Tina Marquis

Endorsed

Incumbent, Seeking Re-Election

Tina has a long history of leadership in Boulder, including eight years on the BVSD Board of Education (six as board president) before her first term on City Council. Her strong commitment to transparency and government accountability is a breath of fresh air. Tina has been a deciding vote on many important progressive issues, and has a long record as a champion of trans rights, women's rights, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Jill Adler Grano

Endorsed

Jill is Boulder's first-ever openly LGBTQ councilmember. As lead staffer for Congressman Joe Neguse's "Housing Our Communities" legislation, and with years as a residential real estate broker before that, her experience on housing issues makes her an even more insightful leader than before. She's a strong advocate for city policies that put people first and make Boulder more welcoming for everyone.

Sam Fuqua

Endorsed

Sam brings a long history of service: eight years on the BVSD Board of Education, including as president; five years as a Boulder Library Commissioner before the Library District's formation, and another term after; and nearly a decade as station manager at KGNU radio. He's committed to a Boulder that better meets the needs of all people.

Rachel Rose Isaacson

Endorsed

Rachel is running to become Boulder's first Gen Z City Council member, bringing a fresh voice to the table. A renter and barista, she is an advocate for workers' rights and renter protection. Rachel's experience navigating tipped wage work, rental housing, and co-op housing, and her understanding of the challenges facing Boulder's young people, would be valuable to our council.

Jamillah Richmond

Strongly Recommended

Jamillah entered the City Council race after our endorsement process had concluded, but we enthusiastically support her serving on Boulder's City Council. She has extensive experience serving on BVSD's District Accountability Committee and executive team, on the City of Boulder's BVCP Community Assembly focused on accessibility, and on several nonprofit boards. She's passionate about education, affordable housing, a more accountable city government, and meaningful community outreach and conversation.
