Colorado’s Public Employees’ Retirement Association (PERA) disburses around $5 billion in benefits every year!
And with nearly 400,000 Coloradans relying on PERA for their retirement, it’s an important program that the State Legislature works to maintain.
Senator Pelton wants PERA members to know how their retirement money is being invested, and how it’s being spent.
That’s why he is working on a new bill for the 2025 Legislative Session to provide more transparency for PERA members.
Not only that, but Senator Pelton, a former County Commissioner, has been a voice in defense of local control of land use policies, and a supporter of Colorado agriculture.
In this video, Senator Pelton provides insight into the State Legislature, explains his attempts to limit the growth and size of government, and shares his thoughts on what’s to come in 2025.
