This November, I'm winning D1's City Council seat - but I can't do it without YOUR help.
Unlike other candidates that only listen to special interest groups, I care about everyday folks. A donation, volunteer time, or subscribing to my newsletter can make all the difference! #FortCollins

There is a lot going on right now, so remember to find moments of joy when you can.
Old Town Fort Collins has The Exchange - home of Yellow Crunch, a Colombian restaurant with amazing food!
Me and my family grabbed an empanada flight! Highly recommend. 💛

Colorado & Fort Collins face a crisis - not only in changing climate, but also economically.
Tariffs are going to close small businesses & families are going to have a hard time stretching their food dollar.
That's why my campaign is focusing on economic resiliency. #DaisyForFoCo #leadership

Colorado electricity utilities — from the largest investor-owned corporation to rural electric cooperatives — are straining to meet reliability standards and state clean energy mandates as they face cost-spiraling economics and the threat of tariffs.
Colorado utilities are trying to go green. Tariffs and geopolitical chaos are getting in the way.
Colorado Energy Office and Gov. Jared Polis tested the waters for a bill that would move up clean-energy goals by a decade

I strongly believe that one cannot serve the people in a postion of public office if they do not value people's rights as held under the Constitution.
How can you advocate for your community if you don't value their agency?

These devastating cuts are happening across America. Not to mention other cuts that are crippling local economies & community grants.
Trump's policies are terrible for #FortCollins #economy, small businesses, and everyday people. This isn't a partisan issue - this impacts everyone.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

TABOR has been a favorite for voters since its inception. But we need to be honest with ourselves:
Do we want a small check once a year? Or funded healthcare, schools, and infrastructure?
It's time to get rid of TABOR if we want to care for Coloradoans.

NEW: Colorado lawmakers finalize budget proposal. Here’s what they cut to close $1.2B gap — and what they didn’t.
Colorado lawmakers finalize budget proposal. Here’s what they cut to close $1.2B gap — and what they didn’t.
The cuts will enable the state to absorb the rising costs of Medicaid and fully fund K-12 for another year. But they didn’t eliminate the state’s structural deficit, which will require ongoing cuts…

One of my favorite ways to lead, from my work with the #federal government to my work as a small business owner advocating for the #autistic #community, is to sit down and listen to people.
#FortCollins I want to hear what matters to you. Kick back, have a beer, & tell me what's on your mind.

Everyday people have been so beaten down by low wages, poor mental health, and the stress of unaffordability that we have forgotten how much power we have.
We can turn the tide of poor policy, gentrification, and abuse.
We only need to show up and claim our power.

Today was the perfect day in #FortCollins to fly a kite, go for a hike, or open up the windows and let the fresh air in!
#ChomperChumley got to roll in the grass and the cats loved sitting next to the window and watching the squirrels! We did Spring Cleaning.
Happy Sunday, everyone

#FortCollins government will also have to consider how it will partner with Poudre School District and others that will see Integrated Services or potentially free lunches be significantly impacted.

#FortCollins also has Vindeket, a variety of food banks, and on the edge of town there is Esh, which is a discount grocery store but it can be a drive for some people.
It will be interesting to see what our local Economic Health Office will say as the tariffs continue to impact mainstreet America.

The CR that passed also included 83k jobs being cut from the #VA in an effort to roll back the PACT Act that passed in 2022. Clinics in #FortCollins are still open, but there are some programs available, such as the Healing Project, that helps #veterans get access to acupuncture and #PTSD resources.

Not to mention that the #DepartmentOfEducation is being dismantled, putting our students, particularly our disabled students and children from the Black, Indigenous, and Latin communities in #FortCollins will be disproportionately impacted. Many do not consider the civil rights duties of the DoE.

The CR passed. What does it mean for #FortCollins ? A thread.
There are $13 billion cuts included in the budget #Trump signed this morning to prevent a government shutdown. These cuts target #Medicaid #Medicare the #VA & also there are freezes of $0 towards the Department of Agriculture & others.

For those unaware, the proposed Republican CR would remove ALL funding for the PACT Act, which has allowed #veterans to get benefits for toxic exposures during service.
That's why they fired 83k people from the #VA, so they don't have to provide care related to it.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.
Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.
