Democratic Candidate Announces Candidacy for HD 30
Aurora, Colo.- Jenise May has announced her intent to run as the Democratic candidate for representative of the newly formed Colorado House District 30. May, a Colorado native, has worked for the State of Colorado for the past 25 years, most recently as deputy executive director of Colorado Department of Human Services.
House District 30 is a new district formed during the recent reapportionment. The district, located in Adams county, spans three cities and is populated by more than 13,900 people.
“I want to make sure we not only protect the jobs we currently have, but also attract companies that offer living wages,” said May. “It is also important that we make public education a priority and invest in our children.”
Since announcing her candidacy, May has received endorsements from numerous Democratic legislators including Rep. Cherylin Peniston of HD 35, D, Rep. Rhonda Fields of HD 42, D, Citizen Advocate Art Zamora, R, Commissioner Steve Burgess, Ind, former president of the Northwest Aurora Neighborhood Association Carmen Miranda, D, and former executive director of Colorado Department of Human Services Karen Beye.
“I have worked with Jenise in the past and I am pleased that she has announced her candidacy for house district 56,” said Fields. “As a leader, Jenise is fair, knowledgeable and has been an advocate for under-represented Coloradans on tough issues.”
May plans to focus on the difficult day-to-day issues that most Coloradans face such as addressing unemployment, transportation, improving public education and restoring voter confidence in elected officials.She also intends to enhance state policy, especially in areas that affect veterans and senior citizens, once elected.
