Inbox: @JasonCrowCO6 on the COVID relief bill, "As imperfect as it is, it will help provide relief for the millions of families and small businesses who simply can’t wait any longer." #CO06 #copolitics

Aurora, we officially have a new mayor.

.@RepJasonCrow's staff made their first weekly visit to the @GEOGroup facility in Aurora yesterday. The full report his staff filed is here: crow.house.gov/sites/crow.ho…

Four Aurora City Council members say Trump’s delay of a mass deportation effort are tactics that “only serve to incite fear and further exacerbate this suffering.” I’m told the entire council was provided this letter. #copolitics

UPDATED: A bumpy start for oil and gas operator agreements in Aurora tonight. One agreement skates by, another iced for now. sentinelcolorado.com/news/me…

Tonight during the Aurora City Council study session, council members agreed to forward two oil and gas operator agreements to a regular meeting for approval. Public comment at tonight's meeting has mostly focused on those OAs with ConocoPhillips and Axis.

The big thing at Aurora City Council (study session) tonight? #coleg's SB181. The city already decided to allow operator negotiations. But tonight they're focusing on what oil and gas regulation rule shifts to local gov will mean for Aurora. #copolitics

Adams County Commissioners vote unanimously to approve oil and gas application moratorium. #copolitics

That’s @RepJasonCrow and @AllisonHiltz. They were just turned away from an impromptu tour of the ICE facility in Aurora. #copolitics

It's still early on, but we're up to three mayoral candidates in Aurora. A new list from the city clerk shows @RyanLFrazier has pulled a packet. He announced his intention to run last month. #copolitics sentinelcolorado.com/0trendi…

Trump says he wants compromise, will take $5.7b for a border wall and give in to deportation protections. @RepJasonCrow says “this is not compromise.” #copolitics

City lawmakers were watching this decision closely out here in Aurora. “The public’s health and safety should always come before the industry’s profits..." says @nicoleforaurora. More on that and recent oil and gas clashes in Aurora here: sentinelcolorado.com/0trendi…

"We had to pass out a lot of Kleenex at this meeting." This morning @JasonCrowCO6 held a roundtable meeting with federal workers who aren't being paid because of the #shutdown. I spoke with Crow and one worker after. Story coming. #copolitics

In an interview with @SentinelColo, Gov. Polis said today is moving in day at the Capitol for his office. What’s he bringing in? His own dining room table for the meeting space, a smaller desk than Hickenlooper had and some of his own art. #copolitics #coleg

.@JasonCrowCO6 fires back at Trump after his address to nation on border security: “I believe in smart, effective border security, but I will not waste billions of taxpayer money on an expensive and ineffective border wall.” #copolitics

Hick is a private citizen now and dad jokes are ON! “This state rocks and I can say that as a geologist.” #copolitics

"So I'm bringing back (insert bill here)" a lot the last month or so. What the Aurora-region delegation is up to in #coleg this session: sentinelcolorado.com/0trendi…

Congressman Coffman is at Aurora City Hall today to honor Comitis Crisis Center. There’s obviously been questions about the election. Coffman says he’s proud to have been able to break the narrative that Republicans are anti-immigrant. #copolitics @SentinelColo

I’m at Abs Ethiopian restaurant in Aurora. The Dem bus tour is making a stop. @SenBennetCO walks in and somebody goes “he loves us all the time!” Bennet replies, “Yes, I love you all the time.” Polis, Crow and Weiser also expected to be here. #copolitics
