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.

If someone in Congress can’t answer a basic question like that, they have no business making decisions about our economy. I’m John Padora - a working dad who can beat Lauren Boebert. This country belongs to working people. Let’s send her home.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

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.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Boebert failed to carry our voices. I’m coming to take her job. Like. Share. Donate. Let’s win this together.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I’ve driven 150,000 miles across Colorado, holding town halls everywhere because you deserve a fighter who shows up. I’ll hold Trump accountable, overhaul our for-profit healthcare system, fight for Eastern Colorado farmers, and I’ll never take a dime of AIPAC or foreign lobby money.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

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.

1106

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

That’s why I’m running for Congress. Hardworking families have been abandoned for far too long. We need real, equitable change - and I won’t stop fighting until we get it.

041

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.

These are common sense priorities blocked by crooks in Washington who think we serve them. We don’t. I’m grateful to be here - and I’m ready to fight like hell for our community. I will never give up on us. #CO04

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

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.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

These facilities accelerate climate change, drain water, and spike electricity demand that drives YOUR bills higher. Without regulation, AI will eliminate jobs and funnel more wealth to the top 1 percent while working families keep bleeding. Guardrails now.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

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

Universal healthcare. Medical debt cancellation. Paid family and medical leave. Affordable childcare. Fair taxes. Strong labor protections. Real anti-corruption reform. We can build an economy that lets people breathe again - and I’m ready to fight for it.

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

At 37, I’m the youngest candidate in this race, speaking to the youth and the millions who’ve walked away from a broken two-party system. Voters under 40 feel voiceless in Washington. I’m running because I’m one of you.

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.

Dr. King warned us about this moment. Justice isn’t granted by those in power - it’s taken by people willing to stand together. Honor MLK by fighting for dignity, fairness, and real democracy.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Today, we see the same patterns. Authoritarianism sold as “law and order.” ICE terrorizing communities. Workers crushed by an affordability crisis while corporations and politicians are shielded from accountability. Chaos is manufactured so fear can replace solidarity.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Dr. King fought for racial justice and economic justice. He understood that racism and poverty are tools of control. That working people - Black, brown, and white - are kept divided while power protects itself. He organized, disrupted, practiced civil disobedience, and paid a brutal price for it.

We reject brutality, injustice, and demand accountability and transparency. We will oppose this expansion and defend freedom for all. Abolish ICE.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

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.

We need a new generation of fighters who are willing to stand on conviction, not convenience. If you're ready for that fight, join us.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Others stay completely silent, tiptoeing around the issue at best. I'm the only candidate in this race who has consistently spoken out against endless war and genocide and backed it up with action. No spin. No hedging. I put pen to paper and signed the pledge to reject AIPAC and all foreign money.

111

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

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.

John Padora @padoraforco.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Trillions for war. Austerity for people. This isn’t left vs right. It’s the people vs an empire that no longer serves us.

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.

2026 is the year we start taking our country back. Not just by flipping districts blue, but by replacing antiquated, gutless career politicians with a new generation of working-class fighters who actually live the consequences of the policies they vote on.

But cutting humanitarian aid is the wrong answer. We should divest from war profiteering and reinvest in Americans and real global humanitarian aid through USAID, not gut it.
