I spent years working to elect Democrats. That’s why I followed the money inside our own house - AIPAC, corporate influence, wealthy donors, PACs and oligarchy. If we claim to fight corporate capture, we have to mean it. substack.com/@padora4co/n...

If Democrats Want to Fight Oligarchy, We Have to Look Inside Our Own House

A look at Colorado Democrats and the contradiction between fighting for working people and a political system built around wealth, PAC money, corporate influence and access to power.

We need a tax rebellion to stop this reckless, unconstitutional war and Trump’s warhawk authoritarian regime that’s draining working families while killing innocent people under false pretenses. Americans are struggling to survive while Washington continues to burn hundreds of billions.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat. I’m not supporting corporate cowards who deliver breadcrumbs to working people, handouts to the powerful, and keep enabling the neoliberal failures that fueled fascism. I want fighters - not managers of decline.

Today my campaign for Congress ends. Our fight does NOT. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and made sacrifices to support our efforts.

This can’t be our congresswoman. Inflation isn’t complicated - prices keep rising while our money buys less. Groceries go up. Rent goes up. Gas goes up. But our paychecks don’t. Working families feel it every day.

I’m John Padora, and I’m running for Congress to defeat Lauren Boebert and build a better future for our families.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

NO WAR WITH IRAN. Regime change has been a disaster everywhere it’s been tried. It destabilizes nations, costs countless lives, drains our treasury, and leaves working families here paying the price. We’ve learned this lesson before. Stop repeating failed foreign policy.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

She’s using us for her own political gain. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. Lauren Boebert has shown us exactly who she is. We deserve a leader who actually knows us - our communities, our struggles, our working families - and who will fight for us in DC.

I’m running to use politics as a tool to bring us together - not tear us apart. I’m focused on what we agree on: Lower taxes for working families. Affordable healthcare. Clean air and clean water. Protecting our land and our jobs. Broadband and real infrastructure.

John Padora is the REAL deal!!!! Smart, dedicated, hard worker, incredible dad and human! He’s an engineer with knowledge of environmental issues, health care, climate, labor and even grew up on a farm! This is the human we MUST have represent US to renew our Constitution and our Democracy! ☮️🇺🇸

At 19, I survived a brutal car accident. Years later, I fell into opioid addiction. I thought my life was over. It wasn’t - it was the beginning. I rebuilt my life, fought for 2nd chances, and pushed to legalize cannabis after seeing it help my dad with MS. If you’re struggling - you’re not alone.

Empires in decline reach for war to distract from collapse at home. We will not accept another reckless, illegal, unilateral war with Iran. No blank checks. No endless bloodshed to protect political power. If they push us into it, we will organize, mobilize, and hold them accountable.

There is a dangerous intersection forming between the techno fascists who have hijacked our government and the massive AI data centers being built across this country. Right here in Weld County, I am fighting one in my own community.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I’ve lived what happens when the system fails working families - illness, addiction, debt, and instability. That’s why I’m running.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Democrats took a massive loss in 2024. And like clockwork, DC think tanks and consultants said we need to move further right to win. That’s bullshit. We don’t win by abandoning our values. We win by running toward them.

America is the land of the free but ICE is planning a new detention facility in Hudson, Colorado run by GEO Group, a private for-profit prison company that profits from immigrant detention. I stood with my community at two anti-ICE protests after the killing of Renee Good.

It’s time for America to stop bankrolling corrupt foreign entanglements, endless wars, imperialism & genocide abroad. Some of my primary opponents say they don't take “foreign money,” but that claim is wrapped in political spin and carefully crafted language designed to avoid real accountability.

Venezuela isn’t about drugs or justice. It’s regime change. Empire. Oil. The same war machine that failed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria is back at it while Americans can’t afford rent, healthcare, or groceries.

Happy New Year from Team Padora. We’re wishing you health, stability, good fortune, and success in the year ahead. And yes - a year with less BS and less manufactured negativity.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

At a recent town hall, I was asked about USAID and foreign spending. Here’s the truth: I oppose endless wars, regime change, and the military-industrial complex that’s destabilized the Middle East and wasted trillions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria while making the world less safe.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I’m the only candidate who’s stood firm since day one. I’ve called out AIPAC, foreign lobby influence, the military industrial complex, and U.S.-funded atrocities in Gaza. I support an arms embargo, war crimes investigations, and refuse all AIPAC money.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Being working class isn’t a talking point for me. It’s my life. I know what it’s like to live one missed paycheck from disaster, like 72% of American families.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Medicare for All isn’t radical - it’s common sense. Support is rising because Americans know our healthcare system is broken. My family pays over $10,000 a year and still fears medical debt every time someone gets sick.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

From our family to yours - Happy Thanksgiving! I’m grateful for this community, for every conversation at our town halls, and for everyone standing with us as we work to bring real leadership back to Colorado. Wishing you peace, warmth, and good food today. 🍂🦃

Every 27 seconds someone in America goes medically bankrupt. Politicians say we “can’t afford” universal healthcare - yet never question how we fund endless war, oil and gas subsidies, Big Pharma giveaways, or corporate welfare.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

86 Democrats just condemned “socialism” while our entire generation is drowning in unaffordable living costs created by end-stage capitalism. The establishment defends the system that failed us. Millennials and Gen Z deserve leaders who fight for us, not for corporations or billionaires.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

I’m honored to be 1 of just 7 non-incumbent House candidates in America endorsed by PDA. They back fighters, not folders. I’m the only real progressive in this race to take on Boebert – and I’m running for working families, not the political establishment.

Windsor showed up with heart, honesty and real conversations - and I couldn’t be more grateful. Hearing directly from our community is what this campaign is all about. Every voice matters. Every concern matters. And I’m here to fight for every single family in CO-04.

Honored to be endorsed by Progressive Democrats of America. I’m one of just 7 non-incumbent House candidates they’re backing. PDA has endorsed fighters like Maxwell Frost, Summer Lee, Greg Casar, Ro Khanna, AOC. A democracy must be progressive or it won’t survive.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

One question I get almost every day - will I accept AIPAC money? I’ll never take a dime from AIPAC. I’m the only candidate in this race who’s condemned the genocide in Gaza since day one and called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Lauren Boebert and I couldn’t be more different. She runs on a platform of hatred, bigotry, and division. I’m running on a platform of common sense solutions that actually unite us. #PadoraForColorado #CO04 #Leadership #WorkingClassVoices

We’re tired. Tired of working harder and falling further behind. Tired of the lies, the greed, the corruption. Families are drowning while billionaires buy politicians and both parties look the other way. This isn’t sustainable - it’s breaking us.
