My name is Julie McCluskie, and I have the honor of serving as the State Representative for House District 13 and Speaker for the Colorado House of Representatives. House District 13 includes Chaffee, Grand, Jackson, Lake, Park, and Summit Counties. I am proud to represent some of the most beautiful landscapes and warm, welcoming communities in all of Colorado!
I was born and raised in Colorado. My husband and I have lived most of our married lives in the mountains, spending the last two decades raising our children in Summit County. My husband owns a small business, and I’ve worked most of my career in public schools. We have been fortunate to live our own Colorado Dream!
Over the past few years, the High Country has been significantly impacted by the increasing cost of living and threats to our natural resources. Over the past seven legislative sessions, we’ve made solid progress in saving Coloradans money on housing, health care, and child care.
We have also set up students for lifelong success through increased and more equitable public school funding, universal pre-k, and more accessible and affordable higher education opportunities. We’ve delivered innovative workforce development programs and invested in economic development for smaller rural communities. Additionally, we have taken action regarding the climate crisis, preserved our public lands, and protected our most valuable natural resources.
I am deeply honored to serve the people of the Western Slope and rural Colorado. Now, more than ever, we must protect our Colorado way of life and ensure we all have a chance to pursue our own Colorado Dream.
Warm regards to you and your family,
