing with me my experience balancing a billion-dollar budget for Jeffco Schools. I will rely on my experience as a small business owner to create a thriving ecosystem for a strong economy. I will leverage my success in strengthening systems that support kids, families, and older adults to support a healthier Colorado for everyone. I won’t stop until we have stability for our middle-class families and opportunities for those disenfranchised by traditional systems.

My approach to leadership has always been rooted in empathy, authentic relationships, and a belief that people are experts in their experiences. I am grateful for the trust in me to bring that leadership to the Colorado State House.” ~ Danielle Varda
