some of my enthusiastic supporters
"For the last six years, Mark has been city council's Rock of Gibraltar. Always prepared, always steady, always ready with an opinion and a solution. He invariably thinks of things that never occur to others. Mark is respectful, thorough, thoughtful, and engaged. Fiscally conservative, socially progressive, Mark finds practical solutions to our community's toughest issues. Agree with him or don't, but you would be challenged to find a more hard-working city council member than Mark. We need his wisdom, now more than ever."
Bob Yates, Former Boulder City Council Member
"Mark has a no-nonsense approach to practical City services. Only after Mark voiced his frustration over the lack of snow plowing on public streets was our street finally cleared. Thank you, Mark, for helping to ensure basic City services are provided. We need Mark Wallach re-elected so he can fix the potholes too!"
Mike Schreiner, Parks and Rec Advisory Board
"Mark is a proven leader, delivering results for the Boulder community. He understands the priorities of City Council and stays focused on what is best for Boulder without trying to solve issues outside the scope of Council’s reach."
Holli Rogin, Mayor of Lyons
"Mark is such an amazing council member - He studies the material like no one else."
Tara Winer, City Council Member
"Having served alongside Mark Wallach during some of the most turbulent and difficult years the city has faced - pandemic, mass shooting, riot, and wildfire to name a few - I can vouch that Mark always shows up and volunteers to tackle the hardest work as a council member. He does so with intelligence, grace, humility, and his ever present trademark sense of humor. I'm so grateful Mark is willing to keep doing this work; it's an honor to endorse him for reelection."
Rachel Friend, Former Boulder City Council Member
"I have had the privilege of serving with Mark on the Boulder Housing Partners Board for the past three years. We worked closely together to revive and secure affordable senior housing at the Fruehaufs site. Outside of BHP, we partnered on the airport campaign to transform the site so it better serves the entire community. While we do not agree on everything, I always enjoy working with him when our priorities align.."
Jill Alder Grano, Former Boulder City Council Member
"Boulder can’t afford NOT to re-elect Mark Wallach. He is one of the smartest, most hard-working community leaders I have ever known. He is dedicated to Boulder and his service on City Council, and I fully endorse his re-election."
Judi Amabile, State Senator SD 18
"Now more than ever, Boulder needs Mark on our city council. Mark has proven himself as a thoughtful and intelligent leader who builds bridges, listens to all sides, and makes informed decisions to advance our community’s values and priorities.”
Steve Fenberg, Former Colorado Senate President
"Mark understands the challenges that restaurant owners face and consistently looks out for the small business community. He supported keeping Pearl Street open to cars, knowing the impact that closing the street would have on retail shops and restaurants."
Kevin Daly, Restaurant Owner
“Mark Wallach represents the best of what civic leadership looks like in Colorado. He is a voice of reason in a climate that has grown increasingly toxic and adversarial — one in which civility, courtesy, and common sense are too often drowned out by hostility and extremism. In such a moment, we need more leaders like Mark Wallach, who embody the steadiness and principle of sound municipal governance. When pluralism and tolerance are under pressure, the integrity of our civic institutions is at stake. Mark Wallach is the kind of leader who can help Boulder return to its roots as a thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive community — one where a broad range of ideas can be expressed with decency and mutual regard.”
Mindy Miller, Co-founder and Co-ED of Stop Antisemitism Colorado
"I pay close attention to city government, and Mark Wallach consistently stands out for his thoughtful, well-reasoned approach to complex issues. He combines deep policy analysis with clear, precise communication -- both in writing and in public forums. I’ve also admired how accessible he is to the public. Mark is a council member you can count on to respond, engage, and help move things forward. His steady, principled presence has been a real asset to Boulder."
