Proud to earn the Sierra Club Colorado Chapter’s endorsement. I grew up in one of Colorado’s most polluted ZIP codes, so this is personal. Reliable transit cuts pollution, reduces traffic and gives families a real alternative to driving. Let’s build an RTD that delivers.

The Denver Post has published its candidate Q&A for RTD Board District K. I shared my plans for safer, more reliable service, responsible budgeting and stronger transit across the North Front Range. Read the candidates’ responses here: www.denverpost.com/2026/10/03/r...

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!

Exactly. I do not think that meeting with DSA would have hurt her per se, but filing in Dec definitely did.

When on one hand the city is telling us they cannot do anything to help support RTD and on the other spending money on advertising around climate I am skeptical

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.
A photo of said column. Too many words for alt text

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.

Post primary I would love to talk about my race to flip an RTD seat!

Well I don’t disagree that Zach can lack nuance at times, I’m just not sure skipping nuance right back is particularly useful 🫣 GIT will be a massive step forward, and if it passes with a large enough margin I think property tax reform is likely to follow.

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
I mean, Zach is right that sales tax is regressive. We should definitely move away from sales taxes and instead do property taxes. I don’t think he’s arguing for fewer taxes, just a better system.

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
I think Zach is advocating for property taxes, not fewer taxes!

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.

We know folks are going downtown for the playoffs more and working from the office less--time for RTD to catch up with the times! Thanks for your support!

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

Far be it from be to defend this admin, but a statue representing God would be substantially more offensive than the metaphorical representation of liberty. I actually have a far bigger issue with the phrase being included than the statute as a fairly anti-iconoclastic Christian who is a pluralist

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.

Finally. Now to get some new board members and update the COA and maybe we can start the long road back to being a good agency

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

Guy who agrees with the Colorado Court that this was a ridiculous sentence because he thinks that most sentences for completely nonviolent conduct being nine years is ridiculous: Population two: Michael and John

Kavs seemed pretty skeptical to me. My feeling is 7-2 but Kavs writing a concurrence

It’s genuinely hilarious how after a certain candidates abysmal showing at caucus and state assembly every single Serious Thinker in politics is all repeating the exact same talking points from a couple of PR firms.
010
Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 30/03/2026
Caucus is good. Party insiders (those of us who actually show up, knock on doors and run campaigns) should have an elevated voice by merely showing up instead of people who tweet about politics all the time and can’t show up to a school for a few hours every two years.

Exactly what a bunch of were doing this weekend

Since this is not the regular stadium this is accurate!

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 29/03/2026
We were at both. Chill out.

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 29/03/2026
Also it was totally possible to do both! I joined two protests before the game started!

Calm down, many of us were at both.

Not a dome, not accessible via transit, it’s old, and the location should be housing.

Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
Looks like a big factor is reduction of car thefts at the airport and the Kia / Hyundai getting their systems together were big factors too
000
Michael A. Farrington @mikefromco.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
My guess is a renewed priority of car theft for PDs, tougher approach from Walsh since his election, and flock/other database camera systems.

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?

Not to mention, I imagine the computing demands were just ridiculous

I’m not really a prestige focused guy (I went to community college after all!) but to me it’s undeniable that the network and hard work are demonstrated and improved via college. Not a law of nature but a great rule of thumb.

I’ve said this before on another site; but being out and out super anti ai will be boomer and lefty coded—like saving the whales was in the 90s or being vegan is today—in the 2030s. Progressives are just fundamentally not well suited to be small-c conservative about anything but especially tech
