"Matt understands the critical role public transit plays in Boulder and has been a strong advocate for more service and better integration with RTD. His commitment to growing the Boulder economy while reducing emissions exemplifies the thoughtful leadership Boulder needs."
- Chris Nicholson, RTD Board of Directors
"Matt is one of the most rational people I served with on the Boulder City Council. You may not always agree with Matt. But you can be certain he will make decisions based on facts and community input. We need Matt's common sense on the Boulder City Council. (Plus, he tells some awful Dad Jokes at council meetings to keep things light.)"
- Bob Yates, Former Boulder City Council
I’m proud to support my friend and colleague, Boulder City Council member Matt Benjamin, for re-election. Matt brings a rare blend of empathy and data-driven leadership to every challenge—whether it’s housing affordability, homelessness and behavioral health, or good governance. He leads with integrity, pushes for reforms that make our democracy stronger, and always keeps our community’s well-being at the center. Boulder deserves principled, pragmatic, and progressive leadership—and that’s exactly what Matt delivers.
- Judy Amabile, State Senator, District 18
