"We have a state in Colorado where not everyone can get an education who wants to," Gibson said. "That's an illness. It needs to be diagnosed. It needs to be cured."
He says the way to fix Colorado's situation is to bring the student interest into the view of voters and looking past partisan politics to find a solution that makes sense -- something he said will be difficult for Colorado's polarized voters.
"Colorado is a state of extremes," he said. "You've got Colorado Springs. You've got Boulder. And Denver is right in between." Gibson said people view him as conservative, but he doesn't see himself as affiliated with either end of the political spectrum.
"A lot of my friends tell you I lean right," he said. "(But) I lean toward what makes sense."
With two years of school left before he graduates from CSU, Gibson looks forward to starting a career as a doctor, but hopes to continue his involvement in politics in some capacity.
