He has served as the chair of the legislative committee of the Colorado State Association of Health Underwriters.[5] In the early 1980s, Swalm began writing op-ed pieces opposing government transportation subsidies and joined the Independence Institute, a Colorado free-market think tank, eventually becoming a senior fellow.[4] He opposed the 2004 tax measure funding the FasTracks light rail expansion.[6] He has also served on the board of the Colorado Council on Economic Education. Politically, Swalm has been a member of the Colorado Republican Business Coalition, the Centennial Republican Forum, the Arapahoe County Republican Men's Club, and was treasurer for the Sixth Congressional District Republican Committee.[4] Swalm is married; he and his wife, Marleen, have three children:[3] Byron, Lauren, and Jocelyn.[7] Swalm has taught Sunday school and served on the missions committee of his church, Grace Chapel, and has taken several missionary trips to the Amazon Basin in Bolivia.[5] Political career2006 electionSwalm won election to Colorado's 37th House District in 2006.

He plans on submitting legislation to extend the program to all sex offenders in future sessions.[14] Swalm also sponsored successful legislation designed to encourage Coloradans to purchase long term care insurance rather than relying on Medicaid, allowing Coloradans to participate in a federal long term care partnership program.[15] Between legislative sessions, Swalm served on the interim Health Care Task Force[16] and on the Transportation Legislation Review Committee.[17] 2008 legislative sessionFor the 2008 legislative session, Swalm plans to sponsor a measure that would create a special pass to offset state park maintenance costs.[18][19] As part of a set of Republican health care proposals, Swalm will sponsor legislation to create a low-cost state health insurance plan and to encourage tax breaks for individual health insurance.[20] He has also, working with Democratic Rep. Morgan Carroll, introduced legislation to extend a fund to provide financial assistance to military families.[21][22] The bill was passed by the legislature and signed into the law by Gov. Bill Ritter.[23] Swalm also introduced legislation to create the "Colorado Health Plan," a low-cost health insurance program to be run by the state,[24] but the proposal was killed in committee.[25] Democratic House Speaker Andrew Romanoff has expressed interest in reviving the bill.[26] Swalm also reintroduced his bill to require sex offenders to register their email addresses, which was again killed in committee.[27] 2008 electionBecause of the closeness of Swalm's 2006 election in a traditionally Republican district, Democrats targeted Swalm's re-election bid in 2008. Swalm faces Diana Holland, a Democrat and Littleton School Board member,[28] and Constitution Party candidate Brian Olds in the November general election. Swalm's re-election bid was endorsed by the Denver Post.[29] He ultimately won with 51 percent of the popular vote, nearly 2000 votes ahead of Holland.[30] 2009 legislative sessionFor the 2009 legislative session, Swalm was named to seats on the House Finance Committee and the House Health and Human Services Committee.[31] Representative Swalm worked with centrist Democratic Representative Sara Gagliardi to promote a bipartisan measure lowering the age limit for blood donations to 16.[32] 2011 legislative sessionRepresentative Swalm returned to the House Committee on Finance. He was also appointed as vice-chair of the newly renamed Economic & Business Development Committee. 2012 electionIn the 2012 General Election, Representative Swalm faced Democratic challenger Jan Spooner. Swalm was elected by a margin of 53% to 44% with third party candidates garnering the remainder of the vote.[33][34] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://comaps.org/district37h.html |title=State House District 37 |accessdate=2007-12-24 |work=COMaps |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080304221342/http://www.comaps.org/district37h.html |archivedate=2008-03-04 |df= }} 2. ^Ballotpedia.
