CSAM Reports Every Month

3 YRS

Statute of Limitations

Colorado's civil statute of limitations for survivors is only 3 years. Many victims don't come forward until years later—only to find that justice has already been denied.

UNDER INVESTIGATION

Children's Hospital Colorado

Children's Hospital Colorado is under investigation for performing transgender-related procedures on minors without parental knowledge or consent. Our institutions are failing to protect children.

Colorado's Children Deserve a Governor Who Will Fight For Them

For years, political leaders have looked the other way while abuse rose, reporting collapsed, and predators slipped through cracks in the law. Families feel unprotected. Parents feel ignored. Children feel alone.

Scott Bottoms refuses to accept a Colorado where predators walk free, parental authority is undermined, and children are exposed to irreversible medical decisions before they can understand them.

A Real Plan for Real Protection

Scott Bottoms' Plan to Reclaim Colorado

Bold action. No more excuses. No more looking the other way.

Reclaim Parental Authority

Parents—not bureaucrats—make decisions about their children. Scott will work to restore parental rights at every level of education, healthcare, and state oversight.

Ban Transgender Surgeries for Minors

Scott will advance legislation prohibiting irreversible surgeries and medical interventions for minors. Colorado must protect children from interventions they cannot fully consent to.

Governor's Child-Safety Hotline

Every minor in Colorado will have a direct, confidential line to the Governor's Office to report grooming, coercion, or sexual misconduct—from anyone, anywhere.

Crack Down on Predators

No exceptions. No excuses. Scott will push to end policies that allow repeat offenders to avoid serious penalties. Sentencing must be consistent, severe, and protective of the victim—always.
