I guess I should share here too that I have passed the bar exam. Thanks much to the legal community here and on Twitter that mentored me!

I have a guest column in the Brighton Standard Blade, Westminster Window, and other local papers this week on BroncosRide and RTD’s continued failure to deliver for the north Front Range. We need to ask for more and fight to protect routes like the RX. Link in the comments.

Today marks five months to the general election. I’m proud to be able to announce another wave of endorsements, from leaders all over Colorado’s front range that know it’s time for change at RTD. Thank you to the 60+ people and organizations that believe in an RTD that works for everyone.

I really appreciate that both the major candidates are taking commerce city seriously this round. Certain other leaders wrote us of in the past and it means a lot to see a better set of dems doing better.

Now that the Rockies are going to be good, we need RTD to be good so you can get to the game (and safely home after a 9-9-9)!! Learn about my plan to bring back RockiesRide: michaelforrtd.com/issues

Proud to share that I have been recognized by @momsdemandaction.org as a Gun Sense Candidate! We need to make the safety of our communities a priority and I am proud to be recognized for that shared value.

Great day for RTD: we have Jarrett Walker joining us and Debra Johnson leaving! There is hope ahead for the agency.

I couldn't be prouder to be one of many voices in supporting this vital legislation to make housing easier to build. Lots of folks say they want to build affordable housing--I mean it. Fun fact: the HOME Act allows RTD to build more housing... Wonder if anyone is running on doing just that?

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Excited to announce I’ve earned the endorsement of my state senator and former state rep Sen. Benavidez!

it's living in a place where missing one bus/train means missing 30m-1hr of work and losing your job or missing a whole medical appointment. frequent transit gives you not just mere convenience, but necessary flexibility to better secure your access to basic needs and opportunities

Proud to have the support of dozens of elected officials from across the front range from local leadership to statewide elected officials! We’ve tried the GOP leaders: we have an unfinished train, less service, and a budget crisis. Let's build an RTD that works for everyone with someone new.

This isn't the kind of thing that gets flashy headlines but it's an important part of making the agency actually work better: Denver RTD moves Transit Police Public Safety dispatchers back into original Security Command Center h/t to Michelle Lawrence for leading this important streamlining!

Praying for her family tonight. Hug your loved ones a little tighter.

Faith Winter was a fighter. She believed in a bigger idea for Colorado and fought for it. I saw her buck systems for years and fight for what she believed in--she refused to see tabor as an insurmountable obstacle and found ways around it, to build a better Colorado. She was also so proud of her kids, and wanted to leave them a better world. I am truly heartbroken at her loss, my prayers go out to her family and loved ones tonight.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to our Fall Fundraiser this weekend! We showed, once again, that there is a community of advocates and people who want to see RTD work for the people again. Thank you all for your support, together we'll make an RTD that works for everyone!

Thank you, veterans, today on Veterans Day and every day. As the son, grandson, and great-grandson of veterans, I’m deeply grateful for their service. Their dedication to the values our nation stands for, including freedom, opportunity, and a better world, have shaped who I am.

This might actually be a good thing… “light trucks” are incentivized by our tax code and they kill tons of pedestrians. The return of smaller cars would be good

The problem with Rumble, Gab, Mastodon, and now Bluesky is that when you define yourself by opposing a useful—if flawed—tool’s misuse, you end up with a no-true-Scotsman purity culture that regular users find deeply off-putting. Push back, and you lose the loyal purity-testing ones too.

We need more housing so our grandparents can stay in our communities as they age! "Today’s affordability crisis can be traced to a number of factors, including . . . the Great Recession, rising construction costs and restrictive zoning policies that make it hard to build large numbers of units."

News: Aging in Colorado
As Colorado ages, seniors are colliding with the housing crisis
Most older residents want to age in place. But experts say Colorado’s housing stock wasn’t built with their needs in mind.

This is actually a very good sign. Dems willing to loudly fight for our values are much more useful to the party than Dems (like our governor) who put up only tepid private hesitance while trying to placate the President's irrational whims.

I realized I could make more impact on more lives by getting this done locally than nationally. Showing up is 9/10s of the game in local politics. Now, if you live in Colorado, odds are your city council is mad at my housing work.

This app man. I need bluesky posters to stop being HOA presidents. If you want regular people to agree with you, do not criticize the way they are agreeing with you because it is insufficiently aligned with the "proper" language. This app is fun because it's like opening a 2020 time capsule

Gov. Polis is telling communities that if they don’t want to play ball, they don’t get money from the state for other priorities. Voters are worried about the housing crisis, and the communities that don’t think it’s worth fixing don’t need our money then. Thank you @govofco.bsky.social !

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

One of the things I worry about is that small towns often feel bullied by cities and complain that no one wants to move to them, or complain about under service (food- healthcare- legal-deserts) but they consistently fail to fund schools and other essential services. What's the end game of this?

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

Yeah, this shouldn't be surprising. Coloradans are facing enough pressure from rising costs in all areas, a 1% fee on their insurance to make big business happy isn't a solution. Good on the state leg here.
