A former teacher and self-identified Marxist revolutionary is the newest member of Colorado's House of Representatives. Tim Hernández was selected by a Democrat committee to fill District Four's vacant seat after its previous holder, Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, was elected to Denver's City Council.
Hernández based his campaign on the same messages he encouraged in his teaching, "dismantling" what he deemed to be "oppressive" policies and systems in his home state and beyond.
Hernández was also vocal on X. In 2021, for example, he called for a "forceful cultural revolution wherein we assert the dignity of life for all at the expense of white supremacy." He also stated that he was "not interested in teaching students to perform whiteness well."
