Building a more inclusive, resilient Boulder.
Hi, I’m Aaron Brockett, and I’m running for re-election as your mayor.
Hola, soy Aaron, ¡y me presento oficialmente a otro mandato como tu alcalde!
I’ve served on Boulder City Council since 2015 and as mayor since November 2021. With your support, I’ll serve a final two-year term focused on more housing choices, wildfire preparedness, climate action, and a city government that is easier to work with.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. It has taken residents, community organizations, city staff, voters, and colleagues on council working toward a better Boulder.
We still have important work ahead. People at different stages of life and different income levels need more housing options. Wildfire preparedness must remain a top priority. We need to keep reducing emissions and make it easier for people to work with the city.
I’m running to build on our progress and help make Boulder the inclusive, resilient, sustainable, and equitable community it deserves to be.
Durante los últimos cuatro años como alcalde, he trabajado duro para ayudar a la ciudad a construir viviendas más asequibles, mejores instalaciones para ciclistas, peatones y transporte público, y calles seguras para todos, en un lugar que acoge a los emprendedores, las pequeñas empresas, las artes, la cultura y las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro. He continuado mi lucha de toda la vida por la justicia social y contra el cambio climático con una acción firme a nivel local.
As Boulder’s congressman, I’ve worked in partnership with Mayor Aaron Brockett and seen his leadership up close. Aaron is a thoughtful, tested, hard-working and unfailingly kind public servant, who has led our community as we’ve faced multiple challenges.

Progress we’ve made together
Housing and stability
We’ve supported permanently affordable housing, voter-backed eviction prevention and rental assistance, and housing-focused services for people experiencing homelessness. The Day Services Center at All Roads connects people with housing resources and everyday essentials.
The city’s summer count of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness fell 48% between 2023 and 2026. That is an encouraging result, and there is more work to do. These counts measure a single night, rather than everyone who experiences homelessness over a year. Read the city’s findings.
Safer streets and a welcoming community
We’ve added protected bike facilities and intersections, pursued gun violence prevention, and worked to protect our immigrant neighbors. These efforts reflect my commitment to a city where people can move safely and feel that they belong.
Opportunity, work, and culture
Boulder established a local minimum wage and scheduled increases to raise the wage floor for workers. We’ve also worked with partners to strengthen our arts and business community. Boulder will welcome the Sundance Film Festival beginning in January 2027. Read Sundance’s announcement.
My Priorities
- More housing choices: Continue working for a wider range of homes and prices for people at different stages of life and income levels.
- Build homelessness solutions to get people off the streets and into housing
- Improve our mental health and substance abuse treatment
- Fight climate change by reducing emissions
- Wildfire preparedness and climate action: Keep reducing emissions and strengthen our community’s resilience, including additional wildfire-safety requirements in high-risk areas.
- A city that is easier to work with: Reduce burdensome regulations and improve permitting and other city processes.
Through all of this, I’ll keep equity at the center of our decisions.
