โ€œLongmont for Everybodyโ€ isnโ€™t just a sloganโ€”itโ€™s a vision. Weโ€™re at a crossroads. Will Longmont be a city only for the wealthy, or a place where nurses, teachers, and working families can still build a life? Thatโ€™s the fight. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m running. #LongmontForEverybody

Talk about energy! The Boulder County Fair Parade is one of my favorite events every year. Weโ€™re building a Longmont rooted in community, compassion, and progress, and Iโ€™m so thankful to our amazing volunteers for walking beside me

Letters: Meaning of liberty; Jake Marsing; U.S., Israel The elusive definition of liberty The praxis exam to secure high school English teaching credentials required me to review the Transcendental works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Bโ€ฆ

Humbled to open the paper this morning and see a letter from my old boss, Sen. Mike Foote. Grateful for his support, mentorship, and the years we spent serving Longmont together.

Thank you so much. Iโ€™d be incredibly honored by the Boulder Area Labor Councilโ€™s endorsement, but even if I donโ€™t get it, my commitment to the working people of our city is deep. Iโ€™m in this for them, and for open, transparent government to meet their needs and meet this moment.

Tomorrow is City Councilโ€™s Open Forum, a chance to speak directly to your leaders. Iโ€™m running to make that kind of access more common. More town halls, faster responses, and real accountability. If you believe in that vision, get involved at jakemarsing.com

(Guest opinion) Alejandra Beatty: Minimum wage discussion lacks representation On Aug. 24, Longmont is set to hold a โ€œfishbowlโ€ discussion about minimum wage increases. On paper, this sounds like progress. In reality, thereโ€™s serious cause for concern โ€” and anyone in our commโ€ฆ

Too many workers have been left out of Longmontโ€™s wage conversations. Alejandra Beatty says thereโ€™s โ€œno championโ€ for them on council. If I get the chance to serve, Iโ€™ll be that champion. Her piece is worth a read: www.timescall.com/2025/07/19/g...

Longmontโ€™s working families are getting squeezed and so are our small businesses. Winchellโ€™s hasnt been able to catch a break facing red tape and sky-high costs just to reopen their doors.

This isnโ€™t just about donuts, though, itโ€™s about fighting for a city that works for all of us.

Longmontโ€™s open space isnโ€™t just beautiful โ€” itโ€™s protected. Or at least, it should be.

I oppose the Distel land swap. If Iโ€™m elected, Iโ€™ll vote to keep open space open. #openspace #longmontforeverybody

I just gave to Jake Marsing! I'm helping Jake build a Longmont that works for everybody and elect a council member who puts working people first.

If you believe in mission, and want to help a working dad who wants to be the kind of progressive leader we need in local government, I hope youโ€™ll chip in today.

I missed the part of the gospels where Jesus called on his followers to take healthcare away from the poor, food away from children, and give tax cuts to rich people.

Must have been out of town that Sunday.

I was honored to be able to stand in #solidarity with my UCFW brethren and bring water and food to striking @safeway.bsky.social workers at the Ken Pratt store. They shared stories of worsening, unsafe conditions, and a clear message: do not shop there until they have a contract.

Childcare and early childhood education is infrastructure. It should be treated as such, and itโ€™s time we fight to lower costs for working families, improve access, and make it easier for providers to succeed. I hope youโ€™ll come to our town hall on Saturday at 10:00 to talk about your experiences.

This is a turning point for campaigns across the country. The cynical politics of the status quo is dead. Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his entire movement. In Longmont, weโ€™re committed to fighting that same fight for working people every single day.

Our movement to build a Longmont for Everybody is gaining momentumโ€”record-breaking support, big endorsements, and real energy. But that means weโ€™ve got a target on our back. We wonโ€™t win the support of big money special interests. We need you to finish June strong: secure.actblue.com/donate/jake-...

I'm Going to a House Party to Support Jake Marsing for Longmont City Council Join Jake in launching a campaign to build a Longmont for Everybody on 05/03 from at the Shaffer's Home

Early childhood education in Longmont costs more on average than in-state CU tuition. Families are hurting. Providers are stretched. I believe this is a solvable problem.

Join me and Kaycee Headrick for a town hall on June 28 to talk about how.

In Longmont, we donโ€™t stand for kings. We stand for democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law. Proud to be among the thousands out here supporting this movement and ready to carry the fight forward on council. #NoKings

This morningโ€™s earthquake is a stark reminder of the dangers fracking poses to community safety. When I worked in the legislature, I worked hard to pass SB181, which gave local governments some ability to protect local communities. On council, Iโ€™ll make sure we do so.

Longmontโ€™s always been a place where working families could build a life and buy a homeโ€”but that promise is at risk. Iโ€™m proudly pro-housing, and we need more for-sale homes so folks can put down roots. Letโ€™s build a Longmont that works for everybody.
