Social Distancing Candidate interviews with the Colorado Chamber of Commerce. Very impressed with the quality of candidates we saw today- might even have some future Leadership in the bunch. Round two tomorrow.

Today is a day that we commemorate the abolition of slavery in the United States and celebrate Black history and culture. TAG pledges to continue the conversation on racial inequality and reflect on the work that still needs to be done.

Proud to have this gentleman as the bill sponsor for one of our clients. And even more grateful for the work he is doing at his 'other job' while the legislature is out of session.

A Colorado lawmaker is on the frontlines of the coronavirus fight as an ER nurse: “You can see a tsunami coming” State Rep. Kyle Mullica's dual role as an ER nurse gives him a unique perspective on the public health crisis, seeing first-hand the toll of the COVID-19 disease.

Proud of the work our Colleague Tom does with The Spring Institute!

Thank you to Village Exchange Center and Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning who helped us deliver 36 boxes of food to Hope Communities families and neighbors. Many food banks throughout Denver are in need of volunteers and supplies (baggies, bags, boxes). but we are just at the beginning of need for many of our most vulnerable families and individuals.

While the legislature is closed for at least two weeks, many aspects of State Government are continuing, including the regulatory processes.

Last week was a great week for InterMountain. We would like to welcome two new clients- the Rude Park Community Nursery, and the Association of Surgical Technologists. We look forward to working with two wonderful organizations!

While this is a good preview of some of the big-ticket issues for the legislative session which starts tomorrow, often a smaller issue can be extremely important to a particular client or entity. Having representation means always having a voice when an issue is important to you!

Interesting article about the legislative priorities for the incoming House and Senate majorities. The Legislature convenes January 4th!

Not business as usual: Colorado Democrats plan to rewrite rules for workers now that they control the statehouse From paid family leave to equal pay for women, Democrats in the state legislature are busy preparing bills on an array of topics that would fundamentally change workers’ benefits in Colorado.…

We are excited to work with the Polis Administration and the new and returning legislators! Congratulations to all who ran for office to serve the public.

Happy to host the Joint House and Senate Transportation committees with our client E-470. Very interesting and informative presentation and tour of their facilities.

Happy to attend the CACI Governor Candidate Forum with our client Union Pacific yesterday. Crowded stage, lots of interesting ideas for the state. One of them will likely be Governor in a year.

Always good to get to know the staff at the Capitol. You might find that the person running the front desk in the legislative office suite just happened to have written the School Finance Act in 1983.

Great presentation by our client E-470 Public Highway Authority at the Joint House/Senate Local Government committee this morning. We were happy to host House Chair Lebsock and Senate Chair Martinez-Humenik for a tour in December, and they both had nice things to say about the E-470 operations.
