“Thank you, Council President, and thank you, Council Pro Tem Gonzalez Gutierrez. I really want to acknowledge the families and the loved ones who are left behind when someone overdoses. It's not the first time, and that's a normal part of recovery that we don't talk about a lot, that nobody goes to rehab, gets clean, and then is clean forever. Maybe I would say a very, very small percentage. The majority of folks, because we're human and we're fallible and life and stress hits us, is that...

“Whereas Councilmember Sarah Paradis has always been for the people. She understands the history, sacrifice, and ongoing struggles of communities that since the inception of the United States have been systematically oppressed. Every day of her tenure as an elected official, she worked to change policy, to reflect the human rights that all people deserve. It has been an honor serving with her, and I know that her story remains to be fully told. A girl who grew up in Wyoming, who served on Denver City Council while being a mom, partner, and loving friend, This is a time to rest, and we look…”

“Thank you. Council Member Gilmour. Thank you, Council President. I was trying to think back when we first met, Sarah, and I think we first talked at, like, a union hall somewhere and shared a little bit. And, you know, I grew up in Brush, Colorado, on the Northeastern Plains, and so you growing up in Wyoming, it's a similar sort of political spectrum. And then, you know, coming to the city and doing this incredible work, and you... Beyond your policy expertise and how amazing of a person you are, you also do the work behind the scenes. And I saw that firsthand when Jack Scraton... went…”
