Chris Gould, Clear Creek County Commissioner, District 1.
I woke up this morning with the Dave Matthews Band song “Where Are You Going?” running through my head. As I revisited the lyrics, one idea resonated with me: there is no Superman coming to save us—only people searching for answers together. That message feels especially relevant to Clear Creek County right now.
Our community is facing real and ongoing challenges: economic pressures, I-70 impacts, wildfire and insurance concerns, and affordability and quality-of-life issues. We are past the point of easy, technical fixes. What we need now is adaptive change—thoughtful evolution that goes beyond small tweaks to how we do things.
That is why I am running for County Commissioner in District 1. My goal is not to resist change or let outside forces define our future, but to help us evolve. Evolution means preserving what makes Clear Creek special, building a shared vision for the future, and intentionally planning the steps to get there.
Through my experience as a school principal and as a board president, I’ve learned that meaningful change comes from asking tough questions, listening to stakeholders, testing ideas, and learning as we go, all guided by that shared vision.
The song ends with the words, “Where are you going? Well, let’s go.” Over the coming months, I look forward to sharing more about what the evolutionary process could look like for Clear Creek County. In the meantime, I welcome your thoughts on where we’re headed and what we want our future to be.

Lisa Manifold, Clear Creek County Clerk and Recorder
I’m Lisa Manifold, and I’m running for Clear Creek County Clerk & Recorder.
This office sits at the heart of both our democracy and our daily lives. Colorado is a national leader in secure and accessible elections, and Clear Creek has a strong record of election integrity and voter participation. I’m committed to maintaining and strengthening that legacy — ensuring every election remains secure, transparent, and accessible.
The Clerk’s office also handles the essential services we rely on every day — motor vehicle titles and registrations, preserving land and real estate records, and stewarding critical public documents. It’s detailed, operational work that requires respect for statute, process, and the people we serve.
I’ve spent nearly five years on the Idaho Springs City Council as well as various city commissions. I've been working directly with budgets, regulations, and public administration. I understand how government systems function, and I value the professional staff who already serve this county well.
Clear Creek has been fortunate to have strong clerks for decades. I’m ready to continue that tradition — with integrity, steadiness, and a fierce commitment to protecting both our democratic process and this community.
I'd be honored to have your support. Visit Lisa Manifold's website, manifoldforclerk.com
