Get StartedI place public safety at the highest level of my concerns as a member of Council. Keeping people safe is the most fundamental obligation of any government (yes, even before potholes), and without public safety nothing else of meaning is achievable. Learn more
I would like to see a robust community conversation about the potential next steps in enhancing our community’s safety. How we address the risk of wildfire in Boulder will determine the safety of our community from this existential danger. Learn more

And this is not a new tax, it is merely an extension of the current tax. 90% of the proceeds go towards infrastructure projects, 10% towards arts and non-profit funding. Learn more
