On June 30, 2021 Rep. Daneya Esgar and Sen. Leroy Garcia accompanied Gov. Jared Polis to Pueblo where he signed 4 bills into law:

HB 21-1006 creates a grant program to support the community-based non-profits in Pueblo and across the state who have stepped up to assist working families and ensure children in four-day school weeks have a safe and productive place to go on the fifth day of the week.
SB21-119 gives more students the opportunity to earn credentials through the CDIP, building on its work that has helped more than 24,000 students earn credentials beyond a high school degree since we passed my bill creating the program in 2016.
HB21-1290 will give coal workers and communities the support they need to thrive by investing in new and existing programs providing apprenticeships, on-the job training, and other educational or vocational assistance, targeted infrastructure investments, and strategies for business retention, creation, expansion, and attraction.
SB21-238 Front Range Passenger Rail has been a vision of Southern Colorado for so long, and this bill takes the first step toward making it a reality by creating the special district needed to oversee the development, planning, creation, operation, and maintenance of the line for decades.

In March 2020 the St. Patrick's Day Dinner was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Awards that were to be presented then were delayed until June 2021. Some were presented at a luncheon held by Jac-X-Pres, others presented individually. These awards were presented for the efforts of recipients in 2019.

On Monday, December 14, 2020 nine electors met in Denver to cast Colorado's votes to make the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris official. Among the nine, Tory (last name withheld for safety, but we know her) participated, representing Pueblo for the historic ceremony.

In the face of the Coronusvirus crisis, a group of dedicated Democrats labored over their cutting tables and sewing machines to respond to a critical community need. They produced over 500 face masks and delivered them in a drive-by at Democratic Headquarters on Thursday, April 23, 2020.

At that drive-by these Masketeers learned that there was a further need. The Pueblo Police Department had a shortage of masks, so Masketeer Bernice Henrickson stepped up and produced an additional 150 masks.

On March 3, 2020, friends and food got together for a Super Party on Super Tuesday. Fourteen state races determined the delegate count for five Democratic candidates. These five, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, and Tulsi Gabbard were the survivers of a campaign season that started with a field of 28 contenders, others of which came and went with barely a notice.

On January 11, 2020, Governor Polis joined Rep. Daneya Esgar and Sen. Leroy Garcia, sponsors of the Colorado Partnership for Quality Jobs and Services Act, for a visit to the Colorado WINS office to promote the pending bill. Also attended by Rep. Bri Buentello, and hosted by Hilary Glasgo, HB 20-1153 will ensure that state employees have the right to advocate for the well-being of themselves and their families through collective bargaining.

On December 12, 2019, Pueblo Dems celebrated both the Failure of All Recalls & their Holiday Party at Zaragoza Hall. Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia was guest of honor. Also attending was Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser.

Pueblo leaders and citizens came together on November 8, 2019 to support Temple Emanuel. Shabbat services were held for the first time since a threat was prevented by the FBI and Pueblo Police.
