🚨NEW AD:
I've protected our healthcare and abortion rights. But my primary opponent just voted for massive Medicaid cuts — all while raising his own pay.
The stakes couldn't be higher. #CO08 deserves a champion who will protect our care, not join Gabe Evans in ripping it away.
📺FIRST TV AD: I grew up in a mobile home, raised by my single mom. That's why I've worked to fully fund our schools & make sure every Coloradan has the opportunity to succeed.
In Congress, I'll take on Donald Trump, hold ICE accountable, and end the BS in Washington, DC. #CO08
Cannot thank enough the team behind this work and the volunteers who got it done in record time. Become a part of the Team Bird flock at https://t.co/ui7k9Fg1bw
We just submitted our petition signatures to qualify for the ballot!
Thank you to the 2,464 Coloradans from all three counties who signed & our incredible volunteers and team who knocked doors in the cold to get this done. Together, we're going to flip #CO08 from red to blue.
Thank you, Westminster, for the honor to serve you. Together, we passed 300+ bills to improve Coloradans' lives.
Jan 5 will be my last day in the state House. HD29 deserves a rep fully focused on session & I'll work full time to flip #CO08 to stop the attacks on our communities.
Big news – We outraised the entire #CO08 five candidate primary field, including raising more than three of our opponents *combined* 💪
Together, we'll fire Gabe Evans for voting to strip away Coloradans' health care coverage and raising costs on families.
In just 2 weeks, we've earned over 90 endorsements from elected officials and community leaders and raised over $300k. Together, we'll flip #CO08 from red to blue and elect a rep who will do what's right for Colorado – not rip away healthcare coverage like Gabe Evans.
I’m honored to endorse Shannon Bird for Congressional District 8! Shannon knows what it takes to deliver real results. From funding public education to increasing affordable housing, Shannon has always looked out for our community.

Growing up, I saw my family struggle to make ends meet. So it makes me angry when Republicans like Gabe Evans sit back and stay silent while Donald Trump and Elon Musk make life more expensive for all of us.
We deserve better.
I’m Shannon Bird, and I’m running for Congress.
Today we passed Colorado’s balanced budget for next year. We prioritized K-12 school funding, affordable access to higher education and access to healthcare for Colorado’s most vulnerable populations. We made thoughtful cuts while protecting the things that matter.
Here's a sentence that hasn't been uttered at the Colorado Capitol in eight years: Substantial construction-defects reform is on track to pass the #coleg. Here's what @ShannonBird4CO has done to make that happen: https://t.co/V7FkYGveX9
I’m Michael Dougherty, and I’m running for Colorado Attorney General.
I’m running to keep our communities safe, protect your rights, and fight and win the most important battles against Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The fight starts now.
Iterations of both of these construction-defects bills died last year in #coleg. But this year, @GovofCO is jumping in to back the @ShannonBird4CO bill, and it appears House leadership is on board with that too: https://t.co/pXuKUv5Ga1
More people need the opportunity to buy a home. Historically, the most affordable option is a condominium. My bill will make this a reality for more people.

Rest in Peace Tom McVie.
A legend of the sport and our community, he was the first ever AHL coach in Utica. Tom was an outstanding leader, and an incredible human being.

“I am thankful to everyone who is supporting the campaign, and I look forward to continuing to connect with the Denver community to create a safer and more just Denver together."
“Our campaign’s remarkable fundraising success underscores Denverites’ commitment to safety and fairness, so that we can ensure our city is a vibrant, welcoming and safe home for all of us,” said Walsh. https://t.co/8yo9aaspFZ via @colo_politics
@JeffcoTranscrip “I really hope that we can get to a tone and a tenor on the school board and at those meetings, where we’re all on the same team trying to support our schools and our students so they can be the best that they can be. And that doesn’t have to be divisive,” Kenworthy said.
@JeffcoTranscrip With the election dust starting to settle, Jefferson County Public School’s newest board members, Michelle Applegate and Erin Kenworthy, say they’re ready to put aside politics and get down to addressing the issues that resonated with the community on the campaign trail.
@JeffcoTranscrip “Come have a conversation with us,” she( Applegate) said. “We aren’t always going to agree, but it can be done in a respectful manner where we can walk away and feel good about the effort and the conversation.”
