"A cheery and pugnacious speaker, Howell represents the left flank of the cabal." -Amos Barshad in The Lever
If, in *this* moment, you're a legislator who chooses to go hang out w/ corporate lobbyists at a fancy hotel in Vail instead of standing up for everyday Coloradans who are struggling like hell, you might be wildly out of touch w/ where the electorate is at.

The fact that this thing I wrote happened to come out in @convergencemag.com on a day SCOTUS is trying to erase us feels right on.

Trans people are not the enemy.

The people picking all of our pockets are.

I’m a Trans American—and I’ve Got Your Back if You’ve Got Mine
The “they/them agenda” is being used to sow working class division, but the fight for America’s future requires us to stand together with every stripe and creed of working people, indivisible.

Proud to be one of several organizers of this statement. We must always fight like hell against those who try to use communities in pain as political pawns in a quest for power -- especially when there is an attempt to set them against one another.

They've come for immigrants.
They've come for trans folks.
Now they're coming for union leaders.

As someone who is two out of three, if you love me, don't look away. And, for the love of god, speak up. Silence is complicity.

Last night, I talked about why I am stepping up to run for Congress.

(HINT: it's because more people like us need to be where the decisions are being made.)

Today, I filed to become a candidate for Congress because the politicians in charge in Washington are only looking out for the wealthy and well connected. Our system is broken and I'm running to help fix it.

The violent attack against peaceful Jewish demonstrators in Boulder is horrifying, and comes less than 2 weeks after the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim in DC. It compounds the pain and fear many are feeling.

There is no room for antisemitism, bigotry, and hate anywhere.

CO-8 Congressman Gabe Evans is holding a news conference on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol.

Hard to hear as protestors have gone from “Do your job” to “Gabe you suck.”

Still waiting to ask questions to Evans. Hope to be able to shortly.

While this is a welcome shift, Rep. Shannon Bird still hasn’t taken responsibility or shown any regret for her NO vote.

That’s why Working Families Power is now focusing its primary accountability efforts on Rep. Bird.

This morning, Sen. Kyle Mullica voted YES on the repassage of SB276, a critical bill protecting our immigrant neighbors from Trump-era abuses.

In Colorado, people in prison can be denied family visitation if they do not participate in a prison work program. This practice is cruel.

🚨NEW: Americans are fed up with the status quo. Our latest survey shows 74% believe the economic and political systems need major changes — and of those, 12% say the entire system should be torn down completely.

The message is clear: business as usual isn’t cutting it.
