As we look to 2025, we make this commitment to you: we will continue to work our hardest, alongside county staff and other elected officials, for the people of Boulder County and to champion the county’s values. As outlined in our strategic priorities, we will protect our environment and combat climate change, work towards economic security and stability, and practice good governance – all of which is underpinned by the belief that good governance is impossible without a focus on racial equity.

We will continue to value, respect, and support all individuals as we serve the people of Boulder County.

We wish you all a happy new year.

Claire Levy, Marta Loachamin, and Ashley Stolzmann
