Who is Isaac Contreras

Isaac Contreras has lived in Colorado for only a year, but in that year he has fallen in love with both the people and the land. He has been shown immeasurable kindness by Coloradans and immeasurable beauty by Colorado. Both the people and the land deserve better.

Isaac Contreras is a man who sees in a better future for Colorado and America. A future where people can live happily next door to nature without many of the stressors in our current world. He sees that people across Colorado are over-worked, under-paid, over-stressed, and under-served. He sees that the land is enslaved to businesses that have no care in the world to what happens when it’s used up. Isaac is prepared to fight bare knuckle to pass the legislation needed to support the people and land of this wonderful state.

Isaac Contreras has studied and worked as a Mechanical Engineer, and is currently working towards a Master’s Physics degree at UCCS with the intent to pursue a PhD in Physics as well. As our state stands, too many of our legislatures are individuals with degrees in business and law, but there is an immense lack of degrees in the sciences, technologies, engineerings, and mathematics. With his education, Isaac will change the legislative landscape to change the state and the lives of the people for the better.

Priorities

Many of the problems plaguing Colorado do not exist in a vacuum. One problem in an industry affects other industries and one problem in a state affects other states. The problems are incredibly complex and most solutions will also be incredibly complex as well. However, Isaac will fight for those solutions.

  • Groceries have gotten unbelievably expensive. People need food, it is one of our basic necessities. Food should not be grown for excess profit. But who decides the price of our food? It’s not the farmer, and it’s not you. The people who decide how much we pay are the corporations that own the grocery stores and distributions. No one else, just them. Every year, the humans in suits who don’t care about you, and aren’t your neighbor, decide to increase the price of our food because they “need” growing sales year-over-year. This is outright bullshit. They should not be able to increase prices simply because they “feel” like it.
  • When a farmer sells their crop, it doesn’t get sold directly to the store. It gets sold to a distributor/whole-saler who then sells the crop to the company that owns the store. The farmers earn the least from the transaction where the distributor adds on fees to short-change the farmer while increasing their own profits. This is why farmers turn to renewable energy, because the food they sell isn’t enough to make ends meet. And then grocery company adds on their margins to make ever more profits. On top of that, some farmers are forced to sign exclusivity contracts where a distributor will pay a set amount of money for a set amount of food with a set quality. Anything that doesn’t meet that quality, is thrown away but it is still perfectly usable, edible, and saleable. Much of our food is thrown away before it even leaves that farm. Does some of it get used? Yes, as compost or feed for animals, but not all of it gets used. But, because farmers have signed a contract, the farmer is not always able to sell the food that doesn’t meet the quality, IT MUST BE THROWN AWAY.
  • I will also introduce legislation to create state run farms, distribution, and grocery stores. Why? Because the state will sell food at cost. Not extra fees, no extra margins, no extra bullshit. This legislation will not make privately owned grocery stores, farms, or distributors illegal, but will make it so that the People now have the choice to spend less on food. I will also introduce legislation to limit fees and margins and limit contract terms so that the price tag at the grocery store is lower and so that farmers can sell food locally that would otherwise be thrown away. Lastly, I will introduce legislature to end subsidies to large corporation grocery stores and create a subsidy program for far, far more local grocery stores.

  • Everyone needs healthcare to cure our ailments. And yet, people and businesses are scammed out of their hard earned money. Insurance companies deny necessary surgeries, deny necessary healthcare, and deny refunds on the money that we give them. Health insurance is scam. Nothing more than an industry that abuses us. Hospitals are too blame too. While hospitals are non-profits, they are still owned by suits that only care about their profits. So when you go the hospital and use insurance, they charge even more for the same services. Leaving you with higher co-pays or SOL.
  • Let us not forget that your health insurance is tied to where you work. You are tied to keeping your job because if you switch, you might/will lose your health insurance. This is bullshit. You should have the liberty of changing jobs when you want without the threat of losing your life-saving medicine or care.
  • On top of this, medicine companies use our taxes to fund their research then charge unbelievable prices for those medicines. If they’re using our taxes, they should not be able to own the medicine they make, it should be public knowledge.
  • I will introduce legislation to create a Guaranteed Healthcare system for Colorado. This healthcare system will make health insurance companies illegal and useless. This legislation will also make it so that you no longer have to pay out of pocket and no longer have to pay from your paycheck every month. You will have more money in your pocket, and businesses will no longer have insurance expenses which will increase their profits too. The system will be paid our current taxes. This legislation will also make so that any medicine research conducted with state/county/city funds will be owned by the people.

  • Much like food, shelter is another basic necessity for people. Housing is wrought with misuse and abuse. In 2025, 1 in 3 houses were bought by businesses for investment instead of for housing. Housing should not be an investment tool by suits to increase their wealth. Housing should be using for living. Apartments, like houses, are also used as business investments for profit. Every year, the companies that own the apartment increase rent to drive their “profits” and “value”. Nothing is created with this. The “value” is entirely imaginary because no goods are being produced. It’s simply profiteering off basic necessities. Your rent should not increase every year because, guess what, your income doesn’t increase every year. So little by little, you’re left with less and less income every year because your rent keeps going up.
  • We also face the problem that not only are businesses buying houses, but people buying a house simply to sit on it to accrue “value”. In some cases, wealthy individuals who want to own multiple homes simply to make themselves wealthier. No one is actually living in those homes, they sit empty and unused. Families could be living in those homes.
  • People who already own a home are sometimes forced to leave their home because of property taxes and fines/fees from HOAs. Because property taxes are based off “value” and not when a home is sold, people who are on disability, retirement, or have an income that hasn’t increased in years, are forced to sell because property taxes have gotten too high. This creates empty homes that get bought up as investment instead of for living because property taxes pale in comparison to the “value” profit. Why? Because the value of the home is now so high that new buyers who actually need a home can’t buy it either. It also makes it harder for you to commute to work because instead of being able to live down the street, you now have to live 30min, an hour, however further away. HOAs do nothing to the people who own homes except maintain a facade of “value”, making it so that you lack freedom on your own property.
  • I will introduce legislation to entirely change Housing to benefit the people. This legislation will make housing and real estate speculation illegal, so that no more will businesses hold on to houses and property as “value”. This legislation will make so that zoning will change to allow local necessary businesses to be built near homes, like grocery stores, dentists, clothing stores, but will limit their size you don’t have supermarkets with large parking lots taking up all the land. This legislation will make it so that ONLY individuals can own home and only 1 home, and will create pathways to owning apartments. This legislation will also make HOA’s illegal. There is far more to what I envision for this legislation, and it will absolutely take time to get it right the first time.

  • AI has nothing to offer humanity. AI does not increase productivity in the work place. AI does not provide information. AI has deluded companies into thinking that AI will increase profits even more and because of that AI has made Americans lose their jobs. Who will the companies sell to if Americans have no money to buy with? AI does not benefit us.
  • What does AI do? AI chugs our water. AI feasts on our electricity. AI uses and super heats our land. AI makes use dumber. AI spits meaningless paragraphs, all just to make our utilities more expensive. AI does not benefit us.
  • I will introduce legislation to make AI use by companies and state, county, and city governments illegal. This legislation will also make AI sales, as a service or tool, illegal. It won’t make individual use at home illegal and will still allow AI research. Maybe someday AI will benefit humanity, but today is not that day.

  • Data centers are necessary for stream services, normally called servers. But many of the data centers popping up across the USA are not for streaming. They are for collecting and harboring data that AI uses to create useless nothings. These HUGE data centers are absolutely disgusting. They are nothing more than giant space heaters intended to pollute the air we breath, water we drink, and destroy our ears.
  • Companies like Meta and Google also use these data centers to collect our personal data. Personal data like the things we watch, the things we buy, the things we don’t watch or buy to create a profile of who we are to be able show us ads, known as ad space. The data gets used with the “AI Algorithm” to keep us engaged as mindless money pits to sell even more ad space. To increase engagement. To increase their profits.
  • I will introduce legislation forcing companies that collect personal data to share the profits with the people they collect data from, and to make the collection of personal data opt-in exclusively and without road-blocks when a person wants to opt-out again. And, any company found to still be collecting data without consent will face fines equal to 200% of revenue for the past year or permanent ban from the state. I will also introduce legislation to limit the size of data centers, limit the amount of electricity and water they can use, and limit the hours of operation as well as create requirements for minimum number of employed people.
