My name is Max Tyler, and I was elected in May to complete Gwyn Green's term to represent the families of House District 23 which includes Golden, Applewood and North Central Lakewood. I've lived in the district for over 20 years and my son went to JeffCo schools.

My top priorities in these tough times are job creation and balancing the state budget without going into debt while still providing the core services of government.

I’ve worked on economic issues for many years now – including serving on the small business advisory committees for former Governor Romer and Mayor Peña. As the founder of three successful businesses, I know how difficult it is to balance a budget in challenging economic times. It takes more than a balance sheet – it takes bringing people together, listening, and laying the groundwork for a new era of opportunity.

For me, that means having the courage to tackle the long-standing obstacles to economic growth, including health care, education, and energy independence. I've raised a family in JeffCo, had a career here, and I am now working to represent you at the State Capitol.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my web site. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent, please feel free to contact me with your comments, ideas or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you as I begin my first session in the State Legislature.
