Community-minded candidates vie to serve Boulder

Two Boulder residents, separated by decades in age but sharing a strong desire to represent and serve their neighbors, are running to represent the west side of Boulder on the City Council for the next four years.

Pat Lewis, 68, and Stacie St. Clair, 41, are vying to win election to a ward-two council seat currently held by Sherry Lepley, who is not seeking reelection. Ward two covers the half of Boulder on the west side of Main Street. Drew Dawson is running unopposed to retain his council seat representing ward one.

Lewis and St. Clair are both native Montanans. St. Clair, who has lived in Boulder for 11 years, was born and raised in Lewiston and lived in East Helena before moving to Boulder. Lewis moved to Boulder with her family when she was in middle school, and she graduated from Jefferson High School in 1971. She moved to Seattle upon graduation and returned to Boulder in 1994.
