What are your views on ethics, transparency, and adherence to the Colorado and U.S. Constitutions? Where do you see gaps in current governance, and how would you address them?
TABOR as I believe has a couple meanings.
One and Historical figures NAME, and the other an acronym of the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. The former represents Colorado keeping and rehabilitating the State Theatre
THE HISTORIC TABOR OPERA HOUSE in the
Cloud City LEADVILLE. Our nonprofit Colorado Arts Consortium got the first Contract, $ 10 million Grant, Ownership to DCPA for an evening of Denver discovery; Douglas County Actor Beth Malone as THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN.

Economy and Fiscal Responsibility
How would you support Colorado’s economy, including small businesses and key industries such as energy and agriculture, while balancing growth, environmental stewardship, and job creation? What principles would guide your approach to the state budget and fiscal responsibility?

A Unity Governor elected by over half of the Unaffiliated Voters will engage as I have been through thick and thin. I am that political figure that has consistently ( a few Write-in)
Accessed the Ballot since 2006 for Governor.
The Legislators should all know me as I ran a close one with a millionaire, who bought it.
Now ending a career that damaged Democracy BY bringing her Out! When you know whom you serve now. God help us.
You must choose to change. Your vote only counts for Unity if You make that Clerk Call.
Ballot confusion is making possible that you need to ASK FOR UNITY BALLOT in order to make that Change from Majors to FIORINO UNITY
1st Amendment
What will you do as Colorado Governor to protect our citizens’ First Amendment rights to the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, peaceably assembly, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances?
Freedom of Speech, expression through Artistic or Religious beliefs and dialects.
I have occupied wall street walking the line with Guitar and Harmonica wailing along.

Citizenry together and be able to petition for change. I developed a petition in 2006 to be certified for use in the Unaffiliated race for Governor. Started campaign with a Penney.
I just need your vote in order to get things moving FORWARD. FIORINO FOR UNITY GOVERNOR is the best; YOU BET.
2nd Amendment
Do you believe that gun ownership is a civil right, and what is your position regarding restrictions on lawful gun owners such as laws making freedoms more difficult to exercise and making concealed carry permits more difficult to obtain?
Guns are everywhere. I see the ads, shops and Tanner doing business as usual. Some laws already in place has played with some leaving Town. But I reckoned that is still a happening. Background and Red Flag may be the best, yet to many Suicides by Firearms are an Epidemic amongst our community. Veterans who deserve the best for what they gave us; finding themselves on the other end of that which they must have fired a million times. This One we could assist with as our Youth are carrying play guns. I guess I was Paladin:Have Gun Will Travel, still have lunchbox. With so many guns and the ghost outlawed; most ownership knows their responsibility to no less carry.
Executive Management
How would you manage state agencies, select key appointees, and use executive authority—including executive orders and emergency powers—to ensure effective, accountable governance? Under what limits, if any, should those powers operate, and which existing orders would you repeal or substantially change?
Having been involved in the Local, State and National governance of Colorado wanting nonpartisianship in order to move Forward has led to over half of registration is the UNAFFILIATED VOTERS. My voters and appointees may come into the Fiorino Administration. The transparency of the Lobby industry surrounding the Capitol must be. Beginning with the Audit process with a Committee of Party People and Legislators.
Executive Orders may have considerable impact on our Environmental Hope movement to ensure that Colorado leads in the experiment of power and technology to improve the quality of life and economy for all.

Protecting the Most Vulnerable
If elected, how will you seek to protect the lives of the most vulnerable in our community, including the unborn, victims of trafficking and abuse, senior citizens, and those experiencing mental illness?
A Senior Citizen who understands that ageism is real and growing with the Boomer

Our transit systems carrying the lost, lonely and miserable needs US.
Education
How would your administration work to improve educational outcomes in Colorado, and what role do you believe the Governor should play regarding parental involvement, school choice, and local control?
More Arts Education, Ask for More!

Just like our Souls wish too be.
Constitutional Compatibility
Many Christians are concerned about ideologies that place the state, the collective, or religious law above individual liberty and limited constitutional government. Do you believe socialism, communism, or political movements seeking to impose religious law — including Islamic Sharia law — are compatible with America’s constitutional representative democracy? Why or why not?
What’s happening with the hijacked Christian messianic Zeal for this President is blasphemous in the greatest sense of the Word. Many Religions are Essential for Democracy as we see in Jerusalem. I was a working unionized dancer in 1976 Tel -Aviv.
We need to live together. UNITY seems to keep us together in knowing God loves us All.
Our choice to learn about others, to understand not all are so far out right or left.

Occupation/Vocation: Entrepreneur
Resident of Colorado: 21 years continuously in Colorado out of 42 total Colorado years. Midwest: 20 years (Iowa, Kansas). East Coast: 10 years (D.C., MA, NH).
Priorities, Vision, and Experience
What priorities and long-term vision would guide your administration as Governor, how have your experiences prepared you to lead, and what do you see as the most significant challenges facing Colorado over the next decade?
My priorities are to “Raise the Zone for a Coherent Colorado” immediately and long term. I’ll be a natural rain “maker”, to rain on the charade of “drought assistance” bureaucrats and politicians. I’ll create the position of Chief Coherence Officer to help.
Incoherence corrodes government, society and human life, like acid rain corrodes infrastructure, buildings, and the environment. The best antidote is “coherence” as an operating principle, and coherence technologies in virtually every area of government responsibility. It’s the key to affordable and effective solutions.
I’ve been exploring and promoting coherence-based solutions for 55 years. The biggest challenge is making the “two-party” model of an expensive, problem-based government obsolete, and building a new model of government that’s affordable and solution-based.
Accountability and Governance
Colorado’s Sunshine Law and Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) are examples of accountability measures that Colorado’s electorate voted into law. What are your views on ethics, transparency, and adherence to the Colorado and U.S. Constitutions? Where do you see gaps in current governance, and how would you address them?
I support TABOR and Colorado’s Sunshine Law for accountability. TABOR does not cause budget crises in governments and school districts. The gap is that government has become a “Rube Goldberg Machine” of complex legislation that produces few solutions.
It’s like the saying, “government contractors are paid to ‘look for’ solutions, not find solutions”. So, government keeps getting bigger and more in debt, but problems persist and grow.
Accountability should mean that government decisions and budgeting apply an “ounce of prevention” where possible and apply the most affordable and verifiably effective solutions at all other times.
The highest ethics should guide government decisions. Transparency is vital. People need to know if government is adhering to the Colorado and U.S. Constitutions.
Economy and Fiscal Responsibility
How would you support Colorado’s economy, including small businesses and key industries such as energy and agriculture, while balancing growth, environmental stewardship, and job creation? What principles would guide your approach to the state budget and fiscal responsibility?
My “Partnership for Applied Coherence Technologies” will launch previously untapped economic engines predicted to have trillion of dollars in economic impact. These engines are based on coherence technologies for large and small businesses that overlap agriculture, energy, defense, infrastructure and transportation. They’re elaborated in my SOLUTIONS BLUEPRINT, and book, “RAISE the ZONE.
Collectively, these technologies also reduce or prevent electromagnetic pollution, and pollution of the air, water, and soil. Together, they’ll improve environmental stewardship, while increasing economic growth, exports, and job creation. This can be achieved regardless of actions by the federal government, and without more costly tax-funded incentives or EVs. I will require state budgeting to prioritize policies and programs that actually solve problems at the least expense.
Citizen Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations
Our nation was established with the guiding principle that we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. How would you engage with citizens and work with the legislature, local governments, tribal governments, and federal partners while protecting our state’s rights?
Government mirrors our collective consciousness, speech and behavior. Our government and society have devolved, due to persistent and excessive stress and incoherence. Increasing coherence, and reducing stress, can reverse this trend.
I will ensure that county election offices offer complete and accurate information about elections. As of May 24, 2026, most county election offices in Colorado are not informing unaffiliated voters and major party members about how they can vote a Unity Party ballot, even though almost 53% of voters are unaffiliated.
I will work with the citizens, legislature, and tribal governments to make Colorado less dependent on politically motivated federal “partners”, by using affordable and effective solutions that have been ignored or obstructed by the two major political parties.
1st Amendment
What will you do as Colorado Governor to protect our citizens’ First Amendment rights to the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, peaceably assembly, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances?
As the author and chief proponent of several ballot initiatives, I would continue to support petitioning the government for a redress of grievances as a vital tool of direct democracy. For decades, voters have been fed up with lying by politicians, the news media, corporations, and talking heads on every media platform. That’s why, 25 years ago, I drafted a ballot initiative concept to increase truth in political campaigning, news and public relations, while not limiting freedom of speech.
Increasing coherence and reducing stress is a valuable part of improving mental health and brain function so that truth is more easily discerned and spoken, and ethical behavior and respect towards others’ religious freedom and peaceful gatherings regain value and thrive.
2nd Amendment
Do you believe that gun ownership is a civil right, and what is your position regarding restrictions on lawful gun owners such as laws making freedoms more difficult to exercise and making concealed carry permits more difficult to obtain?
prefer solutions, not positions. Arguments over second amendment rights to bear arms are driven by politicians who use them to plead for votes and campaign donations, and by gun manufacturers. The urgent and critical question is, “how did our society become so disrespectful of life?”. More children are murdered by their own parents in the U.S., without using guns, than by assault weapons in schools.
For decades, it has been demonstrated that when individual stress, and collective stress and incoherence of a community, is decreased, violence of all kinds also decreases. Individual and society-wide methods of achieving this are readily available and affordable. The two major political parties don’t want to solve the gun violence problem. The voters can!
Executive Management
How would you manage state agencies, select key appointees, and use executive authority—including executive orders and emergency powers—to ensure effective, accountable governance? Under what limits, if any, should those powers operate, and which existing orders would you repeal or substantially change?
I would popularize the principle of coherence everywhere in state government. Executive authority would be used, within legal limits, primarily to prevent and solve major problems when the legislature fails to do so because of political posturing. I would not change existing orders, but would add “organic”, “coherence” and “stress reduction” to Executive Order D 2026 004 – Enhancing Colorado Access to Healthy Choices.
For instance, existing technology can reduce the invisible irritant of incoherent electromagnetic fields which affect all state employees. Coherent electromagnetic fields enhance co-worker harmony, productivity, and health.
Key appointees would be selected who embrace the theme of my administration to optimize public gain, and not political gain, by using the most affordable and effective solutions.
Crime and Public Safety
What strategies would you pursue to address crime in Colorado, including issues such as cybercrime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking; how would you coordinate efforts and balance enforcement with prevention, civil liberties, and community safety?
Crime and public safety are areas in which increasing coherence and reducing stress on an individual level and societal level have been most thoroughly proven. I’ve been involved in such programs over the last 50 years. The Quiet Time program at Fletcher-Johson School in SE Washington D.C. stopped frequent student murders.
The Enlightened Sentencing Program in St. Louis received wide praise from judges for remarkable decreases in crime and recidivism. Reducing air pollution and electromagnetic pollution are vital because they harm brain health in ways that lead to crime and poor judgement.
These proven solutions aren’t driven by political and financial motives. Applying various coherence-based solutions will reduce all forms of crime while protecting civil liberties and ensuring community safety.
Protecting the Most Vulnerable
If elected, how will you seek to protect the lives of the most vulnerable in our community, including the unborn, victims of trafficking and abuse, senior citizens, and those experiencing mental illness?
Increasing society-wide coherence and reducing stress is essential for protecting these populations who are most vulnerable to mental and physical damage from pollution, abuse, and stress. Reducing pollution and stress is the easiest, quickest, and most affordable first step.
“A rising tide lifts all boats”. That’s the effect of creating coherence, reducing pollution, and reducing societal stress on a statewide scale. As that is being achieved and monitored, more opportunities will emerge to protect vulnerable populations.
Validation of this approach has withstood rigorous scientific scrutiny. The reason it hasn’t been used in government policy is because the two major political parties depend on, and exploit, the continuation of problems and suffering to maintain their control over government and the People.
Education
How would your administration work to improve educational outcomes in Colorado, and what role do you believe the Governor should play regarding parental involvement, school choice, and local control?
My administration will implement society-wide and school-specific solutions that greatly reduce invisible irritants such as air pollution and electromagnetic pollution. These irritants cause stress and incoherence, which compromise physical and mental health, safety and educational outcomes. As governor, I would also help school districts develop new revenue streams so they can wean themselves from income derived from addictive junk food and beverages, which also reduce student outcomes.
Excessive stress is the root cause of poor academic performance, substance abuse, violence, suicide and dropping out of school. Reducing stress and incoherence for students are the most cost-effective ways to improve student life and educational outcomes. Parents paying taxes to support compulsory education deserve to have input and school choice.
Constitutional Compatibility
Many Christians are concerned about ideologies that place the state, the collective, or religious law above individual liberty and limited constitutional government. Do you believe socialism, communism, or political movements seeking to impose religious law — including Islamic Sharia law — are compatible with America’s constitutional representative democracy? Why or why not?
All of these systems are potentially compatible, but also potentially corruptible and abused. At their root are beliefs and concepts processed in the human brain. That’s the seat of social behavior, reasoning, memory, emotional regulation, moral reasoning and conscience, judgment, ethics, fairness, truth, discernment, empathy, comprehension of the effects of ones’ actions, etc.
These higher functions depend on brain health. When stress and incoherence become pervasive, then these functions weaken, and the aim to dominate becomes threatening. Consequently, disagreements between and within these systems create conflicts and confusion, even within Christianity and America’s democracy.
Decreasing societal stress and increasing coherence will allow these systems to more harmoniously coexist. They’ll be less imposing and more compatible with America’s constitutional representative democracy.

Christian voting
Voting is a simple, yet significant way to do something about public policy in our country. As people of faith, we will be held accountable for our actions, as well as our lack of action. (Luke 12:48)
Biblical worldview
By diligently learning, applying, and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives, we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of our culture’s non-biblical ideas.
Vote your values
The issues of the day change. Political parties and platforms change. God’s Word never changes. The vote of every Christian should be based on the principles of Scripture and not persuasive personalities.
Electing righteous leaders
Bad governance and our loss of freedom is the direct result of the church’s failure to disciple. When the citizenry do not seek to be obedient to God’s Law, they vote in wicked and corrupt candidates, who then trample underfoot the God-given liberties of the people.
