Boulder County Democratic Party Statement on Ethics Review: Recent news regarding the Opportunity Caucus retreat has understandably raised concerns among many Coloradans. The Boulder County Democratic Party remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the highest ethical standards in public service. We support the Independent Ethics Commission’s review and trust its process to determine the facts and whether any additional remedies or actions are appropriate, beyond the Opportunity Caucus’ contribution to the Food Bank of the Rockies.

Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open hearing.
Let the truth come out, the American people deserve transparency — and we have a right to know if Trump incited or led an insurrection against our own country.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is standing up for his city, and for every resident who calls it home!
ICE must follow the law and respect everyone's rights.

While Republicans hand ICE a blank check, Democrats are fighting back and we won’t back down!
Photo of Mayor Brandon Johnson with the quote We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents' constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents. We will not stand for that in our city."

The environment isn’t just trees and oceans — it includes us. Tackling environmental issues early builds healthier communities, lowers healthcare costs, and keeps our planet beautiful.

Let’s talk about emissions — one piece of the conservation puzzle — and what they mean for our health ->

#climate
CLEAN AIR STRONG COMMUNITIES CUTTING EMISSIONS 2025 1) Colorado's biggest source of GHG emissions is: transportation, energy, and oil & gas production. 2)Fossil fuels release pollutants that worsen asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. 3)They also contribute to the spread of infectious diseases, contaminate water, and disrupt food supplies. See how our neighbors are affected BOCO Dems logo is in the top right corner There is a break down on the left showing sources of CO2 emissions. Sadat is from 202 Most is from Energy, then agriculture, IPPU and waste. (No numerical value) CLEAN AIR STRONG LUNGS 2025 • Over 10% of Coloradans have Asthma • Particulate from fossil fuels enters the body and lodges in the organs, causing strain - particularly in the heart. • Pollution from emissions and wildfire smoke (caused by rising temperatures) can trigger flare-ups. Everyone with lung or heart issues pays the price. • Cutting emissions = fewer smog days & fewer hospital visits = healthier breathing (and savings) for all of us. STAY COOL STAY DISEASE FREE B O 2022 • Rising greenhouse gases fuel dangerous heat waves. • Extreme heat puts kids, seniors, and workers at risk of heat stroke, heart strain, and dehydration. • Limiting emissions means safer summers and stronger communities. • Heat also expands the range of disease carrying insects, like ticks (spreading Lyme disease) & mosquitos (Dengue, Malaria, Zika).

Live stronger.

DA Michael Dougherty is centered in the flyer, behind him is a group of women, and behind them is a row of law enforcement officers. The wording reads: "District Attorney Michael Dougherty Know Your Rights Rally Speakers: Tom Mauser, Gun Violence Prevention Advocate Fatima Najar, Immigrant Rights Advocate Andrew Barton, Political Organizer.

The wording says "No Camps. Oct. 11 10:30 AM Join The Protest Hudson Correction Facility 3001 Juniper St. Hudson Co 80642 Stop the opening of concentration camps in Colorado"
