A bold voice for Colorado families. Fighting for quality education, accessible healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.
A proven leader ready to serve House District 54.
Mallory Martin grew up in Colorado as the daughter of a construction worker and a teacher, and she learned early that hard work deserves respect—and a fair shot. As a long-time resident of House District 54, she's seen what rural families are up against: rising costs, limited access to healthcare, and a government that too often ignores the people it's supposed to serve.
With a background in healthcare and community advocacy, Mallory has spent her career fighting for real solutions that help everyday families—not the special interests. She believes in common-sense policies that protect access to care, support local workers, and strengthen rural communities from the inside out.
Mallory knows rural Colorado deserves leaders who understand our way of life. She's ready to be a strong, independent voice for HD 54 in the state legislature—one that listens to the people, fights for our values, and keeps Colorado's small towns thriving.
"I'm not here to play politics. I'm here to fight for our towns."
Franklin Roosevelt told the American people, "A government by organized money is just as dangerous as a government by organized mob." He knew government's job is to stand beside its people, not above them, and that's the tradition I run in.
No one is above the Constitution: not the powerful, not the well connected, not the leaders we elect. Accountability is the price of a government that belongs to working class and fixed income families, not just the well off.
Roosevelt stood with working families when the odds were stacked against them, and that's the government I believe in still. When corporations put profit ahead of people, working class and fixed income families pay the price first, and we stand with them, not the interests that forget they exist.
I've run a small business inside Colorado's Medicaid system for eight years, and I know how a regulation written in Denver lands on a kitchen table in Palisade. I back practical rules such as job training, safe roads, and public safety that lift up small businesses and working families, not red tape only big corporations can afford.
Prices are rising and families in HD 54 are feeling the squeeze while corporations post record profits off the backs of the same people struggling to pay their bills. Now some want to bring in massive data centers that will drive up our utility bills and drain our water to power someone else's server farm, while working families are told to tighten their belts again. I'll fight to lower the cost of housing, utilities, and everyday essentials, and I'll stand up to companies that raise prices unfairly while backing the local businesses and workers who actually build this district, because the middle class has carried this economy long enough without getting its share back.
Healthcare is a basic need, not a luxury, and no family on a fixed income should have to choose between it and rent while insurance executives and hospital chains post record margins. I'll work to keep rural clinics and hospitals open so people can get care close to home, without driving hours or paying prices set by someone who's never set foot in HD 54 and has never had to choose between a prescription and a light bill.
No one is above the Constitution, not the powerful, not the well connected, not the leaders we elect, and not the corporations that fund them. That includes the Second Amendment. I'm a gun owner, and I'll defend that right the same way I defend the rest of the Constitution: as something that belongs to the people. I support fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power, and I reject anyone who tries to overturn results, excuse political violence, or put themselves above the law our democracy depends on. That also means rejecting surveillance systems like Flock cameras that track working families' movements while the powerful answer to no one. A government that watches its own people is not a government that trusts them, and it is certainly not one that serves them.
Every kid in HD 54 deserves a real shot at a good job and a strong future, not an education system built to funnel the wealthy up while everyone else is left to figure it out on their own. I support strong public schools, career training, and apprenticeships that connect students to local jobs, along with real funding for teachers, preschool, and college, because a working family's kid deserves the same shot as anyone else’s.
