Joshua Mantell from the Bell Policy Center and House Representative Lorena Garcia will join us to discuss ongoing efforts to enact a graduated income tax in Colorado via a ballot measure. They will talk about how it will work, challenges to adopt it, and how you can get involved.
Joshua joined the Bell in 2018 as the Rapid Response Policy Analyst and works with the research team as well as assists with communications and outreach by writing and developing content. Prior to working at the Bell, Josh was at the Wilderness Society in both Washington D.C. and Denver, where he worked on public lands, energy, and climate change policy.
House Representative Lorena Garcia represents HD 35 since her appointment in 2023. She is a long-time community activist and non-profit leader.
