Community Leaders
Dr. Stephany Rose Spaulding, Former US Senate Candidate, Colorado Springs
“From the first time I heard Lorena Garcia speak, I knew her passion for justice was just as ancestral as my own. Her analysis is conscientious and her love for community runs deep. Running beside her for U.S. Senate was one of the most valuable experiences in life that I’ve encountered to date, because iron definitely sharpens iron. If you truly want a progressive future for Colorado, one where all communities matter, where we are able to protect the sustainability of life on the planet, and equity is abundant then please join me in supporting Lorena Garcia.”

Lorena has the organizing record and devotion that tells us she will fight for a comprehensive Green New Deal. She is here to fight for our frontline communities by addressing climate change and human rights together.”

Her passion to improve the lives of others is an inspiration for hope and change, reminding us that we have tremendous power. Lorena is a visionary thinker, collaborative, works with lots of integrity and always stands up for the right thing even when it isn’t popular. I believe in Lorena’s big heart, dedication and ability to move the needle on issues that impact us the most.”
Mariana Galvez Seminario, Student and Local Activist

She is kind, sincere, trustworthy, down to earth, and accessible. She will listen to you and make you feel heard.”
Andres Martinez, High School Teacher and CEA Activist

Suzanne Crawford, Boulder Anti-Poverty Leader

Holly Herson, Candidate for Colorado House District 48
“I support Lorena Garcia for US Senate because we need more people in Federal office who represent the people of their districts. We need more women, more people of colour, and more young people. It is a proven fact that if little girls grow up seeing leaders who look like them, they are more likely to pursue positions of power as well. I support Lorena because her platform looks toward the future in a way that does not leave people behind. She is the ideal candidate for US Senate!”
Jeannette Angel, Denver County
“I believe strongly that Lorena understands in economic opportunity, meaningful education and health care for everyone, and that she will introduce and support legislation that will be beneficial to all Americans and be common-sense based and fact-based.”
Ean Tafoya – Climate Justice Activist and Leader
“I spend my life fighting for fairness through environmental justice, social justice and economic justice. Lorena Garcia has a proven track record of spending her entire life, since elementary school, fighting for these same issues and that is why I am proud to support her as our next United States Senator from Colorado. Lorena knows she alone cannot fix everything, but she will bring these values to the table and will always speak truth to power. After spending a weekend with her in rural Colorado, I am now more certain that she has the the best chance of beating Hickenlooper and Gardner — and is the Green New Deal champion Colorado and this entire country deserves. There is a movement sweeping the country; join me in sending the first woman Senator to Congress from Colorado.”
Arnie Schultz, Community Activist
