Special election
November 2026
Your $50 becomes $500 to spend in Denver.
Denver’s Fair Elections Fund matches the first $50 of a qualifying contribution from a Denver resident at 9 to 1.
Campaign money can buy mailers, social ads, and consultants. We’re putting as much of it as the rules allow into work Denver can see. We’ll hire Denver people to fix what a campaign can legally touch, then publish the receipt.
The campaign takes no corporate or PAC money and answers to Denverites.

Who was paid, what it cost, and what changed.
Four promises for a 19-week term.
Each uses a power the seat already has.
A no vote on contracts while a company owes workers an unpaid Denver Labor judgment.
↗ 02 Rules before surveillanceA no vote on surveillance contracts until Denver requires a public impact report and a council vote.
↗ 03 Count the whole contractRelated contracts count together, so a $498,500 extension cannot duck council review.
↗ 04 Show who got the meetingLobbyist, developer, and vendor meetings posted within 48 hours.

Denver since 2002.
I grew up poor in Iowa and landed here at twenty. 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.
