Alex Valdez represents Colorado’s House District 5, which encompasses the urban core of Denver. He was elected in 2018 to succeed former House Speaker Crisanta Duran. Alex Valdez was born and raised in the Denver Metro area. After the recession hit, he founded a solar business with a grassroots campaign out of a co-working space in the River North Art District (RiNo). Today, his dedication and hard work have helped that company flourish into one of Colorado’s largest solar companies.
No person living in Colorado should be afraid to access resources such as law enforcement, public schools, and hospitals for fear of deportation and having their family separated. As a nation of immigrants, we must ensure basic human rights for every person regardless of citizenship. We must protect DACA, and ensure there is a road to citizenship.
I will fight against attempts by the current presidential administration to apprehend or detain Coloradans. I will stand in the way of any effort to create fear in our community.
