TOP COLORADO ELECTED OFFICIALS DO!

Governor Jared Polis, Senator John Hickenlooper, Mayor Mike Johnston, and Mayor Mike Coffman don't want to lose anything in translation.

By Bennito L. Kelty April 9, 2024.

A little over two centuries ago, much of the land that would become Colorado was claimed by Spain. But since the Mexican-American War ended with the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, moving the territory into the United States, it has never been a requirement for anyone in charge of this place to speak Spanish.

Even so, many of the state's top elected officials use the language in public — frequently and confidently. Mayor Mike Johnston says that speaking Spanish is "the most useful skill I have."

"For any leader, whether you're an elected leader or a business leader, there's a huge part of your neighbors, your client base, your constituents, who are going to be Spanish speakers," Johnston says. "It seems like a net advantage to be able to talk to them directly."

After all, about a third of Denver's residents, over 200,000 people, identify as Latino, as do nearly a quarter of the state's population — 1.3 million people. "Colorado" is a Spanish word — it means "colored red" — and place names like Pueblo, Mesa Verde, La Junta, Limon, Buena Vista, Alamosa, Salida, Las Animas, Arvada, Alma and Alameda are all Spanish.

"There are many Coloradans who never even studied Spanish who speak dozens of words in Spanish, sometimes without even realizing it, because it's entered our Colorado common language," says Governor Jared Polis. "In Colorado, Spanish is a very widely spoken language."

Ken Salazar, who was a U.S. senator from Colorado, served as the Secretary of the Interior and is now the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, comes from the San Luis Valley, where a unique dialect of Spanish is found; he's part of the fifth generation of a family that settled there in the 1800s. "There are areas of our state where storefronts, and businesses are in Spanish predominantly," Polis says.

Multi-generational Spanish speakers like Salazar are "just a small minority of the Spanish-speaking population of Colorado," Polis adds. "Most of the Spanish-speaking population are of recent, first- or second-generation Mexican heritage, and now, increasingly, Central and South American heritage."

Dual-immersion schools, where students are a mix of native

English and Spanish speakers who graduate fluent in both languages, are "very popular"

across the state, Polis notes, with about 41 such schools teaching kids in grades K-12 across sixteen Colorado school districts.

Elementary schools where the majority of the students come in with Spanish as their first language "are not just in places like Denver," he adds. "They're everywhere, from Garfield County to Boulder County to Colorado Springs."

Six of the thirteen members of the current Denver City Council are Latina, including President Jamie Torres. Latinas are in powerful legislative seats, too: Yadira Caraveo is a U.S. representstive, and Monica Duran is the Colorado House majority leader.

Not all Latinos speak Spanish, of course. But Colorado's two U.S. senators, its governor and the mayors of two of the state's biggest cities all do — even though none of them have Latino roots. "I never really realized it before," Polis says. "But I guess you're right."

Movies and Music in Spanish: How Jared Polis Learned the Language

Polis started learning Spanish in elementary school when he was growing up in Boulder, then continued studying it in high school when he lived in La Jolla, California. He also learned German, which he says he gets to use occasionally.

"Every now and then, I get to positively delight a nice old German lady by whipping out my German," he says. "I think I win a few votes that way."

But he's never stopped practicing Spanish.

In 2003, when he was serving on the Colorado Board of Education, Polis started Cinema Latino, a movie theater company that showed films in Spanish, "so I spoke Spanish in a business setting," he says. Cinema Latino went bankrupt in 2020, a year after Polis took office as governor. Before that, he'd served five terms as a U.S. representative in Congress; for part of the time, he was chair of the congressional U.S.-Mexico caucus.

"It never got dusty," he says of his Spanish. "There were always periods of days or weeks where I would speak largely Spanish because of my business work or official work, and even now it comes up regularly."

In a mix of English and Spanish, Polis explains that nowadays, "I can converse in Spanish. I would never say I'm fluent, but I'm conversant, fully conversant in Spanish."
