What can your congressperson actually do for you?
It sounds like a simple question. But if you own property, run a business, employ people, or lease space, the answer gets interesting pretty quickly.
I asked Dr. Shimon Blau, a physician, small business owner, real estate investor, and independent candidate for Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, that exact question on this week’s Commercial Real Estate Secrets.
We get into:
- How decisions in Congress can affect Denver businesses
- Jobs and the cost of doing business in Colorado
- Tariffs and their impact on businesses and construction
- Housing affordability and development costs
- The role of federal vs. local government
- What Dr. Blau says he would prioritize if elected
This conversation matters beyond politics. It’s about the kind of city we’re building, whether businesses can thrive here, and what Denver looks like for the people who call it home.
