Congratulations to Frasca Food and Wine for winning the James Beard award for Outstanding Restaurant. They continue to raise the bar and make #boulder ever more proud. Cheers!🥂

Approaching 3 weeks since my appendectomy. Today marks a key milestone as I hiked about 2 miles without any pain. Couldn’t ask for a more scenicic and therapeuticplace to be. #bouldercolorado

Starting council break with a little reading. #bouldercolorado

Campaign season starts this week. I’m running for re-election to keep pushing for progress—because I believe Boulder should be a city that’s fully inclusive, more resilient, and vibrant for everyone who calls it home. #boulder dailycamera.com/2025/07/31/ben…

Here we go! Thanks to everyone who signed for me yesterday to certify my candidacy. I truly appreciate everyone’s support. Thanks to Elesha & John at the Clerks office for such a smooth process. #boulder

Had a fun evening for National Night Out. Visited many block parties with our first responders. I must say the water ballon toss in North Boulder got very competitive. #boulder Boulder Fire-Rescue Boulder Police Dept.

Wow what a kickoff! Thanks to the over 100 friends, community members, business owners and colleagues that came out for my campaign kickoff! I’m humbled and energized by your enthusiasm for my re-election—here’s to pushing for more progress on all fronts! #pushingforprogress

Great way to kickoff the Colorado Buffaloes Football season at the Boulder Chamber luncheon. Spending some time with CU’s biggest fan, 100 year old Peggy. It’s gonna be a great season #skobuffs #boulder

Last nights downpour was eagerly welcomed as the hot, dry days of summer wane on. Boulder is currently under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions and our wildfire resiliency takes planning, policy, and community action to build a safer, stronger Boulder. More at: mattbenjaminforcouncil.com/wildfire-prote….

We’re fully funded! Thank you to the over 150 donors who generously supported my campaign! We’re grateful to the city for matching every dollar, and now able to focus on connecting with everyone we can. #mbforboulder #boulder

Who else had the same thought following weeks of living in a blast furnace? #boulder

Thanks to the Boulder Chamber for a fantastic forum tonight! Special thanks to Jonathan Singer & Devin Edgley for their work to bring together community partners, corral us candidates. I’m energized by the opportunity to chat with our community! #boulder

So great to be at Half Fast Subs reopening with my council colleague Lauren Folkerts, after a fire destroyed their building about 9 months ago. Just in time for a new generation of students to enjoy the same great feel and sandwiches as we all remember. #boulder

Aurora over #Boulder tonight. A spectacular geomagnetic storm. The greens and pinks were easily visible to the naked eye. It’s still going on and will likely through the night. These will pulse in intensity, so just go out and soak it in.

WAIT FOR IT! A time lapse from last nights Aurora. It’s about an hour compressed into 12 seconds. You really get a feel for how dynamic the northern lights are when seen in a time lapse. #boulder #aurora

A little video I recorded for other platforms about the imminent CME arrival and solar/geomagnetic storm – which I thought might be useful here too!

Got to love a local scientist spreading the word and educating us on the incoming solar storm. #boulder I’ll be out after sunset hoping for another great display of #aurora

Great news on the #bluebellfire. Our teams did an amazing job jumping on this fire. Ironically, city council held a wildfire disaster management tabletop this past Thursday. Are teams are exceptionally well prepared. #boulder

More good news! Let’s hope for solid rain on Tuesday 🙏. #boulder
