Vote NO. It's up to us to stop this. We need to protect our environment and our neighborhoods, continue to make Lakewood more affordable, and firmly reject those who only care about their bottom line, not our communities. Join me and vote no on all four ballot measures by April 7th.

Finally, a pathway was created to turn old, unusable commercial space into affordable housing. These ballot measures would remove that pathway. Again, this isn't for any good reason; it's simply to drive Lakewood prices higher.(5/6)

Similarly, our zoning codes protect our neighborhoods. Setting maximum size limits for new construction conserves the character of our neighborhoods by preventing huge builds that don't fit in. Keeping new construction reasonably sized also means it is more likely to be reasonably priced.(4/6)

Thanks to our City Councilmembers, Lakewood has environmental protection standards to help conserve open space, water, and wildlife. Access to the environment in our open spaces isn't just nice to have; it's direct access to Colorado's greatest asset, and now we must protect that access.(3/6)

Lakewood is under attack by dark money interests. This special election is an attempt to repeal the good work that Lakewood City Council has done. Now it's up to the voters, so vote no (NO) and spread the word.(2/6)

If you live in Lakewood, you likely received a ballot in the mail this week. There are only four questions, but they are important! Vote no (NO) on all four ballot measures to protect Lakewood neighborhoods, environmental standards, and affordable housing.(1/6)

Colorado joined the fight to stop Trump’s illegal tariffs and won. Governor Jared Polis and Attorney General Phil Weiser helped lead the legal challenge to protect families and small businesses. Today, the Supreme Court struck those tariffs down. A big win for Colorado and the rule of law.

Our statement on today's killing in Minneapolis
A statement from Colorado Democratic Party Chair Shad Murib that reads:

Today’s killing in Minneapolis should anger every American.

This isn’t just about bad training, this chaos is what Trump wants: armed, masked and unaccountable paramilitary of thugs who roam our neighborhoods, tear families apart and kill people in broad daylight with no consequence.

This madness can happen in Colorado, and because spineless, weak Republicans in Congress just handed ICE a blank check, it very well might. 

The Senate must do everything it can to stop this reckless bill, Kristi Noem needs to resign and states must begin preparation to keep residents safe from ICE and fight disinformation from the Trump administration.

How many more people have to die before this ends?
