New Leadership for District 8

Teddy McCullough for Denver City Council

Fresh Perspective

My grandma Joyce taught me that showing up matters, that speaking up matters, and that the people closest to a problem are usually closest to its solution, if anyone bothers to ask them. I've carried that with me through a lot of different rooms, from the White House to community banking to building nonprofits from scratch. That path isn't typical for someone running for City Council, and that's exactly the point. District 8 deserves someone who knows what it means to fight for the things this community is still waiting on.

Community-Driven Leadership. Achieving Real Results for Every Neighborhood

District 8 is diverse, dynamic, and full of people who deserve tangible results from their city government. I’m running to advocate for affordable housing that keeps families in the neighborhoods they love, to ensure transit and city services serve every part of the district, and to hold those in power accountable. Most importantly, I’ll be the kind of City Councilor who shows up, stays visible in the community, and remains open and accountable to the people I represent.
