Meet our Directors (part 2)

This week we are highlighting three WTF directors who had big parts to play in the Longmont general election.

Tim Waters

Tim Waters has held such prominent positions as Superintendent of Schools for Greeley District 6, and CEO of the educational think tank McREL. More recently, Tim served as Treasurer (and much more) for Marcia Martin’s City Council campaign. Now temporarily retired, Tim is one of the people whose initial vision is why WTF exists.

“To be engaged in a worthy cause with smart people of good will is as good as it gets. To surprise the country by sending Ken Buck back to the private sector in 2018 and to turn Colorado all blue in 2020. These are reasons why I am part of WTF Colorado.”

Marcia Martin

Marcia is a retired software and clean technology engineer who’s been featured before in the Weathervane. She will be sworn in as a member of the Longmont City Council next week.

“I do it for love. I love the brave friends I’ve met in the Resistance, the magnificent landscapes of Colorado and the fine people of CD4 who live on and work that land. I love democracy and the freedom that can only be had in a compassionate society. It’s enough.”

Rich Marsh

Rich is a practicing civil attorney and a partner in the Pipis Marsh law firm. Click the photo for more. Rich headed the Longmont campaign committee for progressive mayoral candidate Sarah Levison, advising her to hang tight until the election results are certified next week. We’re pulling for Sarah, too.

“I’ve been fighting back since Bush 2 was selected Prez in 2000. I’ve lived in CD4 & seen people living & voting against their self interest. I want to help take back a district sacrificed to the right wing cabal during the last redistricting. I like challenge & hate hypocrisy. Buck is a natural target.”
