Kiel Brunner for RTD

I woke up today still a proud community member, happy dad and thankful husband (and probably a better one now that this campaign is over). I am so thankful for all the support our campaign received and I am proud of the positive campaign we ran. This campaign allowed me to make many new friends and learn a great deal about our community and its joys and struggles.

I’m sad for Denver and our country as decisive politics win the day but I’m hopeful 7A passed to prop up RTDs failing finances. It’s my hope RTD can build coalitions to improve its standing in our communities, improve service and better our climate. Denver deserves a world class transit system and I hope real change is in its future.
