Colorado's San Luis Valley struggles with food insecurity. 1 in 4 residents uses the network of 15 food banks spread across an area the size of Massachusetts. Organizers say they often feel forgotten by the Front Range. So #HeyNext viewers raised $73,782 to fill those food banks. Image
The Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley is part of the non-profit @LaPuenteHome. They run lean with *one* paid employee. The food bank locations are run by volunteers. As always on Word of Thanks, I'm matching the first 50 $5 donations here: coloradogives.org/9caresSLVFoodB… Image
Coordinators say the rate of food bank usage in the Valley is double the statewide average. Thank you for showing our neighbors there that all of Colorado cares. Next viewers have now given $800,000+ to small to mid-size non-profits through Word of Thanks since June. Image

NEW: Rep. Lauren Boebert claims credit for projects in Colorado even when she votes against the bills funding them. Boebert said in our #CO4 debate that she would still have voted no if she was the deciding vote, killing those projects she claims credit for now. #copolitics
#CO4 candidate Deborah Flora has called for parents to pull their kids from public elementary/middle schools. @cologop recently told parents to pull kids from all public schools. I asked Flora what America would be like without public education. She wouldn't directly answer.
#CO4 candidate State Rep Mike Lynch says he did not make a mistake in judgment in not disclosing his drunk driving arrest to his Republican colleagues when they were electing him House Minority Leader. He resigned after it became public.

NEW: Former Trump attorney @JennaEllisEsq agrees to a three-year suspension of her Colorado law license for a felony guilty plea in Georgia for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. #copolitics
@JennaEllisEsq "Attorneys are often disbarred after being convicted of a felony, particularly where the conviction flows from criminal acts committed while acting as an attorney," the stipulation reads. "However, disbarment is not automatic, even for felony convictions."
@JennaEllisEsq "While disbarment is the presumptive sanction for [Ellis'] misconduct, it is significant that her criminal culpability was due to her conduct as an accessory, not as a principal," the stipulation says.

NEW: @msudenver says its own police force ziptied doors when protesters were in Tivoli Hall, not protesters. MSU Denver President Janine Davidson made the false claim in a public message to the community. #copolitics
@msudenver MSU Denver's false claim that protesters had locked doors with zipties came in a note from the President titled: "Protesters escalate tactics." This comes after @DenverPolice said that they would not sweep the pro-Palestinian encampment on the quad unless the situation escalated. Image
@msudenver @DenverPolice The false claim about protesters ziptying doors was removed from the MSU Denver's online statement without note or correction. After 9NEWS inquired, an online correction notice was added. The correction does not specify the source of the misinformation: @AurariaCampus Police. Image

NEW: #CO4 candidate State Rep @richard_holtorf unleashed a misogynist attack on GOP primary rival @laurenboebert today, saying Boebert dresses like a prostitute. "High heels, short skirt, low-cut blouse," Holtorf said on KNUS. "She needs to learn how to dress." #copolitics
Holtorf compared Boebert's outfits to prostitutes walking Colfax in Denver. "My five daughters, if they stood in front of me... dressed like Boebert, I would be disgusted," Holtorf said.
Holtorf is struggling to gain traction in a six-way GOP primary to replace Republican Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th Congressional District (DougCo, Loveland, Eastern Plains). Boebert holds an enormous fundraising and name ID advantage.
