Topics: Politics, Community and Culture
We continually educate ourselves in topics that are not necessarily front and center in most citizen's minds, but ultimately affect how cities and politicians address policy, community building and planning. We will focus on issues of related to politics, culture and community that enrich our lives in ways we may never have realized. We encourage dialogue that moves the needle on these topics. Contact us for suggestions and submissions.

He has spent the last few years researching the issues that influence the citizen's of the Denver metro area and beyond. He made a solid bid, to unseat an entrenched incumbent, for an at-large city council seat in Arvada in 2013. Always striving to educate himself, Ascenzo continues to participate in the governing process and sits on the 21 person Citizens' Capital Improvement Plan Committee in Arvada.
