He's been a champion ski racer, a principal, a state senator and the head of a major nonprofit. Now he's focused on the mayor's office.
, a statewide measure that aims to raise around $300 million per year for affordable housing in Colorado. And that falls in line with Johnston's major campaign focuses: housing and ending homelessness in his first term as mayor.
We have a moral obligation to provide safe, stable, dignified housing so we have a place to move people to. My experience working on this issue for the past several years has shown that when you offer people experiencing homelessness the opportunity to receive housing, they overwhelmingly choose to take it, which is why I am embracing a housing-first policy to address homelessness in the city.
When it comes to safety, we need to invest in prevention, early intervention and common-sense gun laws. That means making after-school and summer programs accessible to all kids and allowing schools to have a school resource officer if they want one. It means investing in interventions and counseling when a kid is caught with a gun. And it means enacting common-sense gun laws, like a waiting period and strong enforcement of red flag laws to reduce gun violence.I will vote yes on the proposal.
We need to ensure that Denver’s streets work for everyone, whether you commute by car, bus, bike, or you walk. That starts with reimagining the way people move around our city by building both market rate and affordable-housing units near transit-oriented developments so folks have access to public transit and increased walkability.
