Three seats on the board are on the ballot.

It's election season and ballots go out early next month and so it's time to get to know your candidates.  I think one of the most exciting things I get to do as a member of Better Boulder is to participate in the candidate endorsement process.  It's always interesting to get to know the candidates and to see who will garner the support needed for an endorsement.  The selection of our endorsed slate requires two thirds of our board to vote in favor and this year we endorsed one mayoral candidate and seven city council candidates.  This slate is the result of numerous one-on-one conversations, in-person interviews in front of the entire board, lively discussions, and multiple rounds of voting.  And this was a heavy lift because there is a large field of candidates this time around.  But we didn't do all of the work for you because you will only get to vote for five city council candidates.  So, to help you get to know our endorsed candidates better, we are going to interview as many of them as we can in the next few weeks for the podcast.  We will try to keep these episodes short and sweet so they are easier to get through and we hope you find them useful as you try to decide who to vote for.  To see our full list of candidates, please visit betterboulder.com and click "Elections". Our second candidate in this series is Jamillah Richmond.  We met on a Sunday morning and sat in a beautiful garden that she helped create called the Giving Grove Food Forest at Tantra Lake.  We talked about why she's running for city council, the voices that go unheard in our communities, how she learned Spanish and other languages, and the municipal bond measure on the ballot, among others.  We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jamillah Richmond.
