A majority of East Colfax was added to District 8 last year during redistricting after years of it being tied Hilltop, Montclair and Lowry -- more affluent neighborhoods that had different concerns than one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city.

Revare is currently a director at Colorado Succeeds and has previously served on the Central Park United Neighbors Board of Directors and the Impact East Colfax Steering Committee. He's focused on equitably investing in neighborhoods.

Lewis currently works for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and has previously served on the Regional Transportation District's Board of Directors. Her main concerns are a combination of transportation, housing, health and education policy.
