Sometimes democracy looks like a zoom meeting.

That's a wrap on the CD4 convention and assembly. Congrats to the candidates, we are grateful to have such engagement this cycle. Trisha Calvarese for Colorado John Padora for Congress (CO-4) and Karen Breslin thank you for your commitment to our community.

This morning's Douglas County Democrats caucus featured such a powerful slate of candidates. Candidates ready and capable to flip Co House, Senate, Commissioner and Congressional seats blue. Let's get this done!

TENTH & ELEVENTH solo Town Halls (but who's counting?). March 3 (SUN) & 6 (WED). HR Library. Yes, not much notice. But things move fast during session. So if HR constituents want to provide or receive feedback beyond simply sending an email, here's a good opportunity.

Happy Saturday all! What a pleasure to end this one with #DenverNAACP at their Freedom Fund Gala. Congrats to their president Sondra Young on bringing this beautiful evening together.

Executive Order 9066 was an unconstitutional policy born out of prejudice that led to the unjust internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

On this Day of Remembrance, we reaffirm our commitment to fighting against hate in all its forms and protecting civil rights for all.

Today at History Colorado we came together for Day of Rememberance. This year's program focused on those families, like mine, who with 72hrs notice fled their homes to avoid being placed in US internment camps. We must never forget and instead vigilantly stand against racism.

Majority Leader Monica Duran & Rep. Rep Meg Froelich's wage theft prevention bill just passed the House Business Affairs & Labor Committee 🎉🎉

This #BlackHistoryMonth , let’s commit to fighting back against extremist Republican attacks on our kids’ education.

This evening was spent at a rally in support of students fighting against racism in DougCo schools. Those who deny the reality of this and other racism in our society are actively harming all of us. Douglas County Democrats

Tonight's gathering in support of students and families was an important one. We need to leave it better than we found it and make sure we fix Dougco schools for current and future students.

I’ll be speaking about the nature and threat of Christian nationalism next Friday down in Woodland Park. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you.
