| Info | Mark Matthews has spent a lifetime caring for his neighbors, and he wants to continue that service as your representative for Colorado House District 64.
Mark’s medical career began in the public health service, where he served as a commissioned officer and helped patients with ailments such as diabetes and heart disease. Many of the people under Mark’s care were uninsured, and the experience underscored for him the importance of healthcare for all.
During his four decades as a physician, Mark treated thousands of patients of all backgrounds in Colorado and elsewhere. One of his greatest satisfactions was partnering with patients to make healthcare decisions free of excessive outside interference – particularly concerning reproductive health and care for the LGBTQ+ community.
After Mark hung up his stethoscope, he retired to a small farm in Mead with his wife Ellyn and together they raise chickens, goats and vegetables. The couple, who got married in 1978, often donate their surplus harvest to the Weld Food Bank.
Still, the call to public service remained strong, and so Mark decided to run as a common sense candidate for House District 64.
One reason Mark is running is to give back.
When Mark’s father returned from WWII he found a job as a lineman with a power company that provided good wages and benefits for his large family because he was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). Mark’s mother was the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants who risked everything to come to America to give their children a better life.
Second, Mark wants to ensure the freedoms and opportunities he grew up with are available for future generations – including his four children and six grandchildren.
Mark is concerned about gun violence and its impact on public health. He believes evidence-based, common sense legislation is needed to address these threats to the safety and well-being of his fellow Coloradans.
He also understands the importance of education. This is why he is so keen to ensure that all children in Colorado have a high-quality education and opportunities regardless of their zip code.
As the next representative for House District 64, Mark will bring a voice of reason and compassion to Weld and Larimer counties.
