For Denver City Council At-Large
Most campaigns spend money telling you about themselves. This one spends it fixing things.
See what happens next
Special election
November 2026
Denver’s Fair Elections Fund matches the first $50 of a qualifying contribution from a Denver resident at 9 to 1.
I have no interest in turning your $50 into $500 for high-priced consultants, social media spam, and mailers headed for the recycling bin. Denver gets enough of that every election.
We’ll put as much of the match as the rules allow into work Denver can see. Denver people get hired, and the receipt goes public when the job is done.
The campaign takes no corporate or PAC money and answers to Denverites.

Give us the location and the thing that keeps getting missed.
Denver labor and Denver businesses. Paid fairly.
Work we accept is finished within the week.
I grew up the only kid of a single mom who did the best she could against a stacked deck. When I moved here at 19, it was because Denver had promise for a kid who didn't have all the answers.
I started writing about Denver in 2010, then spent a decade running event operations where a bad plan fails in public.
I’m running because City Hall should have to pass the same test.
