For episode twelve, I sat down with Dan Williams in his backyard to talk about his candidacy for Boulder City Council. This fall the city of Boulder will be electing five representatives to city council. Boulder Coalition, a consortium of several progressive organizations including Open Boulder, Boulder Progressives, and United Campus Workers Colorado, have endorsed four candidates including Dan, Nicole Speer, Matt Benjamin, and Lauren Folkerts. Dan’s campaign is gearing up for a busy election season. He has qualified for the city election matching funds and has boxes of yard signs and campaign stickers in his garage. Despite the swirl of new activity in his life, he made time to sit down for a long conversation to discuss his values and what he hopes to accomplish on city council. I appreciate the calm and thoughtful way that he discusses the issues without trying to soften or downplay the urgency of the problems we face. We hope you enjoy this episode with Dan Williams.
