Benita was on my team when we imagined a great city in Denver. She knows what it takes to restore public trust in local government and keep the doors open to all. She’s qualified, skilled, and experienced, and would be a great leader on the Boulder City Council.

There is no more experienced candidate in this race. There is no one with the depth of experience in local government at all kinds of levels, including at the City of Boulder, where she used to work… I know when she gets elected she will do a phenomenal job.

Benita has incredible experience, integrity, and she is who we need on Boulder City Council.

Benita… will bring a fresh and strong voice to Council. I will vote for some of the incumbents as well, but we need to send the right message this election.

For over 25 years, I have worked in the Boulder community with Benita, who has guided the nonprofits that form the pillars of our civic, social, and cultural life. I know of no one who matches her breadth of experience and leadership. As we tackle pressing challenges like infrastructure backlogs, affordability, and the debut of Sundance, we need an experienced, dedicated community champion like Benita on City Council.

Benita cares deeply about the community and has the chops to get things done. Her experience paired with her dedication is just what we need.

I know Benita through Neguse’s Latino Advisory Committee and have come to know we share common concerns. I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Benita and Boulder City Council.

I love that she is a library trustee… She thinks very deeply about things… There have been a few hard years for me on council. Benita has always been there for me. I want you to know that she is a special person.

Benita is from southeastern Colorado; she grew up in Pueblo. She understands hard work, she understands diversity and she understands education… Her connections across racial lines, bringing people back together, are key to what we need in this community moving forward. She’s smarter than smart, and if you want something done, you need to ask Benita Duran.

I join so many of my fellow community organizers, seekers of justice for working families, in endorsing Benita’s candidacy for Boulder City Council.

I have had the good fortune to work with Benita on a number of projects. She is smart, thoughtful and hardworking. We will be fortunate to have her working for us on Council.

Experience and leadership are really, really important. Benita has both… Benita is more than qualified. She will get things done quicker when she’s elected.
