(Colorado Newsline) As he faces the last eight months of his time as a Colorado lawmaker, Representative David Ortiz is looking to ensure the continuation of disability rights advocacy when he is no longer in the Capitol.

“Disability rights aren’t on everyone’s radar because they don’t live that way, or they don’t have someone that they love or know live that way. And so the world continues to be inaccessible in a real detrimental way,” the Littleton Democrat told Colorado Newsline.
