In his campaign announcement, Joshi highlighted his immigrant background and conservative record. “I arrived in America legally and with nothing but a suitcase and $100. Through hard work and deep appreciation for our country, I found the American dream. In the state legislature, I fought toe-to-toe against his radical ideals and drew a line in the sand between him and the constituents that sent me to Denver.”

Joshi served as a physician for 30 years before entering politics. He represented his district in the Colorado House of Representatives, where he built a reputation as a fiscal conservative, opposing tax increases and government spending on projects he deemed excessive.

Recalling his time in office, Joshi stated, “I never voted for a tax, fee, or spending increase. I never voted for his wasteful pet projects thrown onto the shoulders of the Colorado taxpayer. It’s time to send Hickenlooper packing - and I’m the candidate to get the job done.”

He emphasized his commitment to upholding conservative values and protecting law and order. “This country gave me and my family the opportunity to find the American dream. I have led a life of conviction to serve others, uphold the rule of law, and defend Colorado’s values. That’s exactly what I’ll do in the United States Senate.”

Joshi’s campaign is expected to focus on economic growth, limited government, and support for traditional values.
