Last night, we joined former Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca and residents of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea (GES) to discuss plans for a new arena north of I-70.
We stand with GES residents in opposing this proposal over concerns that it would further displace residents and threaten the future of the historic Elyria neighborhood.
As part of our Land Back platform, we support residents’ demands to use the Triangle to reunify the neighborhood and preserve its history, homes, and future.
Our neighborhoods deserve investment that protects the people who call them home. 💜

Last night Denver voters said yes to change and accountability. They said yes to protecting the auditor's enforcement power, funding our schools, expanding transit, and protecting animals. They overwhelmingly elected progressive candidates and rejected tougher ICE enforcement, interference with our elections, and political insiders backed by corporate funders.
Next up: the Denver mayor's race in five months. Voters want a government that works, that lowers their costs, and responds when called. They want a serious candidate who understands their struggles, fights for them, and delivers results without breaking the budget.
Corporations didn't decide this blue tsunami election. Organized people did. That's our fight in 2027 for working people — and to protect the rights of all people targeted by bad-faith initiatives. Despite Denver voting overwhelmingly to support our trans neighbors, there is more work to be done across our state.
Congratulations to all the progressive candidates on a historic night in our city and across the nation! Let's continue to fight for the city that we love. ✊🏾💜

A third ethics complaint has been filed over Denver's hiring of City Attorney Miko Brown's former law firm which bills $800/hour on a nearly $1 million contract to fight two whistleblowers while Mayor Johnston proposes cutting rental assistance by 70%.
One day we'll have a Mayor who plays by the rules, a City Attorney who operates with integrity, City employees who can speak up without fear of retaliation; a transparent budget process, and an Ethics Board with real teeth.
Between now and April when we win election, expect millions in campaign money from execs, lobbyists, law firms, and developers to keep Johnston and his cronies in power. Denver deserves better.

What is Mayor Johnston hiding?
For more than a year, Johnston has denied Auditor Tim O’Brien access to budget records he has a right to see. O’Brien should sue him for violating the City Charter. The Auditor previously found that Johnston's homelessness initiative cost $20 million more than he reported.
The City Attorney Miko Brown is conflicted and should be fired for her ongoing bad advice costing taxpayers millions.
Once elected, I will order a forensic audit of Johnston's spending, show the public where every dollar went, and fix the budgeting process.

In 2024, Johnston spent $290/sq. ft. on the Denver Post building. Now, Alterra could receive nearly $11M in incentives, plus free rent.

44% of Latinos in Colorado fear losing their homes. Rising costs put generational wealth—from youth to adulthood—at risk.
As mayor, I’ll expand eviction defense, support rent stabilization and invest in affordable housing so families can thrive.

The charming shops and local businesses on Tennyson Street that I grew up with are being priced out by corporate landlords charging 3x the rent over the past 10 years.
The Northside, once home to a large Latino population, is a cautionary tale of how unchecked investment firms accelerate gentrification, displacing residents and local businesses.
As Mayor I will introduce anti-displacement initiatives to stabilize rent, establish a corporate landlord vacancy tax, and support small businesses.
Denver’s growth shouldn’t push them out! 💜

In an 8-4 vote Denver City Council approved nearly $1 million for CAO Miko Brown's former law firm WTO to fight whistleblowers Everett Martinez & Jessica Calderon.
It's not a "purity test" to oppose WTO's ties to GEO & retaliation against city workers. It's accountability.
Shame.

Public transit should be safe for everyone.
Mayor Mike Johnston celebrated the opening of the new BRT lanes, while residents, bus drivers, customers, and businesses are still navigating confusing traffic patterns and maps that have not yet been fully updated to reflect new turn and lane restrictions.
As Denver expands BRT and public transportation, we need to make sure safety remains a priority for our neighborhoods. As Mayor, I plan to restore dedicated transportation and infrastructure funding to support safer streets and transit.

Denver can't solve the housing crisis by expanding the public safety budget while cutting eviction defense.
Instead of funding flashy programs run by out-of-state franchise providers, I will invest in the proven, cost-effective community interventions that Johnston has ignored.
I will invest to keep Denver families stabily housed. 🌹

For Denver to be a welcoming and safe City, our local government shouldn’t be doing business with ICE contractors or retaliating against the airport's own lawyer for refusing to violate the law by creating fake justifications for denying contracts.
While Johnston claims his hands are tied on Key Lime Air's deportation flights, we have the power to choose who we lease our airport to.
We need to stand with our immigrant neighbors and demand public contracts that reflect our values. 🌹

When Denverites call 911, they deserve a timely response — and a human on the other end.
As Mayor, I will fully staff Denver’s emergency call center and prohibit AI from replacing human communication in life-and-death emergency calls. Technology should support our workers, not replace them when lives are on the line.
I also plan to continue investing in STAR so mental and behavioral health crises can be handled by trained professionals, while keeping emergency resources available for the calls that need them most.
Public safety means answering the call and sending the right help. 💜

Your daily reminder that the same law firm, WTO, that fought to keep health inspectors out of Geo’s ICE detention facility is the same one that Mayor Johnston's City Attorney, Miko Brown, pays $800 an hour to fight the reinstatement of two Latino whistleblowers.
Within our first 100 days, we will clean house, restore integrity to the CAO, and divest from contractors with ties to ICE.

Changes to Medicaid eligibility could leave more Denverites struggling to access the care they need.
Community-based organizations help residents navigate complicated systems and connect with critical resources.
As mayor, I propose cultivating a network of alternative healthcare providers to help reduce the cost of prescriptions, exams, and preventative care while strengthening the community organizations already doing this work.
Healthcare access starts in our communities. 💜

Denver needs more affordable housing, not more police parking lots.
I would reduce the space dedicated to police parking and increase the space for affordable housing.
We can invest in public safety AND make smarter use of public land.
Denver can change its plans. As mayor, I will.
