A Broad Coalition

Garcia's endorsement list tells the story of his candidacy: a rare coalition of labor, law enforcement, business, and housing organizations united behind a candidate who prioritized neighborhoods over special interests. The Denver Police Protective Association and Firefighters Local #858 endorsed alongside the Labor Federation — reflecting Garcia's work on both public safety and workers' rights.

This coalition was built through Green's strategic approach to identifying and uniting diverse constituencies around Garcia's core message of neighborhood-first governance — a model that proved data and targeting could assemble unlikely alliances at the local level.
