Boulder, we did it. We voted for a brighter future. 2E: Strengthening our democracy 6C: Funding our Libraries 2F: Flood protection & housing

and from that last small batch, the margins on 2E and 6C were 76% Yes and 63% Yes, respectively. 🔥🔥🔥

Boulder election results are pretty clear: YES on increased participation in our local elections, better-funded libraries, and NO on the repeal of massive flood protection, open space, and housing development at CU South! Great week for Boulder!

And huge thanks 👏👏👏 to our progressive #Boulder City Council members, especially to Nicole Speer, for setting this measure as a 2022-2023 Council work plan priority. On to more good things ✅ boulderreportinglab.org/2022/11/11/bou… YES on 2E - People for Voter Turnout

This is a really interesting development: Local elections are often SUCH LOW TURNOUT because of when they are timed, and some places are taking action to change that. x.com/boltsmag/statu…

Fantastic news! Thank you voters for giving our beloved Boulder libraries a permanently stable funding source and a thriving future. Generations of library users to come will thank you! 📚💕🤝👏
