I'm running for office to pass paid sick leave & Medicare for All. I dont take the corporate PAC money that so often turns public policy into corporate giveaways. I'm running a grassroots-funded campaign -- anything you can donate is a huge help:

I was proud to brave the freezing snowy day to stand in solidarity with @DenverTeachers as they prepare to strike on Monday. Thank you to Governor @JaredPolis for not blocking teachers from exercising their right to strike. #DCTAStrong #RedforEd #copolitics #coleg

A war is being waged on workers & their right to join unions. In this election, we can't accept vague platitudes -- we must elect legislators who are EXPLICIT in supporting union rights & who will defend workers who join unions. I'm that kind of candidate.

How dominant were Democrats in Colorado tonight? They now control: - governor - secretary of state (beat well-liked incumbent R) - treasurer - attorney general - majority in both chambers of state legislature - a majority (4/7, up from 3/7) of the state's congressional seats

The stark difference in police response to the summer's protests of racial injustice compared to the mob attempting a coup at the US Capitol today leaves me sick and despondent. A truly sad day...

Denver is being choked by pollution because of oil/gas fracking & drilling. This is a 2-pronged crisis: fossil fuels are creating a climate crisis & a public health crisis. We can't sit idly by: we must elect progressives who will fight for our environment

Fracking is intensifying the climate crisis that threatens to kill millions. Scientists say we must limit fossil fuel development ASAP. Those of us in the #coleg must listen to that science & take action. The future of humanity is at stake. #copolitics

Sad news today. True story. I asked to borrow his favorite book so we’d have to talk again. My ploy worked, and it was an incredible book.

I'm running in a Democratic primary against an incumbent who's been bankrolled by corporate PACs. I dont take corporate PAC money, but I'm supported by @BernieSanders & great CO progressive leaders. We can win if we raise the resources. Can you pitch in?

It’s 2019, not 1919. Our state is more wealth than many other states, yet we don’t even guarantee full-day kindergarten (much less pre-K) throughout the state. It’s time for Colorado’s education system to join the 21st century & guarantee full-day kindergarten. #copolitics #coleg

We’re working to defeat the GOP here in Colorado. I'm a progressive who doesn’t accept corporate PAC money. I rely on grassroots donors, and have have been fighting corporate interests in the legislature. Please pitch in to our campaign, if you can.

Dems campaigned on a progressive agenda & the GOP campaigned on a promise to kill Dem bills on paid leave, education, oil/gas regs, gun reform & affordable housing. The election was a VERY CLEAR mandate for us to pass these bills. Let's do it. #copolitics
