ENDORSEMENTS.

Curious why people think I’d be a good Trustee for the Town of Superior? Hear what they have to say in their own words…

  • “Heather has been a remarkable leader in our community for years. As the previous Director of the Superior Chamber of Commerce and more recently, as an elected Home Rule Charter Commissioner, Heather has proven that she cares deeply about our community and making an impact. I know that she will continue to make an impact as an elected member of the Town Board of Trustees.”

    — MARK LACIS, MAYOR OF SUPERIOR

  • “I’ve personally known and worked with Heather in several capacities over the last two decades including the Superior Chamber of Commerce and most recently as a fellow commissioner on Superior’s Home Rule Commission. Over the years I’ve admired Heather’s dedication and hard work that she has given to every role that she has undertaken. Her calm, level-headed, fair approach to decision making would be a complimentary addition to the Board of Trustees. Every resident can be confident that she will make decisions that are in the best interest of our town.”

    — CLINT FOLSOM, MAYOR OF SUPERIOR FROM 2014-2022

  • “In my work with her at the helm of the Superior Chamber, I experienced Heather’s strategic business support skills. As a friend, I’ve seen her commit to support for the Superior community in its moments of need. Taken together, I know Heather will be an enormously effective leader for Superior and the Boulder County region!.”

    — JOHN TAYER, BOULDER CHAMBER PRESIDENT & CEO

  • “I’m thrilled and grateful that Heather is running for a position on the Superior Board of Trustees. Her unparalleled work ethic, dedication, and level-headed approach would be a welcome addition to the dais. With her years of past service to our town, first as the Executive Director of the Superior Chamber and more recently her position on the Home Rule Commission, I have no doubt she’ll bring the same level of focus and enthusiasm to a role on the Town Board. Simply put, she would be a tremendous Trustee and I whole-heartedly endorse her!”

    — STEPHANIE MILLER, TOWN OF SUPERIOR TRUSTEE & FORMER SUPERIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOARD PRESIDENT

  • “It’s easy to find something extraordinary to say about Heather Cracraft. She’s lived in Superior for a long time, given back to her community, and has been a leader in every undertaking. What makes her stand out to me is why she wants to run: because she has something to give. We should consider ourselves fortunate to benefit from the knowledge and experience of someone like Heather. I am very excited that Heather is running for Trustee and I cannot wait to cast my vote for her in November.”

    — JASON SERBU, TOWN OF SUPERIOR TRUSTEE & OWNER OF SUPERIOR ARCHITECTS

  • "I am honored to endorse Heather Cracraft for trustee of the Town of Superior. As the former Chamber of Commerce Director, Heather has a proven track record of fostering economic growth and supporting local businesses. Her leadership in bringing together community leaders and small businesses has strengthened our Town and played a big role in making our town what it is today. With Heather as a trustee, we can expect a dedicated advocate for sustainable development, job creation, and a vibrant community and I am happy to support her."

    — CHRIS HANSON, TOWN OF SUPERIOR TRUSTEE FROM 2010-2018, HOME RULE COMMISSIONER

  • “I am taking this opportunity to strongly support Heather Cracraft as a candidate for the Town of Superior’s Board of Trustees in this year’s upcoming election. I have had the good fortune to have known Heather for many years, first in my capacity as a member of the Town’s Planning Commission for eight years and then as a member of the Town’s Board of Trustees for 9 years. I first met Heather while she served as the Executive Director of the Superior Chamber of Commerce where she was a leader in providing outstanding support to the Town. She served in that capacity for 13 years. It seemed that whenever an event was happening in Superior, Heather was deeply involved in making sure it was a success. I am happy to say that we became good friends as well when we both worked out at Boot Camp of the Rockies and then at the Blue Sport Stable. I cannot think of anyone who has been more involved in supporting the Town and there is no one that I know who is more prepared to serve this Town as a Trustee. She will be great!”

    — JOSEPH F. CIRELLI, FORMER TOWN OF SUPERIOR TRUSTEE AND FORMER PLANNING COMMISSIONER

  • “I first met Heather when she was serving as Executive Director of the Superior Chamber of Commerce. I saw right away how she was loved by all and attracted many members to the Chamber with her kind and infectious leadership abilities. In many ways, she laid the groundwork in that role for what continues to be a strong local business community. More recently, I served with Heather as a co-commissioner on the Home Rule Committee. She is a thoughtful, dedicated community member who listens and has the best interests of residents at heart. I look forward to having her as a Trustee and a strong voice for business owners in Superior!”

    — CLAIRE DIXON, HOME RULE COMMISSIONER & OWNER OF DIXON ORTHODONTICS

  • "I am excited to learn that Heather Cracraft is running for a position on the Town of Superior Board of Trustees! As Executive Director of the Superior Chamber of Commerce for thirteen years, Heather bridged the gap between Town government priorities and local business needs. She has spent countless hours with business owners developing strategies that would benefit businesses as well as the community. She attended many of the Trustee monthly meetings voicing the goals of both in-home as well as brick and mortar entrepreneurs in and around Superior. She also spoke out at Town meetings representing herself and others as residents. Heather has built a very strong base of both professional and personal relationships within the Town of Superior. She chose to rebuild her home in Original Town after the Marshall Fire. Staying committed to this lengthy project was made possible by Heather’s incredible resolve to “hold her ground” in Superior and with the strong emotional support offered by so many friends and neighbors. The Town of Superior will be well served with Heather Cracraft on the Board of Trustees. She will provide passion and expertise that will help drive the successful Downtown Superior build out. I fully endorse Heather Cracraft as a Town Board Trustee!

    — PETE MESSIMER, OWNER OF SUPERIOR LIQUOR

  • "I have known Heather Cracraft since she became the new Executive Director of the Superior Chamber of Commerce in the Spring of 2006. Then, I watched her energy and creativity lead our Chamber to new heights over the next 13 years. She was at most trustee meetings, conscientiously taking notes and observing the interactions. I know that Town leaders would reach out to Heather for her insights on various topics as she was known to have fair and impartial opinions. Her commitment and loyalty to our community is unwavering. She has a close insight into the workings of Town Government based on her Chamber leadership and involvement in producing joint Town/Chamber events over the years. I can’t think of a better person to represent our ‘Superior’ community than Heather Cracraft!”

    — CARYN GEIGER, SUPERIOR RESIDENT & OWNER OF THE GEIGER GROUP AT COMPASS

  • “I have known Heather personally and professionally for over 20 years. Of those, we served together on the Superior Chamber of Commerce for over 9 years. The whole time I have known Heather, she has been a resident and champion of Superior. She has always been steadfast, no matter the challenges, she maintains a positive attitude through it all and is pleasant to work with. She has strong moral fiber and is a fantastic leader. She takes her job seriously and has a knack for gently guiding a group with divergent attitudes. I can say without reservation, that she is one of the finest people I have ever met…a true top 1%er and the residents of Superior would be lucky to have her as a Trustee.”

    — RICK STAUFER, STAUFER TEAM REAL ESTATE

  • "II have known Heather since our children were young and we were cheerleaders on the side of the playing field. We commiserated over the navigating of parenting, careers and balancing it all.  Heather was a role model then taking the lead wherever our community needed it.  When I relocated my family back to Superior in 2019, I was excited to also open my design firm surrounded by the support and expertise of Heather at the Superior Chamber of Commerce. I learned she had moved on from the Chamber but had left a legacy of community, service, and expertise that was ingrained in future Directors of the Chamber. What I quickly realized is that her support for the community and its businesses is unwavering and she remains a champion for the community and its businesses.  I know I am not the only small business owner who has benefited from her dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to this community.  The vitality of my business and many others like mine will benefit from having a caring, focused and effective voice on the Town Board."

    — JOEY PAULL YODER, OWNER OF CURATED BY PAULL INTERIORS & PAULL INTERIORS

  • “I met Heather in 2012 when I joined the chamber as a new business owner in Superior. Heather quickly connected me with the small business mastermind group that helped me grow my business. Later as Assistant Director of the Superior Chamber, I witnessed the sheer powerhouse that Heather was at championing our businesses and town even beyond our two square miles. She partnered with chambers throughout Boulder County, as well as in Broomfield, to help our members and community thrive. I have no doubt that as Trustee she will bring this same passion for moving this town towards healthy growth.”

    — TRICIA BRZOSTOWICZ, SUPERIOR RESIDENT & OWNER OF SUPERIOR PATENT GROUP LLC

  • “Heather Cracraft would be a great candidate for Trustee! Heather has served the Superior Chamber of Commerce for over 13 years and has worked closely with the town and its residents. She is currently a member of the Home Rule Commission and is helping lead the town to success as it builds and grows.  Heather is a longtime resident of Superior and has been integral in building a community where individuals, families and businesses can grow and thrive. She knows the community and knows its needs. She is incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable. Heather has been a member of the gym that I own since early 2019 and she has been such a positive influence on creating a welcoming environment and a community that supports the residents in whatever they need.  Heather has faced more challenges in recent years than most people face in their lifetime. She lost her home to the Marshall Fire and shortly after, she lost her fiance. Heather never stopped being a pillar of strength and hope. She continued to show up and smile and work hard and check in with everyone around her.  I know Heather can contribute hugely to the future of Superior and make decisions as a Trustee that will benefit the residents and business owners. I am confident in Heather's ability to lead this town.”
