Hey there,

John’s been busy on the trail — connecting directly with Eastern Colorado communities and building the kind of grassroots movement that can defeat Lauren Boebert. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to lately:

Larkspur: Gaining Ground with Indivisible

John met with the Indivisible chapter in Larkspur — neighbors coming together, block by block, to take back their future.

They discussed the real economic pressures families are feeling, concerns about home rule and local control in Douglas County, and the growing threat of authoritarianism. These are true patriots — folks who love this country and are deeply alarmed by the direction it’s headed. John listened, shared his vision, and committed to fighting for a Colorado where democracy, dignity, and community still mean something.

Lone Tree: Standing Up for Local Democracy

John and Amber visited Lone Tree to knock doors and talk with voters about the importance of voting No on Home Rule.

As residents of Weld County, they’ve seen firsthand how Home Rule can be abused—used to sidestep state laws, silence community voices, and concentrate power in the hands of a few. They were grateful to connect with Lone Tree neighbors who care deeply about transparency, accountability, and keeping their local government truly of, by, and for the people.

La Junta: Real Conversations, Real Solutions

“We got to sit down with Democrat @PadoraforCO,” one attendee shared — “John is running for CO‑04, Boebert’s seat.” They talked about protecting local healthcare, supporting ag workers, and ensuring that the voices of small towns—like La Junta and beyond—aren’t ignored by Congress.

Loveland: Our First Town Hall — Turning Apathy Into Action

John hosted his first Town Hall in Loveland, bringing together community members to talk openly about the local and national issues that matter most.

From kitchen-table concerns to the national fight for democracy, the conversation covered it all — including how to defeat Lauren Boebert, push back against rising authoritarian overreach, and, most importantly, reignite civic engagement in a time of growing apathy.

It was an energizing night of real talk, real solutions, and a shared belief that CO‑04 deserves better — and together, we can make it happen.

Bennett: Real Conversations, Real Solutions

He met with the mayor and community leaders to discuss Bennett’s biggest challenges and opportunities — including how the town is managing rapid population growth and preparing for the future. With more families moving in and pressure mounting on local roads and transit, it’s clear that serious federal investment is needed to upgrade transportation infrastructure and ensure the town can grow sustainably.

John listened to concerns about strained resources, limited access, and the fear that smaller towns like Bennett — with just 4,500 residents — will be left behind without real representation. He’s committed to fighting for rural communities that need a seat at the table and a voice in how federal dollars are spent.

Parker: No Kings

John joined the No Kings demonstration in Parker two Saturdays ago in protest of Donald Trump’s farce of a military parade. Trump wants people to think he is a tough dictator, but John knows that both Trump and Boebert are just insecure wannabes who use their office for fame and wealth.

Why It Matters

• Real leadership in action: John isn’t running on soundbites. He’s showing up — at kitchen tables, local cafés, town halls — listening to the challenges you face.
• Building a grassroots team: Every volunteer, every conversation, every signature inscribed is building the foundation for a winning campaign—powered by YOU.
• True local representation: Lauren Boebert left her old district after a tough reelection, but John is right here—where he’s always been, working with this community.
