I'm Valdamar Archuleta, your candidate for Congress in CD1 (Denver).

I was born and raised here, and went on to graduate from George Washington high school.

After spending several years living in New York City working with my church, I decided to return home to help out my community here.

As I have returned, I have witnessed the gradual destruction of a place that I have called home almost all of my life. From uncontrolled crime, rampant homelessness, and unaffordability, Denver is a reflection of where America is at today.

I'm not a millionaire. I don't have a fancy degree. I'm not a politician. I'm a proud Denver resident who knows that we can't afford to fall short due to the failings of D.C. yet again.  It's time to do something different in Washington.
