Denver City Council

Supporting a Unified Denver

On January 13th, 2025, the Denver City Council and the mayor signed proclamations affirming our values and commitments to all of Denver’s residents. While changes and challenges come forward from the federal level, we will not waiver from our support of diverse communities, from seeking equity so that all of our residents may prosper, and ensuring the inclusion and participation of all voices. We are not strangers to hard times, and our enduring spirit is one where neighbors support one another, nonprofits and small business care about our families, and strangers share kindness with strangers. We are representatives of a city we deeply love and we are united with you and all of Denver to ensure we remain a city that faces challenges head on, protects our most vulnerable, and actively contributes to a beautiful city that we can all be proud of for generations to come.

The Standing Together for Unified Denver Proclamation was adopted by both branches of government in Denver on January 13, 2025. Y ou can find the Denver City Council proclamation here.

City Council Unites in Support of Mayor's Congressional Testimony

Denver, CO – March 3, 2025 – 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.”

Denver City Council Honored with HCC Public Achievement Award

Denver City Council Honored with HCC Public Achievement Award

DENVER — The Denver City Council has been selected as the recipient of the Hispanic Contractors of Colorado (HCC) Public Achievement Award, which recognizes the Council’s commitment to fostering inclusivity, economic growth, and opportunity for small and diverse businesses in the construction industry.

The award was presented on Saturday, March 1, at HCC’s annual awards ceremony. Council President Amanda P. Sandoval accepted the award on behalf of the Council at the awards gala on Saturday, March 1, 2025. The Council was recognized for its open-door policy and engagement with HCC members on key legislation and policies affecting the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.

“This recognition is not just about Denver City Council—it’s about all of us,” Sandoval said. “It’s about the generations before us who laid the foundation, the workers who put in the hours every day, and the young people looking up to us, wondering if they too can build something great. The answer is yes. And together, we will keep building—stronger businesses, stronger families, and a stronger Colorado.”

HCC highlighted the Council’s advocacy on legislation such as the auditor subpoena bill and the noise control ordinance and its role in shaping policies like the Ball Arena redevelopment plan, which has directly impacted the construction industry.

The HCC Public Achievement Award is presented annually to individuals or groups whose contributions have significantly advanced HCC’s mission. Past recipients include Governor Jared Polis, Representative Shannon Bird, Denver City Council member Stacie Gilmore, and former Denver Mayor Federico Peña.
