Simply Pure owner Scott Durrah might be adding a new title to his name shortly.
Durrah is running for Denver city council. Durrah and his wife Wanda James are key members of the cannabis community in the city of Denver. As noted by Mjnewsnetwork, alongside his wife, the two own 5 businesses and employ over 100 people in the community in which they reside.
I’m running to take a principled stand for residents of this district on a wide range of issues including an emphasis on community focused development and addressing the ongoing concerns with our infrastructure at a time of hyper growth. Over the last decade, Northwest Denver has seen significant changes, especially in the relationship between residents and development. The growing population and rise in rental costs and property values have pushed out many long-time locals and small business owners. Durrah, who has solid relationships with old and new community members says, “there must be a bridge that connects real solutions to our growing community issues.”
Durrah and James have become nationally known for their fundraising for President Obama’s National Finance Committee and for their work in social justice and advancing the legalization of cannabis.
