Barb Kirkmeyer is a 4th generation Coloradan, Mom, and small businesswoman. Barb has a record of delivering meaningful results for her community as a State Senator and a Weld County Commissioner.
  • To Address Colorado's Affordability crisis, Barb will:

    -Lower Insurance by increasing competition, reducing mandates, and reining in lawsuit abuse. L-Lower Grocery and Home construction costs by repealing onerous regulations and increasing water supply. -Create a “Regulatory Bill of Rights” that holds State Agencies accountable for the private sector costs from new regulations. -Pursue a “Best of the Above” energy plan that will lower prices and power new jobs. “Best of the Above” means the most cost-effective, substantial and ready-to-go energy solutions for Colorado.

    -Stop the bureaucratic growth in government that that’s leading to more taxes and fees.
  • To Address Colorado's Public Safety problems, Barb will:Support law enforcement.Strengthen drug laws and sentencing.Equip Schools with security and technology to prevent attacks.Ensure roads and bridges are safe.Ensure Every Community has access to a Hospital.
  • To Rebuild Colorado's unravelling infrastructure, Barb will: -Nearly double road maintenance and construction funding by focusing $6 billion in four years, $10 billion in 8 years, without raising taxes. -Restore CDOT to its mission of maintaining our roads to a high standard of safety.-Support bottom-up transportation planning, by removing Denver bureaucrats' influence over regional planning. -Support reservoir expansions and other water projects that increase water storage.
As a member of the Joint Budget Committee, Barb is passionate about a state government that keeps its eye on the ball, meeting the needs of its citizens efficiently and effectively. She wants Colorado Government to do the basics, and do them well, rather than distract agency missions with pet political projects and divisive special interest agendas. "Back to the Basics" means less regulations, improved public safety, and better infrastructure throughout Colorado.
To make sure Colorado's government does basics. Our roads should be safe. Our laws should be enforced. Our schools should produce smart and self-sufficient young adults. And we need to reign in government overreach that is so rampant right now, because it makes life in Colorado more expensive.
I worked on my family's dairy farm in northern Jefferson County. My first job was to feed and water the animals first thing in the morning and again in the evening each day. I later owned and operated the farm.
I believe it is important for a separate-but-equal branch of government, with elected representatives accountable to voters, to hold the Executive Branch accountable for its stewardship of tax dollars. That is why the Founders bestowed the Legislature with the power of the purse, as a member of the Joint Budget Committee, I certainly agree. It may not be perfect, but it's better than all the other alternatives.
Former Governor Bill Owens, Congressman Gabe Evans, Former Attorney General John Suthers, and many state legislators, to name a few.
I believe Colorado's government needs to embrace new technologies and welcome emerging business sectors. 30 years ago, Colorado was the central hub for the nascent broadband internet market. We need to reform state tax laws on data center equipment, which are prohibitive, or we will miss out on biggest evolution in high tech since broadband internet. With regard to regulation: State regulators do not have the technical capacity or expertise to regulate artificial intelligence in a specific manner. AI companies, like all other kinds of businesses, must abide by existing Colorado law respecting privacy, intellectual property, and liability.

Barb Kirkmeyer has built a record as a conservative fighter who wins as the state senator from District 23, encompassing Broomfield and portions of Weld and Larimer counties, and as a 20-year Weld County Commissioner.

In her first year as a state senator, Barb was able to pass 17 bills to promote economic and personal freedom and improve Coloradans’ safety and quality of life, in spite of the Democrats’ advantage in the chamber. She was acknowledged by Colorado Politics as a notable legislator who “ debated like a statehouse veteran, not a first-year back bencher.”

Barb Kirkmeyer is a 4th generation Coloradan who has lived in southern Weld County for over 35 years. As a Weld County Commissioner for 20 years, Kirkmeyer pursued a strongly conservative agenda, leaving Weld County as Colorado’s only large, debt-free county. She also helped coordinate an effort to make Weld County a Second Amendment sanctuary from liberal assaults on gun rights. Prior to serving as a county commissioner, Barb co-owned and operated a dairy farm, was a small business owner for 15 years, and served in Governor Owens’ cabinet as the acting executive executive director of the Department of Local Affairs.

Kirkmeyer graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in physical education. Both her daughters graduated from Weld County schools and live with their families in southern Weld County.
Reducing deficit spending and the national debt
Perhaps the greatest threat to America's long-term prosperity and standing in the world are runaway deficits and debt.
I support term limits and would back a Constitutional amendment.
As a current state legislator and former county commissioner, I know that compromise is sometimes necessary. But it must be done without sacrificing core values.

2014

Kirkmeyer's campaign website listed the following issues:[3]

“
  • Fiscal Responsibility: "Over 13 years as a County Commissioner, Barbara has a proven track record as a fiscal conservative. In her time on the Commission, Weld is the only county in the state with no debt, no county sales tax, and actually has given a refund back to taxpayers year after year."
  • 2nd Amendment: "In Colorado, the right to keep and bear arms is more than just a slogan; it is a part of our culture. Barbara helped draft and pass a resolution in support of Weld County Sheriff John Cooke’s efforts to oppose the egregious anti-gun legislation imposed by the Colorado Legislature. Barbara strongly supports the 2nd Amendment, without compromise."
  • Defending the Right to Life: "Standing up for the unborn means more than just making speeches. As a County Commissioner, Barbara voted to ban the Plan B abortion bill, and has been a proud and consistent supporter of the Personhood movement, unambiguously defending life from conception."
  • Protecting our Energy Resources: "In Colorado, we are blessed with an abundance of oil and natural gas that have the potential to be a huge boon to our economy. Unfortunately, radical environmentalists and the EPA have put up roadblock after roadblock to try to stifle our energy sector. Barbara has been a strong advocate for fracking, and enthusiastically supports the further exploration for oil and gas in Colorado."
  • Health Care: "Colorado families have been hammered by ObamaCare, and Barbara will go to Washington, DC and fight to get rid of this costly program that has hurt our state. Thousands of families have seen their plans cancelled, while thousands more have fewer options and higher premiums and deductibles. ObamaCare has been a disaster, and it must be repealed."

Scorecards

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
