I’m proud to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado! Self-determination is a basic human right and a core Colorado value. That includes the right to safe, legal, and accessible abortion. I’ll continue fighting to protect abortion access and reproductive freedom in Colorado.

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I was proud to stand with D-11 teachers and families yesterday to demand the school board hold Superintendent Gaal accountable for recent allegations of mishandling internal complaints, and that they return Dr. Givler to her classroom after nearly a year of being on retaliatory leave.

The final decision on Project Taurus is coming up. I’ve secured a speaking slot for the Sept. 17 public meeting at 9 AM at the Pikes Peak Center and plan to speak in opposition on behalf of HD-16. What concerns do you want me to bring with me? What do you need me to say on your behalf?

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I’m proud to be endorsed by Rocky Mountain Equality Action Fund. I represented HD-16 when the Club Q attack took place and stood alongside survivors and families. As the only openly queer legislator from El Paso County, I’ll keep fighting for equality and safety.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Colorado Ceasefire PAC. After the Club Q tragedy in HD-16, I stood alongside survivors and families. That experience strengthened my commitment to reducing gun violence. I’ve worked to pass common-sense protections and will keep showing up. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

I enjoyed this evening's Breakfast of Champions launch, part of Peak Vista’s annual fundraising initiative. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC's) pick up so much of the slack caused by our broken healthcare system. 1 of 2

We’ve just got in a fresh order of yard signs! Email malcolm@vigilforcolorado.com with the subject line “yard sign” to request one now, or pick one up from the El Paso County Democratic Party at 1120 N. Circle Dr.! If you’ve already requested one, we’ll be reaching out shortly to arrange drop-off.

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Now that we know who my Republican opponent will be in November, let's make the distinction clear: My opponent is a union buster who cancelled our teachers' contract in D-11, and is being bankrolled by the same big business interests that pick your pocket every day.

Check out this explainer on surveillance pricing! The legislature passed a bill this year to prohibit corporations from using your personal information to jack up prices or suppress your earnings. The governor vetoed it, but we’ll bring it back next year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVU1...

Today is Juneteenth, the most recently added Federal holiday. It marks the occasion when, in 1865, Federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX and notified people still enslaved there that slavery was no longer legal. It's a day of jubilee, when the last enslaved people were liberated. 1/7

Honored to be endorsed by the Jane Fonda Climate PAC! Colorado is already feeling the impacts of climate change through drought, heatwaves, and wildfires. I’m proud of my record fighting for clean energy, cleaner air, and sustainability, and I’ll keep fighting when I’m back in office.

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Loved marching in the Pikes Peak Pride parade and celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community’s resilience. Pride matters because shame and attacks still harm our people. I see you, I’ve got your back, and we’re going to win this seat back so I can keep fighting for you. 🌈

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

In November 1992, a controversial measure was passed that prohibited anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Known as Amendment 2 and born out of Colorado Springs, it led to Colorado being labeled the “hate state.” (1/5)

We’ve got totes! Show your support for the campaign and help spread the word while you’re out and about. We’re offering campaign tote bags to supporters who chip in with a suggested donation of $25. And all volunteers get one for free! (1/2)

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

I had a great time with friends old and new at Demfest and the Obama Gala yesterday! The voters have handed Colorado Democrats a mandate to govern, and in my view we should use it to fight for meaningful, systemic change. Primary ballots go out this week -- get yours in by June 30th!

Steph Vigil for Colorado @vigilforhd16.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Last year, the D11 School Board dissolved our teachers’ union contract, which had been in place since 1968. Since then, hundreds of experienced teachers have left the district. I was proud to stand with educators yesterday as they stood up for better schools for students and educators alike.

Happy International Workers' Day! Today and every day, let's remember where our nation's wealth and prosperity actually come from -- workers! The wealth that pools around corporations and the ultra wealthy is not made by them, but rather by the countless working people who keep our society running.

In 2023, I spearheaded a new policy in Colorado: portable tenant screening reports. When you apply for a rental, you generally need to pay a screening fee, one per adult, to check your credit and screen for things like criminal records, bankruptcies, and evictions. 1/8

I was honored to join my friend and Attorney General candidate David Seligman for this local event last night! David has been a tireless champion for the civil rights of workers, immigrants, and all Coloradans. You can learn more about his campaign and sign up to get involved at seligmanforag.com.

Steph Vigil and David Seligman stand at the front of a cozy indoor venue addressing a small audience. Steph gestures while speaking, and the other stands with arms crossed, listening. Behind them is a cabinet with plants on top and a purple neon sign that reads “Good Vibes Only.” A few attendees sit on a couch and chairs nearby, watching.

Happy Earth Day! In Colorado Springs, we cherish the natural beauty around us and have strong shared values around healthy living and appreciating the outdoors. I've always believed that we owe it to ourselves and future generations to actively lead the way in protecting our environment. 1/5

Screenshot of a Facebook post from Mountain Metropolitan Transit dated April 17 at 11:32 AM. The post announces that free fares will not be offered this summer due to state budget shortfalls. It notes that the Summer Haul Pass for riders ages 6–18 will return, offering unlimited rides from June 1 through August 31 for $25. It also states that three popular routes—Route 3, the ZEB Downtown Shuttle, and the Manitou Springs Shuttle—will continue to have zero fares, and encourages riders to stay tuned for updates.

These are war crimes he's talking about, no two ways about it. It was a bad idea to put a rapist and a fraudster in the Oval Office, and it's going about the way that we said it would if he got back into office. It's going to take a lot more than his removal to recover.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump reading: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!"

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Honored to earn the endorsement of the Communications Workers of America CO/WY State Councils. As a proud CWA member (CIDU-CWA 7777!), this means a lot. HD-16 deserves a representative who stands with workers, and that’s exactly what I’ll do back in office.
