In this issue:
Guillermo Diaz for HD1
Guillermo Diaz knows Colorado House District 1.
He has spent most of his life in southwestern Denver County and
currently works in the construction industry in the area.
Diaz is a first-generation American and recognizes how the United States is the best place to live.
He believes HD1 is still a great place to raise his kids.
Guillermo is campaigning to be the next Representative of House District 1.
Although he is new to politics, he has always voted with his conservative values.
He believes many Latinos are conservative.
Walking door to door, he has been encountering Spanish speakers and is talking with them about their concerns.
Latino citizens of Colorado have the same complaints as everyone else:
Crime is at the top of everyone's list.
People who have lived in the area reminisce about a time when HD1 was red.
But control by the Left has taken its toll.
Guillermo Diaz is willing to fight for less nonsense in our government,
including bolstering law enforcement, auditing state agencies for corruption and waste,
and passing pro-school choice legislation at the state level.
"Democrat policies have failed our community for the past twenty years.
Constituents are ready for Republicans to restore public safety, affordability
and expand educational choice around Colorado. Our time is now."
Guillermo is currently looking for volunteers to help him turn Southwest Denver red.

Denver Adds Trash Fees Early 2023
Did you know that Denver has a Chief Climate Officer and
an Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR)?
This office is behind Denver's move to begin charging over
180,000 households for trash collection next year.
Residents will be charged for the size of their trash receptacle.
Small, medium, and large containers carry a $9, $13, and $21 cost respectively.
To encourage more recycling, Denver's government will drop the charges for recycling and compost collection.
At this time, Denver does not recycle cardboard, which can be a large portion of household waste.
In a related article, Denver is planning on increasing recycling by 100%.
They believe charging more for larger sizes of trash receptacles will encourage people to recycle more.
"Through focused efforts over the last ten years, Denver has been able to increase
its diversion rate from 13% in 2010 to 26% in 2020," said Grace Rink, Denver's Chief Climate Officer.
"While we have made progress, this rate has remained stagnant and falls well below the
national average of 34%. Reaching a higher diversion rate will require new strategies,
and this plan will get us there."
(Rink does not site where she obtained the 34% national trash diversion figure.)
An alphabet of government agencies are pushing for 70% diversion rate for recyclable items by 2032.
They believe these efforts are akin to removing 600,000 cars from the roads,
another statistic they do not source.
On its face, diverting trash to be recycled is a noble idea.
However, we know recycling does not pay for itself and can be expensive.
There is no such thing as free recycling, so we believe those
trash receptacles prices will increase.
