Colton for Park Board District 5

The University of Minnesota only functions because of its workers. I stand with the U of M service workers of Teamsters Local 320 who are striking for better wages, more staffing, and a fair negotiation process. They deserve the same respect, and raise, as other university unions.

My name is Colton Baldus and I approve this message because I believe that people and parks come before profit!

Had an incredible time meeting with the amazing volunteers from Friends of Lake Hiawatha

Thank you so much for showing me the work you do on the ground. From cleaning up litter to restoring natural habitats, your passion for a clean and healthy Lake Hiawatha is truly inspiring.

From Whittier to West Bank, Corcoran to Kingfield, Minneapolis is fed up with Mayor Frey's broken promises and endless vetoes.

When I say that we could end homelessness in Minneapolis, but we have chosen not to. I'm serious.

The money and skills exist in this country. Tax the rich, feed (and house) the poor

On labor day I stood in solidarity at MSP airport with workers to say no to billionaires and corporations who back the MAGA right, threaten our democracy, and cut public services that people rely on. Expect the same solidarity with workers when I'm park commissioner.

Couldn't have asked for a better canvassing partner than my sister Rosie! Had a successful afternoon canvassing in Beck46 talking to folks about inclusive park programming, year round staffing for park workers, and public safety in our parks. Change is made one door at a time!

There are 400 million guns in this country. More guns than people.

In America, we are ten times more likely to be shot in a school or playground than any other developed nation.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

The shooting at Annunciation Catholic School is a devastating and tragic event and my heart goes out to the victims and their families. These kinds of senseless acts of violence have no place in our communities and neighborhoods.

There will be a vigil tonight 8pm at Lynnhurst Park for the victims.

Whenever I’ve participated in a clean up in a park there is one thing that myself and my co-workers always find, needles. When we are in the middle of an opioid crisis and an unhoused crisis this is something that sadly has become commonplace.

See my platform for all our neighbors.

I will fight for the board to hire additional cleaning staff, provided with proper training and PPE - to keep our parks safe and clean year round. Without labor, our parks fall apart. We will build a stronger, safer, and more inclusive park system together.

These issues are vital not just for our unions, but for all our neighbors who enjoy the park system. As commissioner, I will build public bathrooms in every park, open year round. Infrastructure improvements, built by union labor, will benifit us all.

Labor and justice for our park workers is at the core of my values. I was disgusted and disappointed with the Park Boards response to LiUNA! - where common sense demands for safety and fair wages were met with gag orders and intimidation.

We need fully funded, union-staffed parks with clean restrooms, shade trees, bike paths, and inclusive programming for all. Public spaces belong to all of us, and I'll fight to keep it that way.

Hi! I'm Colton Baldus, and I'm running for Park Board District 5 - because our parks should serve working people, not special interests.

We need a park board commissioner who stands with the workers that built our parks, not against them.
