My name is Amanda Gonzalez, and I'm a Democrat running for Secretary of State in Colorado. Four years ago today, Trump made it clear he doesn't respect the integrity of our elections — and as an election official, I have to fight back. Will you join me? secure.actblue.com/donate/am…

Whether it's democracy in our workplaces or in our communities, we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I'm grateful unions like @SEIU105 and @COWINS_union are ready to stand firm for these values. #UnionStrong
Replying to @SEIU105
💪 We’ll keep standing up and fighting back against every attack on workers, our families, and our communities. This country belongs to the people who make it run, not the billionaires trying to rule it.

Such a pleasure talking with folks in #LoganCounty about why experience matters. Your next Sec. of State should be someone who has actually run elections—and I’ve done just that. CO deserves a leader who knows how to protect access to the ballot and keep our elections secure.

Thinking of Senator Hoffman, his wife, and everyone mourning Speaker Hortman and her husband. An attack on a democratically elected leader is not just a personal tragedy for those directly impacted—it is an attack on our democracy itself.

When DC gets frustrating, I look to rooms like the Larimer Dems' Fund Our Fight Dinner—neighbors organizing, fundraising, and fighting for the future they believe in. This is what democracy really looks like.

“Trump is once again trying to rig democracy in his favor by making it harder for Americans, especially Latinos, to vote,” said Katharine Pichardo-Erskine, President and CEO of Latino Victory. 🔗 bit.ly/3XuvqlS

Trump is fanning the flames of election conspiracy theories with performative politics dressed up as policy. This doesn’t protect democracy -it undermines it by pushing fear, falsehoods & voter suppression. I will always fight to protect every eligible voter’s right to be heard.
President Trump signs executive order on election integrity, which will include putting a citizenship question on the federal voting form.

Fair maps. Fair representation. The CO Supreme Court just affirmed that Weld County must follow our state’s redistricting laws. Voters should pick their politicians—not the other way around.

"Reorg" is when local Dems come together to organize, elect leaders, and mobilize their communities. Today in Weld, Adams, & JeffCo, I saw firsthand the power of local action. While national politics feels chaotic, real change starts here. Excited to keep working with you all!

I testified against a bill that claimed to improve voter roll accuracy but would’ve done the opposite—risking eligible voters being removed Don’t be fooled. CO’s elections are already safe & secure. Voter suppression hides in bureaucracy—I’ll keep fighting to protect your vote

Solidarity with @UFCW_7 workers on strike for better staffing & safer conditions at King Soopers! As a former union member (@CWAUnion & @DenverGuild) I stand with our grocery workers. Dropped off donuts to show my support—unions make workplaces better for us all! ✊🏽 #UnionStrong

Election offices (and the zoo?) got a concerning email from DHS, the federal agency we rely on for accurate security information. This is the chaos election officials will face for the next 4 years. You can count on me to protect our elections and the people who run them.

As the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder, I have real experience running elections. When people are trying to harm our democracy, it’s more important than ever to have a Secretary of State who knows how to run accessible and secure elections. #copolitics
