013 Lauren Folkerts, 2021 Boulder City Council Candidate

Sharing Boulder

For episode thirteen, I sat down with Lauren Folkerts in South Boulder to talk about her candidacy for Boulder City Council. Lauren is passionate about city council and jokes that it is like a spectator sport for her because she enjoys watching the meetings online and follows them on Twitter. Lauren showed me her garden and I enjoyed a handful of raspberries as we walked through her neighborhood to a nearby park where we sat and talked about a wide variety of issues including housing, building codes, transportation, social services, and bedrooms are for people, among others. A favorite moment of the evening for me was after the interview when we geeked out over her VanMoof e-bike which is wicked cool. I appreciate Lauren’s thoughtful and inclusive approach to problem solving and I admire her depth of knowledge on a wide variety of topics that we discussed.
