Boulder’s Leaders Are Backing Me for Re-Election

As Boulder’s 2026 election season gets going, I'm grateful leaders throughout the community are supporting my campaign for re-election to City Council.

Among them, my Council colleagues Mayor Aaron Brockett, Matt Benjamin, Rob Kaplan, Tina Marquis, Nicole Speer, Tara Winer, and former council members Mark Wallach and Lauren Folkerts are all endorsing me for re-election.

I greatly value the partnerships I have developed with each of them. And I think the broad support I’ve earned across Boulder’s elected leaders speaks to my bridge-building, stabilizing style of leadership that our community wants and needs now.

You can learn what they and other Boulder leaders say at www.ryanwithboulder.com/endorsements.

“Ryan is invaluable to Boulder. He applies impressive breadth to lead the city forward on our top issues, without grandstanding. I’ve been delighted to see him bring principled thinking to financial decisions for the city and become a real leader on the big changes needed to protect our community from wildfire and power outages.” 

- Mayor Aaron Brockett

Also in the way of support, I have an incredible campaign team led by Hannah Davis, Scott Miller, Cat Manzo, Andy Saylor, and a community of other volunteers. They're why my campaign is starting strong, and how I can promise that investing in my campaign will be money and time well spent.

Would *you* like me to be re-elected? If so, please add your name to the list!

I Need Your Help

I'm running for re-election to continue making Boulder work for everyone, now and in the future.

My focus is on cutting the costs of living, adapting our community to a changing world it wasn't built for, and making local government more predictable and effective. Climate action is part of everything I do.

1. Donate up to $100:  We need less than $4,000 to reach our fundraising goal and then we are done! Can you help us get there? 

2. Tell me how else you can be involved: Endorse me, get a yard sign, or volunteer. These steps make a BIG difference for the success of our campaign.

In the News

I have earned the endorsement of Boulder Progressives for re-election in 2026. I’m very grateful to have their support, building on their endorsement when I first ran in 2023. 

“Ryan has championed reliable transit, wildfire protection, and workers' wages while serving on the city's Long-Term Financial Strategies committee to make Boulder's budget work harder for everyone. A father of two raising his kids in BVSD schools, Ryan brings a hands-on commitment to making Boulder work for families today and generations to come.”
