We’ve just got in a fresh order of yard signs! Email [email protected] with the subject line “yard sign” to request one now, or pick one up from the El Paso County Democratic Party at 1120 N. Circle Dr.! If you’ve already requested one, we’ll be reaching out shortly to arrange drop-off.

Now that we know who my Republican opponent will be in November, let's make the distinction clear: My opponent is a union buster who cancelled our teachers' contract in D-11, and is being bankrolled by the same big business interests that pick your pocket every day.

Join us next Saturday, July 11th for our general election kickoff canvass! Food & coffee will be provided, as will training if you’re new to canvassing! Sign up & find more details here: mobilize.us/s/pxWh4y

Thank you to everyone who’s come out to canvass with my campaign since April. Our crew of 52 volunteers have already knocked over 3,000 doors in HD-16! We’ll be taking the next two weeks off and returning on July 11th for our general election kickoff canvass! Sign up here: mobilize.us/s/pxWh4y

Check out this explainer on surveillance pricing! The legislature passed a bill this year to prohibit corporations from using your personal information to jack up prices or suppress your earnings. The governor vetoed it, but we’ll bring it back next year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVU1...

Today is Juneteenth, the most recently added Federal holiday. It marks the occasion when, in 1865, Federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX and notified people still enslaved there that slavery was no longer legal. It's a day of jubilee, when the last enslaved people were liberated. 1/7

Join us for our canvass this Saturday 6/20 at Nancy Lewis Park! This is our last canvass before the primary on June 30th, so if you've been meaning to come out and knock doors with us, now's your time! Register and find more details here: mobilize.us/s/WVb0sc

Honored to be endorsed by the Jane Fonda Climate PAC! Colorado is already feeling the impacts of climate change through drought, heatwaves, and wildfires. I’m proud of my record fighting for clean energy, cleaner air, and sustainability, and I’ll keep fighting when I’m back in office.

Loved marching in the Pikes Peak Pride parade and celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community’s resilience. Pride matters because shame and attacks still harm our people. I see you, I’ve got your back, and we’re going to win this seat back so I can keep fighting for you. 🌈

In November 1992, a controversial measure was passed that prohibited anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Known as Amendment 2 and born out of Colorado Springs, it led to Colorado being labeled the “hate state.” (1/5)

We’ve got totes! Show your support for the campaign and help spread the word while you’re out and about. We’re offering campaign tote bags to supporters who chip in with a suggested donation of $25. And all volunteers get one for free! (1/2)

I had a great time with friends old and new at Demfest and the Obama Gala yesterday! The voters have handed Colorado Democrats a mandate to govern, and in my view we should use it to fight for meaningful, systemic change. Primary ballots go out this week -- get yours in by June 30th!

We’ve got FOUR great ways to get involved with the campaign this week! I hope you’ll join me at one (or all) of the following events (1/5):

Please join me as well as Sherriff candidate Mateo Montoya-Collis and County Commissioner District 5 candidate Christian Seale for a meet and greet this Thursday! Let us know what’s on your mind, ask questions, and meet your neighbors!

Join me for a house party this Thursday in support of my campaign for HD-16! We’ll be gathering with neighbors and friends to talk about why I’m running and how we can build the grassroots power it will take to win. Refreshments provided! Register at mobilize.us/s/yHwkLW.

We’re hiring a part-time Field Director, to start in mid-July! Help us recruit volunteers, organize canvasses & phonebanks, and scale our voter outreach through Election Day. Job description: bit.ly/4uGa8jm

My friend and Secretary of State candidate Amanda Gonzalez is joining our canvass this Saturday at 10 AM at Otis Park! I’ve endorsed Amanda because voting rights are under attack, and her elections experience makes her ready to protect our democracy. Join us: mobilize.us/s/DdIoyN

Join us at one of our upcoming phonebanks to help reach voters across HD-16 and share why this campaign matters! ✅ No experience required. We’ll provide training. ✅ In-person and virtual options available ✅ All you need is a charged phone and a laptop if you have one.

A supporter is throwing a house party this Saturday in support myself and my dear friend Amy Paschal, who’s running for reelection in HD18! Come meet us, enjoy some refreshments, and help build support for two people-powered campaigns in Colorado Springs. Register here: mobilize.us/s/h0tV4H

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend to knock doors and spread the word about our campaign! Our next canvass is Saturday, May 16 at 10 AM at Wasson Park. New to canvassing? Come at 9:30 for training! Sign up here: linktr.ee/vigilforhd16canvasses

Last year, the D11 School Board dissolved our teachers’ union contract, which had been in place since 1968. Since then, hundreds of experienced teachers have left the district. I was proud to stand with educators yesterday as they stood up for better schools for students and educators alike.

Happy International Workers' Day! Today and every day, let's remember where our nation's wealth and prosperity actually come from -- workers! The wealth that pools around corporations and the ultra wealthy is not made by them, but rather by the countless working people who keep our society running.

In 2023, I spearheaded a new policy in Colorado: portable tenant screening reports. When you apply for a rental, you generally need to pay a screening fee, one per adult, to check your credit and screen for things like criminal records, bankruptcies, and evictions. 1/8

We’re at just about 1,000 doors knocked and we are just getting started! Join us for our next canvass this Saturday 5/2. We’ll be meeting at ZoneFIVE at 10 AM, but show up at 9:30 if you’re new to canvassing so we can provide training. Find more details and register here: mobilize.us/s/XpmLTA

Join us this Thursday for a meet and greet along with Sheriff candidate Mateo Montoya-Collis! Refreshments will be provided, and you’ll have an opportunity to meet the candidates and ask them any questions you may have. See you there!

I was honored to join my friend and Attorney General candidate David Seligman for this local event last night! David has been a tireless champion for the civil rights of workers, immigrants, and all Coloradans. You can learn more about his campaign and sign up to get involved at seligmanforag.com.

Happy Earth Day! In Colorado Springs, we cherish the natural beauty around us and have strong shared values around healthy living and appreciating the outdoors. I've always believed that we owe it to ourselves and future generations to actively lead the way in protecting our environment. 1/5

I’m excited to share that on Thursday, April 23rd, I’ll be joining Attorney General candidate and my friend David Seligman for a fundraiser at Goat Patch Brewing Company! You can RSVP for the event at secure.actblue.com/donate/selig...

Over the past week, volunteers like you knocked on over 500 doors in #ColoradoSprings to win back HD16, but we still have a long road ahead. Join us for our next canvass this Saturday, April 25th at 10 AM! No experience required. Sign up here: linktr.ee/vigilforhd16canvasses

In the past, some of my best legislation has come straight from the community. That’s why I’m kicking off a listening tour this weekend: to connect with you and hear what’s top of mind as I gear up to return to the Capitol next January. Register here: linktr.ee/stephvigillisteningtour

Many thanks to all of our amazing volunteers who came out to our canvass kickoff today 😍 Our next canvass is on 4/25, which you can register for here: mobilize.us/s/mKbojR And if you’d like to be set up to knock doors for the campaign on your own time, shoot us a message!

We have great community leaders in HD-16! Thank you so much to the precinct organizers who came out for our gathering yesterday. It was a great evening of folks getting trained, sharing knowledge and skills, and deepening our relationships for the big fight ahead.

These are war crimes he's talking about, no two ways about it. It was a bad idea to put a rapist and a fraudster in the Oval Office, and it's going about the way that we said it would if he got back into office. It's going to take a lot more than his removal to recover.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Honored to earn the endorsement of the Communications Workers of America CO/WY State Councils. As a proud CWA member (CIDU-CWA 7777!), this means a lot. HD-16 deserves a representative who stands with workers, and that’s exactly what I’ll do back in office.

While I’m glad to see that Tina Peters' conviction remains intact, it’s frustrating to see that her sentence could be reduced. She actively participated in Trump's attempt to delegitimize and overturn the 2020 election and is completely unrepentant about it. 1/4

Our canvass kickoff is next Saturday, April 11th at 9 AM! We’ll be knocking doors, talking to voters, and building the grassroots momentum it will take to win this race. Training will be provided, so no worries if you're new to canvassing! You can find more details here: bit.ly/4e0APd8

What the Trump administration is doing to USAFA, overall, is unconscionable. Between the mass layoffs of civilian faculty and the trans military ban that has left multiple graduates stranded without an officer commission, he's been petty and destructive. 1/8

@stephvigil.bsky.social I’m greatly saddened by the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversation therapy for minors. Conversion therapy is widely discredited by medical professionals. Being gay or trans or queer isn’t a disease and doesn’t need to be “cured.” 1/4

March 31st is a real date, and it’s also the last day of a finance reporting period. This first report of the year is really important: it’s a major way that we can demonstrate strong early support. Pitch in by midnight tonight and help us build momentum! secure.actblue.com/donate/vigil...

Check out this draft Safety Action Plan the city has put out! It's not quite a Vision Zero plan, which I would love to see, but it is built on a “safe system” approach, which is far more effective than relying on individual responsibility. You can give feedback on the SAP now through April 2nd!

A lot of people have noticed that we’ll have some uncontested county offices this November, and I want to weigh in with a nuanced point of view. I’ll specifically highlight the Coroner’s office, and why it’s actually preferable to let this race go contested. 1/6

I was horrified to learn that ICE is operating “hold rooms” across Colorado, including here in Colorado Springs. ICE should be abolished, and enforcement limited to only what’s necessary for public safety. This system is rooted in racism and xenophobia, harming our diverse community.

Earlier this year, I said no to a campaign contribution for the first time. Some PACs who offered money have funding sources that I don’t want to associate with, like fossil fuels or private prisons. $450 of small donations from ordinary people matters much more. Donate $5/10/25 to fuel our win!

HD-16 was once written off as “deep red.” Since 2020, we've proved that wrong by fighting for workers, renters, and young people. I’m honored to again be the Democratic nominee and headed to the general election. Let’s win this seat back. Let’s ride ✌️

Check out this interview posted by the Colorado Springs Area Labor Council where I explain real benefits labor-focused legislators can bring to working people, and what’s next with your support.

Daylight savings time began this week, and there’s a question I often get: since so many people dislike the back and forth time changes, is there anything we can do about it at a state level? And the answer is: yes, but only partially. 1/3

Happy International Women’s Day! Today is a global day of action for gender equity that has been recognized for 115 years. The progress we've made isn't an accident; it was the result of struggle. We have to commit, this IWD and every day, to advancing gender equity.

Proud to be endorsed by the Freethought Equality Fund for the fourth cycle in a row! I’m honored to be part of this year’s “Secular Seven,” a list of competitive races with secular candidates. As an exvangelical, defending separation of church and stateis deeply personal to me.

It’s really strange to find myself agreeing with the Cato Institute so much lately. But when they’re right, they’re right.
