~ In the midst of a highly charged election season, one voice stands out in the Pikes Peak community. In an op-ed piece featured in the Nov. 1 edition of the Pikes Peak Bulletin, an immigrant to the United States shares a message of hope, light, and privilege that comes with living in a democracy.
As an individual who worked tirelessly for 21 years to become an American citizen, this writer strongly believes in the promise of America and the strength of our democracy. They express confidence in our election officials, including the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office, as well as the bipartisan election judges who have stepped up to serve.
But above all, this writer has confidence in Colorado Springs voters. They remind us that one of the greatest rights granted to all citizens is the right to vote and urge us not to take it for granted. Quoting Spider-Man's famous proverb, "with great power comes great responsibility," they emphasize our duty as citizens to our nation.

The writer encourages everyone to exercise their right to vote with courage, empathy, and humility. They remind us that elections are about ideas, values, and visions for the future. While we may hold differing perspectives, we all share a common goal: to advance the flourishing of our city.
As we head into this election, Colorado Springs has an opportunity to set an example for thoughtful engagement and respectful discourse. The writer urges us to listen openly and advocate passionately while always respecting those with differing opinions.
As Mayor of Colorado Springs, this writer is committed to bringing unity over division and putting people over politics. They pledge to collaborate across party lines and focus on implementing solutions rather than slogans. They also promise to engage all voices in decision-making processes regardless of political affiliation.
The writer champions the principles of democracy and encourages others to do so as well. They believe that by doing so, we can create a better story for Colorado Springs – one where we treat each other with respect, welcome competition of ideas, and put our city above party, people above politics, and country over ideology.

In addition to voting, the writer implores us to engage with our local government. They suggest volunteering for a campaign or cause, contacting representatives, attending City Council meetings, serving on boards and commissions, running for local office or leadership roles, and using social media responsibly. They also encourage citizens to visit the City website at ColoradoSprings.gov.
The writer leaves us with a quote from Abraham Lincoln, a leader they have always admired and coincidentally share a birthday with: "Elections belong to the people. It's their decision." They remind us that we are Colorado Springs – a community that is constantly moving onward and upward.
As we approach Election Day, let us remember the message of hope and unity from this writer. Let us exercise our right to vote responsibly and engage in respectful discourse as we shape the future of our city and nation.
