First things first:
REGISTER TO VOTE/UPDATE VOTER REGISTRATION
The 2026 special election is over, but democracy never sleeps. You can still register to vote or update your registration so you’re ready for the April 2027 municipal elections.
Second things second:
Thank you to all of you who helped with the campaign. Whether you donated time, donated money, took a few minutes to talk with me, put up a yard or window sign, voted for me, or signed my petition to make this happen. This was exciting, interesting, fun, frustrating, and a good way to close out my time in politics. I’ve been elected twice and not elected twice. Batting .500 is probably a good point to call it a day.
I believe that running for office is one way for a person to announce a willingness to serve. It’s up to the voters to choose the candidate they want. A candidate doesn’t really win an election like someone wins a chess match. A candidate is chosen from some number of options. That’s why I’ve hard a time saying that I was a better candidate than any other. I know I was a good candidate out of a lot of good choices.
Anyway, I’m glad I was considered by so many people.
I’m running for Denver City Council At-Large Seat B because I’ve been involved in Denver’s city-wide and regional infrastructure issues for over twenty years. It’s where my heart is.
I was on Denver’s Planning Board in 2010 when a new zoning code was introduced. I was on RTD’s Board of Directors when Union Station and FasTracks transit projects were under construction and opened – and when the pandemic swept across the world, devastating local and national economies like nothing we had experienced. I served on the Task Force to Re-Imagine Policing and Public Safety which presented to Denver’s City Council and Department of Public Safety over 100 recommendations on ways to improve operations, safety protocols, community engagement, and oversight.
I worked in the utility industry for 17 years supporting infrastructure improvements and making sure that the residents’ concerns were reflected in the design and operation of new and expanded facilities. I currently work for a homeless shelter managing the agency’s compliance with federal, state, and local funding obligations and maintaining strong relationships with neighborhood businesses.
I’m running for Council At-Large because I love working on the big, unwieldly problems whose solutions are incremental and often seem insurmountable but need to be addressed quickly and thoughtfully. Identifying options, analyzing the pros and cons of those options, and deciding on a course of action is what I’ve done for Denver for over twenty years. I hope to earn your support to continue that trend on City Council. Thank you for your interest.
