The Denver City Council reaffirms its commitment to being a welcoming city as Mayor Mike Johnston prepares to testify before Congress in Washington, D.C. For decades, Denver has set itself apart as a community that embraces diversity, values inclusion, and recognizes the history and contributions of immigrants to its economy, culture, and neighborhoods.
“This congressional testimony is about defending the values and policies that have made Denver stronger,” said City Council President Amanda P. Sandoval. “The ordinances enacted by the Denver City Council ensure that all residents, regardless of where they come from, have the opportunity to build a better life while keeping our city safe and thriving.”
“Mayor Johnston’s testimony will highlight Denver’s long-standing commitment to ensuring that its laws reflect its values while remaining reasonable and compassionate,” said City Council President Pro Tem Diana Romero Campbell. “The Council fully supports him as he affirms that Denver remains a place of opportunity, fairness, and dignity for all.”
“We know that Mayor Johnston will represent Denver with integrity and resolve.” President Sandoval added. “While political rhetoric may attempt to mischaracterize our city, we unite in solidarity with him as he upholds our city’s values on a national stage.”
