Jefferson County Lawmakers Statement on Lookout Mountain Swastika
DENVER, CO –
Lawmakers from Jefferson County today released the following joint statement:
“We, the legislative delegation from Jeffco, are horrified and deeply saddened by the hateful display of a giant swastika along I-70 near Lookout Mountain. This appalling act is more than vandalism,  it is an attempt to spread fear and division in a community that stands for respect, inclusion, and human dignity.
“We strongly stand against hate in all its forms. Every person, regardless of race, creed, or religion, deserves the freedom to live without fear. Staining our beautiful open spaces with symbols of
antisemitic
hate and Nazi propaganda is not who we are and it will never define Jefferson County.
“We thank the Jeffco Open Space Rangers, local law enforcement, and community members who acted swiftly to remove the symbol and restore peace. But our work cannot stop there. When hate shows its face, we must respond not only with outrage but with unity, education, and courage.
“Let this serve as a reminder that the forces of hate and division have no place here and when they rise, we will meet them together, with resolve and love for one another.
“Jefferson County is, and must remain, a place where all people are welcome and safe. We will not be divided by hate. We will rise stronger together.”

House Majority Leader Monica Duran
