Hello @VP / @Mike_Pence. Heard you’re visiting my hometown for the holiday. Stay tuned for a story a day of things that would be different if you had chosen to lead and address and instead of ignore and minimize the COVID-19 pandemic. #COVID19

Good morning @VP / @Mike_Pence. Make sure you pack a mask. You’ll be spending the holidays in a mandatory mask zone. And as you fly into Eagle and drive up valley, you’ll pass by a couple of schools - CO saw it’s first decrease in enrollment since the 80s.

Are you settled in @VP / @Mike_Pence ? Looking at what to do while you are here? Pls note that an event producer based in Vail had to furlough all their employees & go dark after 26 yrs of producing events across the world & for Vail. No plan from you= they couldn’t plan events.

It’s apres ski time @VP / @Mike_Pence ! If a year ago you and your team hadn’t minimized the seriousness of covid-19, we would have been better prepared and possibly could have avoided losing one of our cherished apres ski performers. Our community lost a good friend.

Blue bird sky and fresh snow for @VP / @Mike_Pence this morning. Just the thing to throw on a brochure. Sadly, 60 marketing jobs were lost b/c of #covid19 cuts across VR resorts. These local jobs can’t be replaced.

Christmas in the Rockies is wonderful, right @VP / @Mike_Pence? For locals, figuring out holidays is feeling harder than ever. Our food bank supports 4 times the number of people it did pre-covid. While you said this would be over by Easter, we tried to fill pantry shelves.

.@VP / @Mike_Pence, planning for a cocktail before dinner tonight? It is taking my friends in the service industry 3 times the work to make the same money as a year ago. So make sure you tip extra big-your lack of leadership made this a much longer hardship than it ever had to be

Sunday can mean reflection for many. In the first months of this pandemic the state saw calls to crisis centers increase by 48%. We just lost out 11th neighbor to death by suicide. We needed everyone to step-up in this crisis. You, @VP / @Mike_Pence hid.

If you take in the view from your deck @VP /@Mike_Pence, it is hard to tell where the town ends & the mountain begins. Vail Resorts reported a 50% decline in revenue. That impacts everyone who calls this place home. This was a national crisis and we needed national leadership.
