"Ben is a Precinct Organizer and has been for years. When he left his old precinct to move in with his fiancé (now husband), he filled an empty spot in his new precinct and recruited a new PO for his old precinct. That speaks to his dedication and reliability.
"With this grounding in our grassroots volunteer base, Ben started attending and contributing to Bylaws forums in 2022. As Bylaws Team Leader starting in 2023, he gained a holistic appreciation of how the BCDP works. I love the breadth of his vision and his concrete ideas for us going forward."
—Britta Singer, BCDP Chair, 2001–2003, current Bylaws Team Leader
"I am pleased to hear that Ben is running for BCDP Chair. Having seen him work so well and collaboratively to make significant changes to the BCDP Bylaws, and seeing how he makes the best interest of the Party foremost in his decision-making, I heartily endorse Ben for Chair of the Boulder County Dems."
—Dan Gould, BCDP Chair, 2009–2013
"The BCDP is at a crucial crossroads and we need a chair who will reinvigorate our volunteer base, bring folks into the party, and build and repair relationships across our community. Ben has proved himself to be a thoughtful, self reflective, and open leader within the party who is always respectful and willing to listen and learn from folks with different perspectives. I look forward to working with him as Chair to see our party move in a new, positive direction."
—Katie Malzbender, Fundraising Team Leader
"I have enjoyed working with Ben these last two years on the BCDP leadership team. He has made considerable contributions to the party in his role as one of the Bylaws Team Leads. He has a deep understanding of how the party works but more importantly he is kind, treats everyone with respect, and always looks for solutions. He has the experience and temperament to lead the party. I am glad he is stepping up to run for chair and he has my vote."
—Carol Teal, BCDP Treasurer
"As an Area Coordinator, I had the pleasure of working directly with Ben. He was an engaged, reliable, and diligent Precinct Organizer. I knew I could always count on him. He’s done excellent work with our Bylaws, which might seem like a dry and boring task, but one that is essential in making sure our organizational structure best meets the needs of running our county party. This work has positioned Ben well to be a qualified and effective Chair of BCDP."
—Kenneth Nova, Area Coordinator and Precinct Organizer, Boulder
"Ben has been a major contributor to the party since stepping up to be a lead on the Bylaws team, which is a critical role in the party. He has shown his dedication to the party, attention to detail, and to putting processes in place to improve the party and has been a key collaborator on much more than Bylaws. I look forward to supporting and collaborating with Ben in the role as party Chair."
—Jason Sherry, BCDP Secretary, 2017–2023; IT Team Leader since 2017, current Secretary candidate
"I have had the pleasure of working with Ben over the last few years on the BCDP Executive Committee and have found him to be very smart, open to ideas, engaged, and quite easy to work with. I think he will make an excellent chair of the BCDP and heartily endorse his candidacy."
—Joel Smith, Area Coordinator, Boulder
"I've known Ben for multiple years while I've volunteered with our Boulder County Democratic Party (BCDP). Ben has been a very active member of the BCDP's Executive Committee (EC). He has regularly spoken up at EC meetings, offering his input on the issues that the EC has debated and worked upon. His inputs have been consistently valuable and stated in clear and concise language. I believe Ben is well-qualified to serve as BCDP Chair."
