Government Leadership
Leadership is at the very least, a balance of competence and innovation, confidence and humility. Leaders must be willing to empower and work with individuals who in some cases, are more talented in specific areas than they are. Leaders must understand their role and work to improve outcomes, not hinder them. When we see significant deficits in these areas, we as citizens and business owners and constituents of our elected officials, will step in to fill those gaps and seek new and better leadership.
Economy
Many of the things we cherish today come in great part from a thriving economy: a job, a nice home, good schools, funding for arts and culture and taxes generated to invest in our community and infrastructure. In the 21st century, it is a vibrant economy that enables us to meet our work-life goals and helps raise the visibility and reputation of our region on the world stage.

Infrastructure
In order to be a vibrant and attractive community, we must prioritize funding to pay for the level of infrastructure we desire so we have green parks and medians and roads that do not damage our cars as we drive to work and school. We need to ensure Colorado Springs’ infrastructure is attractive to the people visiting, relocating to, or establishing a business in our city. We need to be proud of the way our city looks and functions and clearly show we are ready and open for business!

Utilities
Running a complex utility company is a challenging and demanding task. Is our established form of utility governance appropriate for the decisions that must be made to keep our utility as effective as it was in the past and for meeting the needs of the citizens and the community in the decades ahead?

Military
Colorado Springs Forward stands in support of the mission of our American men and women in uniform. They are our family in our nation and certainly, right here in the Pikes Peak region. In many respects, our local base commanders with their extensive operations are our customers. We need to be engaged with a business plan to help them find solutions to the challenges they face. We need to ask them how we can assist their organizations to keep the military assets right here at the foot of Pikes Peak.

We work to create partnerships and establish relationships, which promote our vision of Colorado Springs being an extraordinary place to live, work and play. We do not wish to create redundancies, but to work together in unique ways with so many others in our communities who share this vision.
We are grateful for powerful partnerships. They each enhance community, prosperity and leadership in a variety of ways.
These partnerships in no way shape or form constitute agreement or involvement in candidate endorsements. Colorado Springs Forward makes candidate endorsements entirely independently and does not expect or imply that partners support or engage in any of our political action committee work.
