Community
Janice's involvement in her community began in the early 1980s with an incredible mentorship from her former boss of more than 20 years, the late Jim Robb, who served as Mesa County's State Representative from District 54. Janice learned firsthand how incredibly important consistent and steady leadership is for our community.

A consistent, strong voice for the Western Slope.
It has been the honor of my life to represent Western Colorado as a State Representative for HD55 and now as a State Senator for SD7. I believe my experience in the private sector, my experience working in local government, and now my experience in the Colorado General Assembly have prepared me to be a consistent, strong voice in the Colorado General Assembly as your Colorado State Senator.
We value the exceptional life we have in Western Colorado. As your State Senator, I will continue to work hard to represent you, defend our Western Slope values and principles, and protect what's important to all of us — this place we call home.
