Vote Sam Fuqua for City Council!
Sam brings decades of Boulder public service: eight years on the BVSD board, two as president; service on the Boulder Library Commission and District Board of Trustees; and over two decades at KGNU Community Radio, from news director to station manager. Affordable housing tops his priorities: it let him raise his kids in Boulder, and he wants today's young families to have that same chance. Sam is committed to a Boulder that works for everyone.
