Hi Bucket Listers! The election is just over two weeks away, and you probably already have your ballot in hand. Don’t just let it sit on the counter—vote! Last week we told you about our collaborations with the AP, The Voter Voices Project and MSU Denver. This week we want to share more on our collaboration with MSU Denver. On election night, our team, including former 9News anchor and Bucket List advisor Gary Shapiro, will be in the MSU newsroom working with the students at The Metropolitan and Met TV. We will cover the final hours of voting, the pulse of the community and keep you updated as votes are received (thank you, AP). Everyone is really excited about this collaboration. Please support this effort by making a contribution and ensuring there’s enough pizza to keep us going as long as it takes.
