Most campaigns spend money telling you about themselves. This one spends it fixing things.
Special election
November 3, 2026
Fix Crew Saturdays run every Saturday morning through October, somewhere in Denver. Anyone can work one. We rent the dumpster and buy the paint, you bring a morning, and something on a block is different by lunch. Bring the kids and bring the dog.
Every fix this campaign has to its name started with a note from a neighbor. We go stand on the corner, file it with the city by name and number, and put what we find on camera. Four have gone in that way, and the city has already closed two.
The address or the corner, and the thing that keeps getting missed.

Denver's Fair Elections Fund matches the first $50 of a qualifying contribution from a Denver resident at 9 to 1.
I have no interest in turning your $50 into $500 for high-priced consultants, social media spam, and mailers headed for the recycling bin. Denver gets enough of that every election.
We'll put as much of the match as the rules allow into work Denver can see. Denver people get hired, and the receipt goes public when the job is done.
None of it turns on until 100 different Denverites have each given $5 or more. Five dollars counts toward that hundred exactly as much as $415 does.
The campaign takes no corporate or PAC money and answers to Denverites.
The work happens whether or not we win.
Give $50Or five dollars, which counts the same toward the hundred. ActBlue takes the card, and it asks for your address because the city checks that you live in Denver.
The note counts whether you give money or not.
Give us the location and the thing that keeps getting missed.
Denver labor and Denver businesses. Paid fairly.
Work we accept is finished within the week.
I grew up the only kid of a single mom who did the best she could against a stacked deck. When I moved here at 19, it was because Denver had promise for a kid who didn't have all the answers.
I started writing about Denver in 2010, then spent a decade running event operations where a bad plan fails in public.
I'm running because City Hall should have to pass the same test.
