The Pueblo Chieftain: Connecting with Mayor Gradisar

By 07/26/2019 | updated 7 years ago
Pueblo Mayor Nicholas Gradisar poses for a photo in his office on April 24 in Pueblo, Colo. Republicans are warning that Democratic proposals aimed at providing universal health care and curbing greenhouse gas emissions show that Democrats want to turn the U.S. toward socialism. Gradisar said he doubts the argument will win over many Democrats but warned, "Democrats have to be wary of it and they have to respond" by telling voters the party "will give you a fair shake." 

When Nick Gradisar was campaigning to become Pueblo’s first mayor in decades, he promised a lot of things. He promised to bring greater transparency to the inner workings of city government. He promised to carefully consider residents’ ideas for how to make the city better. And he promised to be the public face of the city.

Now he’s taking a step toward meeting all three of those objectives by hosting a series of monthly town hall meetings, which he’s calling “Community Connections.” The first of these hour-long meetings is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Aug. 2 at the Lucero Library, 1315 E. Seventh St.

Similar meetings will be held at the same time on the first Friday of each month in different locations throughout the city. The schedule of meeting dates and locations is available online at pueblo.us/mayor.
