Emotional strength was the foundation of Lincoln’s political genius, as he fought for what he knew was right in the face of extreme adversity. In an arduous political environment, our new State Senator Dylan Roberts is quickly and confidently proving his character, up to the challenge of listening and leading his constituents across our region – even when that means standing his ground in opposition to party-line politics.

Born in Steamboat Springs and residing in Avon with his family, Sen. Roberts is a product of and true advocate for the mountain communities he calls home. A housing champion for our mountain communities, he understands the absolute and undeniable need for more housing units to meet workforce and family needs and help protect our economic future.

Chair of the 2021 Affordable Housing Task Force, he is also the sponsor of Senate Bill 1, a bill that would provide $13 million to support public-private partnerships seeking to build affordable housing on state-owned land. He understands that government restrictions can hurt both available and future housing. We believe he will act in the best interest of his constituents when opposing a bill (HB-1115) that would allow local governments, instead of property owners, to set rent prices, and will continue to work with various stakeholders on bills that will impact housing.

As industry representatives working with thousands of real estate professionals on behalf of all Colorado residents, we share our gratitude and appreciation for the transparency, accessibility and thoughtful, informed decision making shown by our State Senator, Dylan Roberts.
