I’m Eric Bodenstab, and I’m running for Arvada City Council in 2025.
Our city is growing, and with that growth come challenges: homelessness in Olde Town, questions about how we spend our tax dollars, and the need to protect the character of our neighborhoods.
Too often, elections here go uncontested, and residents are left without a choice.
​I’m running to give Arvada a real voice for accountability, fresh ideas, and smarter solutions.
As a professional engineer and financial planner, I’ve built my career solving complex problems and managing resources responsibly. That’s the approach I’ll bring to City Hall — making sure every dollar counts, every decision creates long-term value, and every resident feels heard.
My focus is on building what I call a “success loop” for Arvada: addressing today’s challenges with solutions that make tomorrow stronger. This campaign is about more than me — it’s about us.
With your support, we can tackle tough issues, invest in smarter solutions, and keep Arvada thriving for families, businesses, and neighborhoods across our city. Together, let’s build a future that works. Thank you for visiting — and don’t forget to donate today!
