Questions asked in 2025
Questions candidates were asked this year. Answers from earlier years are on each person's page.
What perspective or lived experience would you bring to city council, and how would it shape your approach to policy? Should Boulder enforce its camping ban when the All Roads shelter is full? Should Boulder require existing homes (not just new construction) to meet wildfire mitigation standards — such as clearing five feet around structures and banning wood fences near homes? Should Boulder City Council weigh in on foreign affairs? If not, how should it handle protests and tensions in council chambers over the war in Gaza? Boulder needs thousands of new homes by 2032. What specific actions would you take to overcome barriers and increase housing supply? With sales tax revenue slowing, a hiring freeze, and a $380 million maintenance backlog, what would be your top spending priorities — and what would you cut or delay?
