My name is Blake Garner. I'm running for office because I believe we deserve better from our government. For too long, our issues have merely been paid lip service while our communities suffer. Colorado Springs could thrive as a hub for business, technology, and culture if we'd stop ignoring the problems staring us in the face. Addressing climate change and water scarcity with investments in renewable energy and improved infrastructure, fully funding our schools so our children are given the best chance to succeed, and caring for our community with affordable housing and healthcare is how we get there. We deserve a government that works for us, and I'm ready to fight for it.
  • Colorado can lead the way on addressing climate change, securing individual rights, and providing for it's people
  • It's time for the government to work for the people, not the corporations
  • There are common sense solutions to many of the issues we face. It is up to us to implement them.
Climate, Justice, Housing, Infrastructure, Education, Reproductive Rights, Worker's Rights, and Individual Rights.
