The pledges.
A council member elected in this special election holds four powers from day one: a vote on every contract of $500,000 or more, a vote on every confirmation, a microphone, and a calendar. Every pledge below spends one of those powers. Nothing here needs the mayor's cooperation, a budget cycle, or more than the 19 weeks the term gives me.
I will vote no on every surveillance technology contract and renewal until Denver passes an ordinance that requires a public impact report and a council vote before the city buys tools that watch you.
I will vote no on any city contract if the contractor has an unpaid wage theft judgment from Denver Labor. Pay your workers back, then bid on public money.
I will sponsor an ordinance that counts related contracts together, so splitting a deal to duck council review stops working. Until it passes, my office publishes every contract that lands close to the line, every week, by name.
Every meeting I take with a lobbyist, developer, or city vendor goes on a public calendar within 48 hours: who it was and what they wanted.
How to hold me to them
Each pledge page says exactly what Denver has on the books now, what I will do with the seat's own powers, and what the pledge does not do. Every claim carries a case number, a code section, a date, or a dollar figure you can check. If I break one, you'll be able to point at the line I broke.
