Last nights downpour was eagerly welcomed as the hot, dry days of summer wane on. Boulder is currently under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions and our wildfire resiliency takes planning, policy, and community action to build a safer, stronger Boulder.

Had a fun evening for National Night Out. Visited many block parties with our first responders. I must say the water ballon toss in North Boulder got very competitive. #boulder

Campaign season starts this week.
I’m running for re-election to keep pushing for progress—because I believe Boulder should be a city that’s fully inclusive, more resilient, and vibrant for everyone who calls it home. #boulder

Approaching 3 weeks since my appendectomy. Today marks a key milestone as I hiked about 2 miles without any pain. Couldn’t ask for a more scenicic and therapeutic place to be. #bouldercolorado

I am heartbroken to hear of the terrorist attack this afternoon on Pearl Street during the peaceful gathering of our Jewish community. My heart is with the victims and their families as they recover from the physical and emotional trauma of this unthinkable hate crime.

Huge news for #boulder! We couldn’t have gotten @sundance.org to make Boulder its new home without our arts community and incredible city staff that helped put together a great proposal. Big thanks to @govofco.bsky.social for your leadership.

I’m thrilled to see the city begin installing our new streetlights after acquiring 4500 streetlights from Xcel. These new LED lights will be Dark Sky compliant (2700k) and save the city $1million/yr in maintenance. Project pays for itself in 6.8yrs. #boulder

I was fortunate this weekend to ski with my council colleague @ryanwithboulder.bsky.social and his partner up at Winter Park. This is right before we did the hike (skate) over to Vasquez Cirque. BTW, they’re great skiers!

Some of the most snow I’ve seen in @winterparkresort.bsky.social over the past week (over 62”). Get you snorkel if your skiing.

Another day at the capital to testify on HB25-1005 (Tax credit for @sundancefilmfest.bsky.social). Got the chance to spend some time with Gov. Polis @govofco.bsky.social while we waited to testify.

I’m proud to have the opportunity to testify in front of the Colorado State Legislature to support a bill (HB25-1005) that would provide a tax credit to Sundance Film Festival (should they choose to make #boulder and #colorado their home).
