I’m Mike, a proud working-class guy from Liverpool. My dad taught me two lessons that guide me to this day: “Never forget your roots,” and “You were born to change the world, not just be part of it.”

​

At 19, I was deported from the U.S. simply for being gay. That experience pushed me to fight for marriage equality, for my family, and for justice. I became the first in my family to graduate college and recently earned my law degree from the University of Denver. Along the way, I’ve worked as a small business owner, public defender, and community organizer.

​

Now, I’m running for State Representative in House District 3 as Colorado’s first LGBTQ+ immigrant candidate in history. I’ll never forget where I came from—and I’ll fight for those who need it most.

​

Thank you for being part of this movement!
