Janice Marchman's Listening Tour Stops in Loveland This Wednesday
State Senator Janice Marchman Launches Listening Tour Across Senate District 15
State Senator Janice Marchman is starting the new year with a series of community events designed to gather input from residents of Senate District 15. These events, part of a multi-day listening tour, aim to provide an opportunity for local citizens to share their concerns and priorities as lawmakers prepare to return to the Colorado Capitol later in January.
The listening tour will take place from Sunday through Thursday, with stops in six different communities across northern Colorado:
- Lyons – Sunday, 2–3 p.m. at Lyons Locale
- Nederland – Monday, 5–6 p.m. at Busey Brews
- Red Feather Lakes – Tuesday, noon–1 p.m. at Red Feather Lakes Fire Hall
- Loveland – Wednesday, 5–6 p.m. at Gertrude Scott Room, Loveland Public Library
- Wellington – Wednesday, 7–8 p.m. at Sol de Jalisco
- Estes Park – Thursday, 2–3 p.m. at Estes Park Town Hall
Marchman, a Democrat, was first elected to represent Senate District 15 in 2022 after defeating incumbent Rob Woodward, a Republican. She recently announced her campaign for a second term and will once again face Woodward, who is seeking to reclaim his former seat.
Her campaign team emphasized that the purpose of this week’s tour is to allow residents to engage directly with their elected representative in a more informal and conversational setting. This approach is intended to foster open dialogue and ensure that the voices of the people are heard before the legislative session begins.
“I want to hear what issues matter most to you and why,” Marchman said in a statement announcing the tour. “The strongest ideas come from listening to each other, and I’m excited for this chance to connect with our neighbors before I return to the Capitol for the legislative session.”
Why Community Engagement Matters
Community engagement is a vital component of effective governance. By meeting with residents in person, Marchman is not only demonstrating her commitment to transparency but also showing that she values the perspectives of those she serves. This kind of direct interaction helps build trust between elected officials and the public, which is essential for creating policies that reflect the needs and desires of the community.
Each stop on the listening tour offers a unique opportunity for residents to express their thoughts on a variety of issues, including education, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental concerns. These discussions can shape the legislative agenda and influence the direction of state policy in meaningful ways.
How to Participate
Residents interested in attending any of the events can find more information about the tour by visiting janiceforcolorado.com/listeningtour. The website provides details about the schedule, locations, and how to get in touch with the senator’s office.
In addition to the in-person events, Marchman’s team has also encouraged residents to reach out via email or phone to share their thoughts. This ensures that even those who cannot attend the events in person have a voice in the conversation.
Looking Ahead
As the legislative session approaches, the insights gathered during the listening tour will play a crucial role in shaping Marchman’s priorities. Her efforts to connect with constituents highlight the importance of grassroots engagement in the political process.
By taking the time to listen to the people of Senate District 15, Marchman is reinforcing her commitment to representing their interests and addressing their concerns. This approach not only strengthens her connection with the community but also sets the stage for more informed and responsive policymaking.
