The Lakewood zoning referendum passed, which means the new zoning code will be repealed. Another NIMBY win. Ugh.

State Assembly is complete. Next up: Primary Election, Precinct Organizing and (possibly) running for my House District Secretary position.

Julie got 74%!! Weiser got 90 something percent. Seligman got 42% Griswold 43%. Titone and Mikos didn't qualify. Amanda Gonzales was in the 60 percentile. Slopper time.

Maybe one day I'll be able to go to a city council ward meeting and actually be able to enjoy it. I just wanted to learn about the new parks, but the Boomer Bullies wanted to spread lies about the zoning campaign. It's like high school mean girl energy from 65 year olds. 🙄

Make Lakewood Livable has out-raised their anti-zoning opponents 5:1!!! Ballots go out today! If you live or have friends in Lakewood tell them to vote NO to stop the appeal and keep the zoning overhaul that has taken years to accomplish!

I gave up on county assembly after 9.5 hours. My State Senate race is uncontested so I think ML Duran will be ok that I left to eat and lie flat on my floor for an indeterminate amount of time. NINE AND A HALF HOURS AND IT WAS STILL GOING! MOST OF OUR RACES ARE UNCONTESTED! 😵

The JeffCo Assembly might be my 13th reason today y'all I can't take this. It's so painful. 😫

Today's JeffCo Assembly just got easier! Hick abandoned us in the Senate by voting for DT nominees more than any other Dem and now he's abandoning the party process because he has money to buy petitioners. It's time for grandpa to retire. We need a strong fighter like Senadora Gonzales!

JeffCo Caucus was this morning. It was on zoom but my house district had an in person with some elected officials. We voted on precinct organizers and county delegates. I'm a county delegate! Next Saturday is JeffCo County Assembly where I'll run to be a delegate at the State Assembly in 2 weeks!

148 dead at the girls elementary school in Iran. Little girls and teachers are dead. And so our oath takers have to decide: do you continue participating in war crimes for a child rapist or do you go do something about it?

Today is one of those days that really sucks for wildfire survivors. Sending love to everyone feeling trauma triggered. Check on your loved ones in Thornton, there's a grass fire there right now. Hopefully fire crews get it under control soon but please heed evac warnings.

I went to the YIMBY Gubernatorial Debate today and my lord, @philweiser.bsky.social crushed it. Yes, I'm biased but even the Bennet leaning YIMBYs were saying Phil killed it. So Congrats yet again to AG Weiser, the Energizer Bunny of winning!

Congratulations to all of the AG's on their win today concerning tariffs at SCOTUS, especially CO AG @philweiser.bsky.social! THIS is the type of leadership we need as CO Governor and one of the many reasons I'm caucusing for Phil. Thanks AG Weiser! 🥳

Have you signed up to caucus? I signed up for the first time! I'll be going to caucus, then Jeffco Assembly and I'm going to run to be a state delegate to the State Assembly. JeffCo sends the 2nd most delegates, 179, to the State Assembly so hopefully I'll be one of them!

Community organizing meetings are back in full swing and I'm here to report that our charitable food systems helpers aren't any less pissed than before the holiday and they're ready to fight back. In Denver we believe food is a human right & deserves funding. Mayor Mike is about to learn who I am.

I was taught in freshman political science back in 2001 that we don't go to war with countries that have McDonald's ("Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention). Venezuela has McDonald's. Also doesn't Piggy have a lifetime contact with McDonald's? Looks like capitalism fails again.

SNAP nightmare is over, the trauma from it remains with helpers & the families affected. Please don't stop donating $, food & time to your local pantries, hunger is still at an all time high. We received this today when we picked up the pantry order. I wish I could share it with all of the helpers.

Polis' net worth is $300 million+ & he's asking us to drop off food to a mansion owned by the state. He may be unaware that his newsletter goes out to everyone, even SNAP recipients on his mailing list. He is unable to read a room because he's not in the room with us. He is completely out of touch.

“I liken it to extending a lease,” Crank said. “If you’re at the end of your lease and you still haven’t moved out, but your landlord says, ‘Well, I wouldn’t mind getting another month of rent,’ you extend the lease for a month. You don’t try and add things into the existing lease.”--Rep. Jeff Crank
