Our voter guide recommends the candidates that have been

Rank Aaron Brockett and Nicole Speer as your top two choices
This year, Boulder voters (like you!) will elect our Mayor using Ranked Choice Voting. Ranked choice voting allows you to rank candidates in order of preference on your ballot, ensuring that a candidate wins with majority support.
Both Nicole and Aaron were strong supporters of the Bedrooms Are For People campaign and both voted to increase how many unrelated people can share a home. Aaron and Nicole understand that housing is not just a basic necessity; it's a fundamental human right. They both have successfully enacted real change that expands housing options for all.

Vote NO/AGAINST on 302 "Safe Zones"
Measure 302 aims to increase policing and enforcement of unhoused people who have no other place to go. Increasing enforcement without providing solutions has been proven to make it harder for unhoused people to get back on their feet.
We believe this measure wastes money on ineffective enforcement instead of solutions. Even worse, this measure is using the safety of our kids as a political issue to get a conservative slate of candidates elected to city council.
