Taishya Adams is running for a seat on the Boulder City Council, and the 49-year-old says she's running because she wants to make Boulder "more affordable for residents and businesses," the Daily Camera reports.
"We must work collaboratively with housing, health and human services, utilities, and natural resource offices and partners to better prepare, design, and rehab our housing inventory (such as the missing middle) and multimodal transportation responsive to different income levels and marginalized groups," she says on her campaign website.
Adams, who says she's lived in the city for 11 years, has worked as a teacher, commissioner for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and board member for the American Institutes for Research and Children's Defense Fund, among other things.
She says she's running because Boulder needs to be more resilient to climate change, be more affordable, and be "just, joyous," the Daily Camera reports.
"I am committed to strengthening our 100-year-old water infrastructure, transforming storm and wastewater collection and treatment, and planning for seven generations of Boulderites to have access to clean water," she says.
"We know a 25% water rate increase is on the horizon and can anticipate more water access and affordability challenges despite our senior water rights."
