What is a CU Regent?
The University of Colorado Board of Regents is the governing body that oversees all four CU campuses: Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, and the Anschutz Medical Campus.
As an elected regent, I would be one of nine members (representing the state's 8 congressional districts and one at-large seat) responsible for setting policy, approving budgets, and ensuring CU fulfills its mission as a public university serving all Coloradans.
Key Responsibilities
The Board establishes strategic direction and stewards resources.
Setting University Priorities
Regents establish strategic direction and decide what matters most for CU's future—whether that's student success, research excellence, affordability, or community partnerships.
Stewarding Resources
The Board approves budgets, major spending decisions, and development projects. This includes deciding whether resources go toward academic programs, student services, faculty hiring, or infrastructure.
Ensuring Accountability
Regents oversee university leadership and ensure CU delivers on its promises to Colorado students, families, and taxpayers. This means tracking outcomes like graduation rates, affordability, and access.
Hiring Leadership
The Board hires and evaluates the CU President and has input on other key leadership positions across the system.
Running in Congressional District 2
I am running to represent Colorado's 2nd Congressional District. This district encompasses Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand, Jackson, Larimer, Routt, and Summit counties, as well as portions of Eagle, Jefferson, and Weld counties.
As the home of the University of Colorado Boulder, this district plays a vital role in the success of the entire CU system.
This is where I live, work, and recreate year-round.
Why This Election Matters
Regents make decisions that directly affect what students pay, what classes are available, whether advisors have time to help, and if CU resources go toward education or other ventures.
I'm running because I believe the Board should center student success and the public mission—not treat CU as a profit center. Coloradans deserve regents who will listen to workers, invest in people, and make decisions based on what's best for students and families.
