Testimonials
When you own a product, you should be able to repair it yourself. That’s why I included support for the “right to repair” in my Executive Order.
Responsible regulation such as “right to repair” can enhance consumer choice while at the same time people are educated in just how vast are the benefits of allowing innovation and freedom in the economy.

“Both Republicans and Democrats are pursuing laws to make it easier for people to fix cellphones, cars, even hospital ventilators. In Europe, the movement is further along.”
If you are a Colorado resident, the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition is looking for stories about problems with wheelchairs and other DME (durable medical equipment) and volunteers to help.
