Hello, I am Michelle Leuenberger and I’ve lived in Highlands Ranch for over 20 years. I moved to Colorado as a single professional after accepting a position as a market research analyst with an entertainment company. I was drawn to Highlands Ranch because of its affordable housing, good schools, open space, and easy access to the mountains. Since moving here, I’ve met and married my husband, Eric, and we are raising three elementary-aged children.
I am running for the Highlands Ranch Metro District because I believe it’s important for each of us to contribute to serving the community. My priorities include the completion of the senior center, paying off HRMD debts, and better access to affordable high-speed internet.
In addition, I would like to address the lack of public awareness and community participation in the HRMD Board of Directors elections. The HRMD is responsible for a budget of over $70M+ and 80 full-time employees. With such an important role in the community, I find it troubling that less than 5% of Highlands Ranch residents are voting for who manages the HRMD.
I have a bachelors degree in Business Administration and an MA in Communication and Mass Media. My work experience includes analytics and project management positions in market research for the entertainment, finance, and healthcare industries. I would like to put this experience to good use and continue to forge a strong relationship with the HRCA, expand public transportation options, and to ensure all voices in the Highlands Ranch community are being heard.
