4/2/18 review of Rep. Crisanta Duran's 2018 H1B visa lottery kickoff speech

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of an H1B visa lottery kickoff then-Speaker of the Colorado State House Crisanta Duran did in April of 2018.

Speaker Duran's talk was with Dr. Maria Navas Moreno, and was about high-skilled immigrants, the value they add to America's economy, the struggles they face in getting appropriate skill-level work visas, especially when a husband and wife are both high-skilled, and how the H1B visa is therefore of high importance.

1/11/18 review of State of Cities and State of State presentations


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of some 2018 political year initiation presentations in Colorado.

The thread covers the Denver Business Journal's annual State of the Cities panel, which includes mayors from some of Colorado's biggest cities; Governor John Hickenlooper's State of the State address; and Speaker of the House Crisanta Duran's opening remarks to Colorado's House of Representatives.

Some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is pretty badly affected. My apologies. However, each tweet provides a lot of good info and insight. So I still think it's worth a read.

10/10/17 review of State Representative Crisanta Duran town hall


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2017 town hall held by then-Colorado State Representative and Speaker of the House, Crisanta Duran.

The town hall was held to discuss strategies for addressing growth in Colorado. The thread discusses some of the town hall's themes, like affordable housing, renters' rights, transportation infrastructure, public transportation, changing Colorado's tax code, the potential of Amazon's HQ2 coming to Colorado, water usage, the environment, and helping the homeless population.
