👋 John Padora | U.S. Congressional Candidate, CO-4 | Engineer & Advocate for Working Families | The Bold Democrat Who Can Beat Lauren Boebert

Weld County, Colorado

If you’re a Democrat, Independent, or moderate Republican who values the well-being of our country and the future of our children and grandchildren—and if you reject the divisiveness of Trump and the "MAGA" movement—I’d love to connect with you. Let’s build a united path forward.
Honored to be endorsed by Progressive Democrats of America. I’m one of just 7 non-incumbent House candidates they’re backing. PDA has endorsed fighters like Maxwell Frost, Summer Lee, Greg Casar, Ro Khanna, AOC. A democracy must be progressive or it won’t survive.

One question I get almost every day - will I accept AIPAC money?
I’ll never take a dime from AIPAC.
I’m the only candidate in this race who’s condemned the genocide in Gaza since day one and called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel.

Lauren Boebert and I couldn’t be more different.

She runs on a platform of hatred, bigotry, and division.
I’m running on a platform of common sense solutions that actually unite us.

We’re tired.
Tired of working harder and falling further behind.
Tired of the lies, the greed, the corruption.
Families are drowning while billionaires buy politicians and both parties look the other way.
This isn’t sustainable - it’s breaking us.

Today, I’m traveling across Colorado to stand shoulder to shoulder with Americans who refuse to bow to tyranny.

The horrors in Gaza are real. But they’re not distant — the machinery of fascism, propaganda, and dehumanization is active right here in America. ICE raids, silencing dissent, crushing voices — it’s the same playbook.

I’ve been reflecting on what happened, where we’re headed, and-like many of you-what the solution is. Violence isn’t it. Our power is solidarity + mass action. Read more in my latest Substack piece:

My heart is with the students, families, and staff at Evergreen High School after the tragic shooting. No parent should fear sending their child to school. No student should fear walking into class. We stand with our community in grief, love, and solidarity. 💛💙

Always Remember.
On this day, we honor the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. We remember the courage of first responders who ran toward danger and gave everything. We honor the soldiers who served and sacrificed in the years that followed.

🚨 DID YOU KNOW? 🚨

I’m the ONLY candidate in this race who:
✔️ Signed the pledge against AIPAC’s corruption
✔️ Calls out Israel for genocide
✔️ Ready to END the military-industrial complex and reinvest that money here at home
✔️ Calls out BOTH parties’ elites – not cozying up to them or cheering them on

💥 My top 3 issues:
1️⃣ Affordability—housing, groceries, healthcare, farms.
2️⃣ Education—debt relief, fair pay, end extremist control.
3️⃣ Democracy—ban stock trades, term limits, stop endless wars.

The same politicians who’ve sold us out for generations are still getting elected—because they’re bankrolled by the very corrupt institutions wrecking our communities. That has to end.

Listening to the people of this district – that’s what leadership is supposed to be. Lauren Boebert doesn’t care what you think. She only takes orders from Donald Trump. That’s not representation – that’s authoritarianism.
August 20, 2025 at 9:12 PM
When @HuffPost covered our campaign making national headlines, it wasn’t just about a viral video in Boebert’s infamous “Beetlejuice” seat – it was proof that people are hungry for change.
August 20, 2025 at 5:31 PM
I’m running because we’re not sprinting toward authoritarianism – we’re already living in it. I look a hell of a lot more like the people I want to represent – parents juggling jobs, blue-collar workers falling further behind, families crushed by the harshest economy since the Great Depression.
August 19, 2025 at 7:16 PM
It was an honor when Mark Hamill recognized our campaign in 2024 and helped shine a national spotlight on our fight. That moment proved something: when we bring courage, humor, and grit into this race, people listen.

And we’re just getting started.

🚨 Last year on MSNBC’s @TheLastWord with Jonathan Capehart, I called out Lauren Boebert for carpetbagging into CO-04 to save her own skin. People were DONE with her chaos — and donations poured in from all 50 states because they knew Colorado deserves better.
August 18, 2025 at 3:53 PM
When Democrats lose, it’s not because we’re “too radical.” It’s because Washington leadership stuffed with corporate cash listens to donors instead of voters.

Donald Trump won because he was radical. People are sick of the status quo.
August 17, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Lauren Boebert has praised and worshipped Donald Trump. She parades as a “Christian” while demonizing her neighbors as enemies. Everywhere she goes, she spews toxicity and division.
August 17, 2025 at 7:56 PM
I know you’re flooded daily with donation asks from politicians. The truth? Many of them don’t need your money because they’ve got millionaire donors and special interest groups.
August 15, 2025 at 4:10 PM
My family is why I fight – for every working family in CO-04 who deserves better. We’re up against deep pockets & dark money, but together we can win. Chip in & help flip the Fourth: secure.actblue.com/donate/flipt...

How lucky am I, seriously? This beautiful state. My beautiful, healthy family.

I’ve faced my share of adversity, but I’ve always been blessed. This family is my greatest asset. They bring out the best in me, push me, inspire me, and motivate me to fight for the future with everything I have.
