David Takahashi for Boulder City Council: Building Bridges to a Livable Future



Why I Am Running

David with his granddaughter, Eliana.
I am running for Boulder City Council as an enthusiastic champion of climate! My concern is that Boulder is not reacting as needed to the rapid and radical changes we are now experiencing firsthand. Furthermore, I am concerned about the lack of transparency in our local government and its partnership with residents.
I have spent the last few years sharing this knowledge with the greater community. However, I believe we are just experiencing the beginning of what we will see in the near future.
In my own home, I have worked to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 87% in under four years concerning energy use, waste, and transportation and have decreased water use significantly.
As your Councilmember, I pledge to provide open and strategic leadership, always listen and respond to residents, and work tirelessly to assure all residents are part of the city decision-making process. The time to act is now. We need elected representatives who are committed to looking at realistic and doable solutions.
Talking about change isn’t enough.
If elected, I will:
Accelerate
- Laying the groundwork for a Carbon Neutral City by the year 2050
Move
- Us toward an economy that works for everyone
Nurture
- The emerging Network Economy by offering Community Broadband
Build
- Walkable, affordable housing that enables teachers, nurses, first responders, and the working middle to live and thrive in Boulder
Ensure
- Your voices are heard and are part of the solution
Incentivize
- The availability of affordable alternative transportation modalities
