Aurora, CO

A gang has not taken over the city; the overstated claims

(by Predecessor #DJT) fueled by social media and through

select news organizations are simply NOT true.  It is

tragic that select individuals and entities have

mischaracterized our city based on some specific

incidents.

populations / individuals in the 3rd largest city in

Colorado.]  Mayor Mike Coffman intends to show

Mr. Trump that Aurora was a considerably
