Today, Clerk Paul López hosted state and local officials and national leaders from the NALEO Educational Fund to explore strategies to deepen civic engagement and participation, and highlight the strength of Denver’s partnership approach. Thank you to La Brewjula Cafe for hosting us today!

Thank you, Denver City Council!
The lobbying reform measure we are partnering with Council on passed yesterday’s Community Planning & Housing committee hearing and will move on to a first reading Monday, June 1 in front of the full Council.

This proposal will help you see who is influencing decisions, what they’re working on, and who they’re meeting with. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4urbzCv

Clerk Paul López issued the following statement after Gov. Jared Polis granted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters clemency:

“Our elections are already under assault by the Trump administration and Americans deserve protectors of our democracy, not accomplices in its demise. I am disgusted by the lack of spine that Governor Polis has exhibited with this act and with his willingness to fall in line with a calculated undermining of free and fair elections.

His decision emboldens those who wish to damage our democratic process by sending the message that they can get away with it. It undermines people’s confidence in elections and the justice system, just as we are headed into a highly contested November midterm election.”

Love is love — and there’s no better time to make it official than at our yearly Pride Marriage Marathon!

Skip the stress and celebrate your love in a joyful, welcoming space. No appointments, just good vibes, happy tears, and unforgettable moments.
