Representative Max Brooks Champions Public Safety with SB25-047

Representative Max Brooks has proudly signed on as a sponsor of SB25-047, a bill that seeks to strengthen Colorado’s laws by ensuring clear and enforceable penalties for criminal activity. This legislation aligns directly with Rep. Brooks’ commitment to protecting Colorado communities and addressing issues tied to illegal migration.

SB25-047 proposes enhanced penalties for crimes involving organized theft, human trafficking, and property destruction - issues that are increasingly linked to illegal migrants and organized criminal networks. The bill seeks to close gaps in current law, giving law enforcement the tools they need to deter and combat these activities. Rep. Brooks believes this measure is critical to safeguarding communities in Castle Rock, the surrounding areas, and across Colorado.

“This legislation is about protecting our citizens and ensuring justice for those impacted by criminal acts,” said Rep. Brooks. “Illegal migrants participating in organized criminal activity undermine public safety and erode trust in our legal system. SB25-047 sends a clear message that Colorado will not tolerate lawlessness.”

The bill also addresses concerns raised by local law enforcement and community members, who have voiced frustration over the challenges of prosecuting complex crimes often linked to organized networks. By tightening penalties and streamlining legal procedures, SB25-047 will enhance Colorado’s ability to address these threats effectively.

Rep. Brooks’ sponsorship of this bill aligns with his support for President Trump’s immigration priorities. He has long championed policies that strengthen the rule of law, secure the border, and prioritize the safety of Colorado residents. By advocating for stronger enforcement mechanisms and greater collaboration between state and local agencies, Brooks emphasizes the importance of addressing the influx of illegal migrants and its impact on public safety, resources, and community well-being.

“This isn’t about demonizing individuals; it’s about ensuring that every person, whether a lifelong or new legal citizen to our state, can live in safety and security. We must hold those who violate our laws accountable while upholding justice and protecting the freedoms of those who contribute positively to our communities,” Brooks stated.

As SB25-047 moves through the legislative process, Rep. Brooks is working closely with his colleagues to gather bipartisan support for this critical initiative. He urges constituents to stay informed and engaged, emphasizing the importance of public participation in shaping policies that affect the state’s future.

“The people of Colorado deserve to feel safe in their homes, workplaces, and communities,” Rep. Brooks said. “I will continue to fight for legislation that upholds our values, protects our citizens, and holds criminals accountable.”

After SB25-003 Passed, One Constitutional Move Was Left - And It Was Ignored

Image
Last Friday, the Colorado Senate passed SB25-003 , the so-called “Semiautomatic Firearms & Rapid-Fire Devices” bill, as amended by the House – and with that vote, the legislation is now on its way to the Governor’s desk. It’s a deeply flawed and constitutionally questionable bill that infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, and I want to take a moment to explain just how hard Republicans fought this – and why our work is not done. When this bill came to the House floor, Republicans from all over the state stood together in a unified, tireless effort to defeat it. We brought forward dozens of thoughtful, reasonable, and constitutional amendments in good faith. We stayed on the floor until late in the evening, debating this bill with everything we had. I’ve never been prouder to stand beside my colleagues in defense of the Constitution, public safety, and the rights of law-abiding Coloradans. But after more than 13 hours of floor debate and every amendment ...

Why I Supported Home Rule - and Why the Fight for Local Control Isn’t Over

Image
When I first ran for office, I made a promise to represent the people of Douglas County with clarity, courage, and a fierce commitment to preserving what makes our community exceptional. That commitment led me to become a vocal supporter of the Douglas County Home Rule Charter. This initiative was never about rebellion. It was about resilience. Each legislative session at the State Capitol brings a new round of policies that pull authority away from local communities and concentrate it in Denver under the gold dome. From statewide zoning mandates that strip your elected county commissioners of land use authority, to top-down education reforms that disregard the values of local families, we are watching the slow but deliberate erosion of local control. Home Rule offered Douglas County the opportunity to push back intelligently, constitutionally, and proactively. Let me be clear: Home Rule is not a silver bullet. It doesn't give a county the power to defy state law or rewrite the Con...

The Majority’s Manipulation: How HB25-1133 Was Forced Through Committee

House Bill 25-1133 - a bill that prohibits the sale of ammunition to anyone under the age of 21 - should have died in the Business Affairs & Labor Committee. The votes were there to stop it. The arguments against it were clear and compelling. Yet, in a blatant act of political manipulation, the majority party ensured its passage by swapping out a "no" vote from their party for a member who had already signaled she would vote “yes.” When faced with losing a bill deemed “important” because its primary sponsor holds a leadership position in the majority party, they simply changed the committee’s makeup to guarantee the outcome they wanted. This is not how representative government should function. The bill itself is a direct infringement on the Constitutional rights of 18-20-year-old citizens. During the hearing, supporters argued that younger citizens could stand not exercising their rights in this instance. But that’s not how rights work. An 18-year-old can vote, enter in...
