See you on a threads! @ perk.ja

For whoever needs to hear it, I strongly believe we can elect women AND have women staff those women. Like, it’s not an either or situation. Next time let’s try having our cake and eating it too. denverite.com/2023/06/09/mik…

Congratulations to Johnston for finally getting elected to the office he wanted so much, ❌Senator❌, ❌Governor❌, ✅Mayor✅

Every marketer should be studying the brilliant branding that turned a Vail-to-Yale, anti-teachers union, billionaire-backed, straight white man into the darling of the progressive left here in Denver

In my inbox daily asking for money - not even couching it in campaigning - because $5.9M is chump change I guess? I am so glad this election is almost over 🙄😤 (don’t @ me about hard side vs soft side contributions, this is obscene)

Johnston: focus on downtown commuters for RTD ridership, we have to make it easy for people like him who drive cars Brough: 30yr bike commuter, support BRT on Colfax, Colorado, Federal, make transit free for students, accelerate Vision Zero denverite.com/2023/05/23/big…

When your hedge fund supported super PAC reports more than $525,000 in media buy but your campaign doesn’t have the photography budget to update your rural mailers left over from running for governor/senate #denvermayor

@cprwarner @Denverite @ColoradoMatters @kyle_a_harris Ahh, to be a white man. Thank you for asking!

@cprwarner @Denverite @ColoradoMatters @kyle_a_harris I really enjoyed this interview, but one dynamic was so weird to me, which was a man asking a petite woman if she feels safe in the city. Here’s the thing about being a woman who leaves her house, sometimes even at night: there is no such thing as feeling safe

“I am extremely worried about downtown.” My interview with Denver mayoral candidate Kelly Brough for @Denverite and @ColoradoMatters: denverite.com/2023/05/01/int… Mike Johnston is next. I’ll link here. (Produced by @kyle_a_harris)

This new bike lane on Cherokee is going really really well.

@cprwarner @Denverite @ColoradoMatters @kyle_a_harris Thank you! Glad to hear you asked them both. I just hope that listeners/readers consider the nuance of a small white woman amswering vs a white man. To be a woman, unfortunately, is to be taught to be afraid as survival

@perkja @Denverite @ColoradoMatters @kyle_a_harris Hi Jamie, so glad you listened and reached out. In fairness, I ask that question of both candidates. No doubt their experiences will differ, and that’s theirs to answer for themselves. I’m pasting her answer here.

The irony of the Children Playing Safety Signs and this truck being sold in Aurora is too much for me to handle 🥸

If we want to talk about leading an institution plagued by a history of racism and sexism, look no further than the Mayor’s office. That’s why it’s important to continue electing diverse leadership, including Denver’s first woman mayor

Here’s the thing about being a woman or POC: if you step into leadership at an old institution, it’s going to have sexist and racist roots. The irony is that those orgs only change w/diverse leadership. We should celebrate Brough’s leadership denverite.com/2023/04/26/mik… @Denverite

i do not destroy my toys. they simply experience. a rapid unscheduled disassembly. this has nothing to do with me

@MeadowWest83 And also the public not believing this was going to happen?

Denver I honestly cannot tell…is this satire?

Overheard while working at the coffee shop: “I got a Skittle shot. It was delicious.” “A what?” (Pregnant pause) “The Skittle shot. It tastes like Skittles. It was delicious.” 👏🌈 bless those still in their 20s

FWIW this Emerge alum is going to be really disappointed if current Emerge ED Lisa Calderón doesn’t support the woman left in the #denvermayor race

Republicans: It’s not guns, it’s mental health! Also Republicans:
