~ Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade has been actively working with government officials at all levels to advocate for the needs of the city and secure support through collaboration. In a recent phone call, Mayor Yemi spoke with White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Deputy Chief of Staff Christina Serrano Glassner, who previously served as the Mayor of Mendham, New Jersey.
During the call, Mayor Yemi highlighted Colorado Springs' strong military presence and emphasized the city's support for public safety and infrastructure. He also expressed alignment with the Trump Administration's efforts to balance the budget and create efficiencies within government. The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs serves as a liaison between the White House and state, county, local, and tribal governments.
Mayor Yemi is expected to meet with the Director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs during next month's National League of Cities (NLC) Congressional Cities Conference. This conference provides an opportunity for city leaders to engage in productive dialogue with federal government partners and ensure that Colorado Springs has the necessary resources to keep up with its growing demands.

"I want our residents to know that their City government is actively engaging in productive dialogue with our federal government partners," said Mayor Yemi. "This is important work, and I am committed to working with all levels of government and across both sides of the aisle to ensure that Colorado Springs is at the table because we all know, 'If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.'"
In addition to his work with the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Mayor Yemi also serves as Vice Chair of the International Affairs Standing Committee for the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Several City leaders have also been appointed to serve on NLC national federal advocacy committees. These include Chief Housing Officer Aimee Cox, Deputy Public Works Director Gayle Sturdivant, and Senior Advisor for Government and Military Affairs Sallie Clark, who will provide strategic direction and guidance for NLC's federal advocacy agenda and policy priorities.
