RTD needs help
I'm Chris Nicholson
A transit rider trusted by Denver.
Here's how we fix RTD together.
Your time is valuable.
Here's why you should vote for me.
I actually ride RTD. I've taken over 200 trips since March. RTD needs frequent transit riders on the board and I'm the only one running.
I can make change happen. I co-wrote a common sense plan to fix reliability and safety. Seven RTD candidates signed on. I'm the only candidate endorsed by members of the RTD Board.
I'm doing the work. I attend the RTD meetings, advocate, criticize, testify, and work regularly with city, state, and RTD leaders, far more than my opponents.
Denver supports me. The Mayor, city counselors, state legislators, transit leaders, unions, community organizations all endorsed me because they know I give a damn and will do what is necessary to deliver better transit.
Here's my phone number. (303) 335-9728. Give me a call or a text. Voters deserve representatives who will step up. I'll be there to help and I take that responsibility seriously.

I'm running for the RTD Board of Directors in District A — here in Central Denver — because I rely on RTD and I know we can do better.
I've been politically engaged for as long as I can remember. In high school I learned to code and starting in college I got involved, using technology to help Democrats win elections. I built my professional career in public policy, technology, and professional politics.
I've spent my adult life fighting for change, first by electing great people, and next, helping craft policy solutions for immigrant entrepreneurs navigating our broken immigration system.
Outside of work, I'm active in LGBT life, a strong advocate for more housing as a leader of YIMBY Denver, a member of Upper Downtown's Registered Neighborhood Organization, Greater Denver Transit, and a proud and busy Democrat.

A Commitment to Riders
RTD has major problems, but no one can fix them alone. So I got together with six other RTD candidates and we agreed on a plan. You can read about it here or visit FixRTD.com.
Together we'll make RTD:
