YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Michael Farrington
I’m Michael Farrington, a candidate for the Regional Transportation District (RTD) Board of Directors, District K, in Colorado’s 2026 election. I’m a fourth-generation Coloradan who grew up in Commerce City, an RTD rider, a law school graduate focused on land use and housing, and a co-founder of YIMBY North Metro.
I grew up in the communities I am now running to represent. I understand how much families depend on reliable transportation to reach work, school, medical appointments, and other essential services.
I attended the University of Colorado Law School, where I studied land use, housing, local government, and the public policies that shape growing communities.
Today, I work with Colorado cities on land-use and legal issues. Through that work, I see how public agencies make decisions, how housing and transportation policies affect each other, and how local governments can turn practical ideas into real improvements.

Michael Farrington on Housing and Abundance
“I also co-founded YIMBY North Metro, a housing advocacy organization supporting more homes, walkable neighborhoods, and responsible development near transit.”
“Support more homes within walking distance of frequent bus and rail service, including apartments, townhomes, and other housing choices that fit different family sizes and incomes.”
“Use public land partnerships and long-term affordability tools to help preserve affordable homes and reduce displacement near major transit investments.”
