THIS WEEK on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s another bonus interview-only episode! This time, we check in with Michael Farrington, candidate for RTD District K up in Adams county.
Michael is a fourth-generation Coloradan who grew up and lives in Commerce City with his wife Kassidy and Great Pyrenees mix Zeus.
Michael graduated from the University of Colorado Law School, where he focused on land use, housing, and local government. During law school, he worked in the Colorado Governor’s Office of Legal Counsel and served as the lead articles editor of the Colorado Environmental Law Journal. He now works with Colorado cities and towns on local government and land-use issues. Before attending law school, he worked for Denver Public Schools.
Michael also co-founded YIMBY North Metro, a housing advocacy organization focused on building more homes and creating walkable, connected communities. An actual transit rider, he is running for the RTD Board in District K, a seat representing Brighton, Commerce City, and parts of Thornton.
