The data was published last night. The letters went out this morning. Open letters to Governor Polis and the Colorado General Assembly — on the record, publicly archived, and awaiting a response.

Governor, in 2018 you made a promise to Colorado voters: "I will end our investment in private prisons and reinvest those dollars into rehabilitation, diversion, alternative and restorative justice programs." The facilities now under consideration are shuttered private prison buildings — owned by CoreCivic and GEO Group. I am not raising this to embarrass you. I am raising it because your 2018 instinct was correct. The evidence since then has only strengthened that case. This

Two weeks of posts. 428 pages of legislation. Seven pillars. One assembly. Tomorrow, HD23 makes the choice — and I want to make sure you have everything you need before that room fills up

Colorado is tired of the same politics, the same promises, the same results. This election offers a real choice — and I want you to know exactly what that choice looks like. I came into this race not with endorsements, but with 428 pages of legislation already written, federal experience, and a vow to be the most accessible representative Colorado has ever seen. The assembly is Saturday. Here's where I stand.

What happens when a government actually invests in its people? Not in theory. Not in a campaign speech. In real life, with real results, measured over decades. The answer is already out there. Taiwan achieved 99.9% healthcare coverage in its first year. Vienna nearly eliminated homelessness. Nordic countries cut child poverty to 3%. Japan capped predatory lending rates — and suicide rates dropped. These aren't coincidences. They're what's possible when a government chooses it

Living legislation angle 428 pages / Day One ready Transformation not tweaks

We started at 9 AM. We wrapped up at nearly 2 PM. Five hours of democracy — and every single minute of it mattered. If you think that's a lo

Before I asked for a single vote, I wrote nearly 400 pages of legislation. After researching every participatory democracy system on earth, I can say with confidence — what we built for Colorado has never been attempted anywhere. And this year, the people get to decide.

Colorado is at a crossroads — a real one. Two roads. Two very different futures. One path is familiar: endorsements, task forces, and promises that somehow never quite lower the rent or protect the job. The other path shows up with 400+ pages of real legislation already written, seven pillars of life stability ready on Day One, and a simple belief — you deserve to see the plan before you're asked to trust the person holding it. Caucus is Saturday. Assembly is March 14th. The

This Is Who I Am. And I Am Telling You Myself. By maveriQ B Jackson February 25, 2026       Yesterday, someone sent me a text message threatening to blackmail me. They demanded money or they would expose my “history in sex work.” They told me the other option was to drop out of the race I’m running for Colorado State House District 23. They called my husband and me worthless. They gave me 48 hours.   My response to them was three sentences. I called it what it was — blackmail

My name is maveriQ B Jackson. Lowercase “m,” uppercase “Q” — and if you’re wondering why, it’s because it doesn’t matter where you started. What matters is where you finish and the journey along the way. I grew up understanding that life doesn’t hand you shortcuts. You build. You grind. You show up. And when the moment comes, you don’t talk about what you’re going to do — you show people what you’ve already done. That’s exactly why I’m running for Colorado State House Distric

If only 41% have criminal records, what is the other 59% for? By maveriQ B Jackson | February 7, 2026 While the nation debates immigration policy, a mathematical pattern reveals something far more disturbing: the rapid expansion of detention infrastructure that goes well beyond any stated need for public safety. The Math That Doesn't Add Up In just one year, immigration detention increased from 40,000 to 75,000 people—an 87.5% increase. But here's what the headlines miss: ·  

Published: February 6, 2026 By: maveriQ B Jackson Here’s something most candidates won’t say out loud: They’re waiting to get elected before they start fighting. I’m not. I didn’t spend years writing nearly 400 pages of legislation  so it could sit in a drawer until after Election Day. I wrote it because Colorado families are struggling right now . Because people are choosing between medication and rent right now . Because workers are watching automation and AI reshape their

An Open Letter to Governor Brian Kemp The FBI Seized Georgia's Election Materials — Your State, Your Authority By maveriQ B Jackson | February 4, 2026 Dear Governor Kemp, I am a Democrat writing to a Republican. I am a candidate for Colorado State House District 23 writing to the Governor of Georgia. We have never met. We likely disagree on most policy issues. But I am writing to you today because what happened last week in your state threatens every state in this union—inclu

An Open Letter to All 50 Governors Defending State Sovereignty, Constitutional Rights, and American Lives By maveriQ B Jackson | February 4, 2026 I write to you today not as an elected official, but as an American citizen who has watched the constitutional order fracture over the past year. I am maveriQ B Jackson, a candidate for Colorado State House District 23. I believe the time has come for governors of all political persuasions to stand together, because what is happenin
