Councilmember Hinds’ Welcome Letter

Happy holidays! May this beautiful holiday season fill your heart with love, your home with joy, and your life with laughter. Wishing you and your family love, peace, and happiness!

As usual, December also marks the time of the year we ask for your thoughts and input on Denver, District 10, and issues that are important to you. Please consider taking our annual survey! You can find it here: https://www.denverperfect10.com/survey.

Have a lovely rest of your 2022, and if I don’t see you before then, I hope we connect in 2023!

Best,

Councilmember Chris Hinds
