Former Sen. Chris Holbert shows Coloradans how to be heard at the Capitol

Former Colorado State Senator Holbert

YouTube’s algorithm is at it again. I ended up down a rabbit hole recently and somehow ended up seeing a name that was quite familiar.

Former State Senator (and former Senate Minority Leader) Chris Holbert. Apparently he is doing a YouTube channel now where he offers advice on navigating Colorado’s political process.

I linked to his channel first below and then, under that, a couple videos which I thought especially pertinent for the spirit of what I do: one is a short video about what to do/think if legislators aren’t listening, the other is about public testimony.

When I was starting out with my Facebook page during the beginnings of COVID, Mr. Holbert was a great support and a tremendous help to me in understanding the basics of our legislature and Constitution. I’m not surprised to see him continuing that with videos now. Nor am I surprised to see him not engaging in specifics on policy. That is very much in keeping with what I remember of him.

I am grateful for the help he gave me and happy to be able to share his videos and channel with you. If you watch them, you too can benefit from his experience.
