RSVP for the event here ([link removed])

It will be moderated by the Fort Morgan Times and covered by CPR News, Colorado Politics, and The Denver Post.


** Spanish Language website and billboards up!
------------------------------------------------------------

We are proud to have unveiled a series of 3 Spanish language billboards in Greeley and Longmont. Additionally we have also unveiled our spanish language website ([link removed]) .

For far too long Latinx voices have not been heard in CO-4. When hard laborers including Saul Longoria Sanchez died at the JBS plant in Greeley Ken Buck who's in the pocket of big business stayed silent. Buck paints all members of the Latinx community as unamerican even though they are just as American as he is and many families date back to before Colorado joined the Union.

Ike not only recognizes this but also realizes that the pandemic and economic crisis has hit the latinx community harder than most and that they have received less help than white communities. Ike will fight hard for every constituent equally, can you chip $5, $25, even $50 to help us expand our spanish language outreach efforts? ([link removed])
