Democrats of House District 6 (Uptown, Capitol Hill, Cheeseman Park, Congress Park, Hale, Montclair, and Lowry) - if you want an actual choice in the June primaries, I need your help making the ballot through caucusing this Tuesday, March 3rd! Sign up and learn more at iris4colorado.org.
So proud to have the endorsement of David Seligman, @seligmanforag.bsky.social, the leading candidate for Attorney General and a lifelong fighter for working people everywhere against corporate abuses and injustices.
House District 6 should be leading the fight for affordable housing across the state of Colorado, not posing an obstacle to it. That's why we need a change in elected leadership. I am running for HD6 to fix the affordable housing crisis, not entrench it.
Halpern for the House!
Launching a campaign. Building a movement.
Hope you can join!
You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.
So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans
Trump just stripped the EPA of its power to regulate greenhouse gases. Colorado and HD6 are going to have to lead in environmental protection. That won't happen when elected officials are funded by oil and gas. Unlike my opponent I refuse to accept PAC money or support from the fossil fuel industry.
Proud to be endorsed by the @workingfamiliesco.bsky.social in my race for Colorado House District 6. This campaign is about centering people power and not corporate power at the State House. Together we can do this. iris4colorado.org.
Canada will do something; America never does. Our hearts are with you BC. The mass shooting deaths in schools in our country dwarfs yours. We wish our government would care about children too.
Score: Bad Bunny = 1 / Trump = 0.
Endorsed by one of my favorite clients, Brooky Parks! I am running for HD6 to protect our rights in the State House just like I have in courts across the country. If you care about librararies, freedom to read, and the rights of our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC neighbors, pitch in. share.google/rOuXyaUijLRd...
Testified in front of the Senate Judiciary today in support of SB26-005, which aims to create a private right of action for damages against federal immigration agents who violate Coloradans' constitutional rights. Now, agents get off scot free, and we are witnessing a breakdown in rule of law.
I launched my campaign for HD6 to bring progressive politics back to downtown Denver and to get rid of the corrupting influence of dark money on our politics. My opponent is being supported by a PAC funded by big corporations, oil and gas, and Republican donors. Help me fight back.
Giving the keynote speech this morning to an auditorium full of high schoolers for the Youth Celebrate Diversity Annual Conference was an inspiring experience. My speech was about how ordinary people do extraordinary things to fight for justice. These youth are our future and we are in good hands.
Summer is paying the ultimate career price to protect the rights of her community. And we will be beside her every step of the way fighting for justice and to protect the civil and constitutional rights of Oklahoma students. I could not be more moved by the bravery of my client. Read her story:
I am running for office in Colorado House District 6 because we need to protect our immigrant neighbors, fight discrimination, and halt the steady erosion of our constitutional rights. Americans are saying no to a violent, authoritarian police state. Abolish ICE.
This is what the dark, horrifying descent into fascism looks like. Abolish Ice.
Started my latest book last night. Read "Globalization and Its Discontents" by Stiglitz about a decade ago, and highly recommend it.
If we do not have a chance to learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it...
Today would have marked the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Tie up your laces, we have a lot of work to do and the courts aren't going to save us...
Minnesota we are with you βοΈ.
Proud to be recognized by 5280 Magazine again this year for my efforts to fight for workers' rights across the state.
I'm running for Colorado House District 6 because the struggle for civil rights continues, and it's now more important than ever to have a candidate with a track record of fighting for them - hard. Iris4colorado.org
At the annual MLK Marade. Reminder that not only is the struggle for equality ongoing, but that we must recommit with passion because all around us our rights are being dismantled by a fascist president who just this month said passage of the Civil Rights Act was bad. We need fighters.

Today, I am announcing my candidacy for Colorado HD6. Backroom deals. Dark money. Luxury retreats in Vail. Thatβs how nothing ever changes.
I am running to break the cycle and put everyday people back in charge.
Closed the X account. It was time. Elon Musk sucks.
Why do I read my phone at night? Makes me a want to throw up before bedtime...
Finally did it. Shut down the X account. Good riddance.
Well, this is an interesting, euphamistic way of calling Kristi Noem a liar. I would have stuck with plain English myself...
