The best thing people can do right now is to get vaccinated. https://t.co/FkXryutDww — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

As much as we might like to think that the COVID pandemic is over, it’s not. That’s why we’re allocating another half-million dollars to continue bringing vaccines into neighborhoods and communities with low vaccination rates. https://t.co/HXGix1ilJL — PolitiTweet.org

We stand with Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka and all those who take a stand to fight for and protect their mental health. I urge you all to also take care of yourselves and learn to recognize the signs of a person in crisis, and be there to help others in need. https://t.co/rCTtpu3w5Z — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, Denver! Please join us for Cabinet in the Community this evening at 6p. I'll be joined by @KendraBlackD4 and other city officials to discuss important topics happening in district 4. Register now to join the conversation and ask questions. https://t.co/5bN89WsSgd https://t.co/jbm0q8TUjW — PolitiTweet.org

Building a new state-of-the-art arena, and the new events it will attract, will create year-round jobs and provide funding for community programs and projects important to the well-being of the surrounding neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

This package, we estimate, will help create 7,500 good-paying jobs, $483 million in worker wages and benefits, and $1 billion in economic benefits. And that’s just for the construction. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

Now to the recovery of our economy, which is well underway...This week, I will be submitting to City Council a $450 million infrastructure bond package to help sustain our recovery for future decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

Also, we are investing a new civilian Street Enforcement Team that will address lower-level infractions, and we are working on a new Assessment Intake Diversion Center. This AID Center will create an additional alternative response to the criminal justice system. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

Additionally, we are investing in an alternate approach to help get people the help they truly need by adding $1 million to continue the expansion of the STAR Program so people in crisis are met with behavioral health professionals instead of uniformed officers. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

So, here’s my invitation I want to issue to the young people who have called for better accountability in law enforcement: stay involved – be the change you want to see by running for office or applying to be a Denver police officer, sheriff’s deputy, firefighter or paramedic. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

We’re also seizing the opportunity to hire new officers who can meet the challenges of policing in America today, and training them to better meet the needs of the communities they serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

And the the @DenverPolice Department has embarked on a new collaborative crime-prevention initiative, bringing more patrols to hotspot areas and delivering more resources to help these communities address the underlying factors that can give root to crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

We also need to keep looking out for one another. It’s been a tough year. For some, it has pushed their mental and behavioral wellness to the breaking point. I urge everyone to educate yourselves, learn to recognize the signs of a person in crisis, and be there to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

We must also address another emerging crisis in cities nationwide: a post-pandemic spike in violent crime. In Denver, that spike is being compounded by the release of violent criminals too quickly from custody, putting them right back in the community to reoffend. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

And to our partners at the state and regional levels – thank you to metro mayors and to @GovofCO for stepping up and leaning in. Cities cannot do this alone. It’s long past time for a stronger nationwide push to address homelessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

Housing with supports works. And we are going to do more of it. We recently opened new state-of-the-art shelters to serve hundreds of men and women in 24-hour facilities. Our new Solution Center is providing a much-needed option for folks experiencing a behavioral health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael B. Hancock @MayorHancock

I am proposing to infuse $28 million from the American Rescue Plan into our Affordable Housing Fund. And to get affordable housing built sooner, we will be creating a specialized team to prioritize these projects for permit review and approval. — PolitiTweet.org
