Oh what a night at the 20th Annual Holiday Dinner Dance hosted by the Senior Resource Council this past weekend!🎄💃

Twenty years of music, dancing, friendship, and celebration! It was wonderful to see so many of our older adults coming together to celebrate the season and the friendships that make the @CityofCOS such a special place.

A big thank you to the Senior Resource Council for all you do to keep our older adults active, engaged, and connected. Our city is stronger because of you. 🎉

100 years young! 🎉🎂 What a joy it was to join Darlyene to celebrate her 100th birthday!
From raising four children to building her own businesses, Darlyene’s story is one of hard work, perseverance, family, and adventure. And at 100 years old, she continues to find joy in exploring our beautiful city and making handmade gifts for those she loves.
Friends, our seniors are among our community’s greatest treasures. They carry a lifetime of wisdom, experience, and stories that have helped shape the Colorado Springs we know and love today. We have so much to learn from them, and so much to be grateful for.
Darlyene, thank you for reminding us that a life well lived is measured by the love we give and the lives we touch. Happy 100th birthday! May God continue to bless you with joy, love, and peace.

What a privilege to join our community today for the In Their Honor Veterans Day Parade, celebrating the brave men and women who have served our nation and helped make Colorado Springs America's premier military city!

One of the highlights was honoring more than 250 “Rosies,” including 103-year-old Wanda Daniels, an original Rosie the Riveter. What a joy to shake her hand and personally thank her for her remarkable service during World War II.

Our city has a proud legacy of service and sacrifice, both in uniform and on the home front. Today was a beautiful reminder of the people who made that legacy possible.

To our veterans and all who have answered the call to serve, thank you. We honor you!

My heart is heavy as we mourn the tragic loss of Lakewood Police Agent Nicholas Graham, who was killed in the line of duty.

At just 33 years old, Agent Graham was a devoted husband, a father to a 1-year-old child, and a dedicated public servant. He served with courage, compassion, and a deep commitment to protecting his community.

I reached out to my friend and fellow mayor, @LakewoodCOgov Mayor Wendi Strom, to offer my deepest condolences and assure her that Colorado Springs stands with Lakewood during this heartbreaking time.

Agent Graham’s death is a painful reminder of the risks our first responders face and the sacrifices their families share. Behind every uniform is a brave person, a child of God who is loved, a family waiting at home, and a life of purpose beyond the call to serve.

To Agent Graham’s wife, young child, family, fellow officers, and the entire Lakewood community: the @CityofCOS grieves with you. We honor his life, his service, and his sacrifice. And we pray for comfort, strength, and peace in the difficult days ahead.

May God bless the memory of Agent Nicholas Graham, hold his family close, and watch over all who serve and protect our communities.

The Lakewood Police Department is heartbroken as we mourn the tragic loss of Agent Nicholas Graham, 33, who was killed in the line of duty.
Nick joined our department on Jan. 14, 2019, continuing a family tradition of law enforcement service. Throughout his career, he distinguished himself through his dedication, professionalism and genuine compassion for others.

From mentoring new officers as a Field Training Agent to investigating some of our community's most serious crimes as a member of our Investigation Division, Nick approached every responsibility with an unwavering commitment to serving others. His exceptional investigative work earned him the 2023 Special Investigations Unit Wingman Award, but it was his kindness, empathy and willingness to help those around him that truly defined his service.

Nick was more than an accomplished agent. He was a trusted colleague, a dedicated mentor, a beloved member of our LPD family and a loving husband and father to his 1-year-old child.

Our hearts are with Nick's family, friends and everyone whose life he touched. We are forever grateful for his service, his sacrifice and the privilege of serving alongside him. Rest in peace, Agent Graham. You will never be forgotten. 💙

I want to congratulate Jessica Killin on her election to Congress and look forward to working with her on behalf of Colorado Springs. I also want to thank Congressman Jeff Crank for his service to our community.
Our community faces real challenges, especially affordability and the rising cost of living. I am committed to continuing a bipartisan approach with Jessica, finding common ground, and working together on practical solutions that put the people of Colorado Springs first.
