Please know we will do everything in our power to bring the perpetrator to justice and prevent future acts of terror. I am so grateful for the first responders who took swift action to arrive at the scene, provide medical aid to victims and take the suspect quickly into custody.

As Mayor Pro-Tem of the city of Boulder, I want to state clearly, violence and hatred have no place in our community. I also know that one of the hardest things to heal will be the sense of safety and security that this attack has stolen.

My heart goes out to the victims, their families, their loved ones and all who were impacted by today’s tragic incident. I know for our Jewish community this pain is compounded by the events in DC.

\ But we would be directly impacted by bill HB 1208. I am close to both sides of this issue, so please stop overcomplicating things, don't override our engagement, just give local governments control over the tip credit so we can make balanced thoughtful decisions for our local communities.

So appreciate Colorado Reps Junie Joseph and Naquetta Ricks for organizing this and for your leadership and solidarity in these difficult times

Rep. Junie Joseph getting things started.

🤔 I'm checking in on what the plan is moving forward. I'll let you know what I find out
