Tran carries a generosity of spirit that reminds us politics can be more than transactions; it can be an act of care.

    Her leadership is not loud for the sake of noise. It is steady, deliberate, and rooted in a deep belief that people deserve dignity, not just policy. She brings a kind of selflessness rare in public life, choosing the path of service again and again, even when it demands more of her.

    Denver needs leaders who can dream with courage and act with clarity. Tran Nguyen-Wills is that leader, and I am honored to stand beside her.”

The work she and her family have done across so many different sectors in Denver has been truly amazing, and the impact has been felt for years.

    I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Tran on her California business ventures, especially in the beauty industry. In my ten years in that field, I’ve met few leaders as forward-thinking, fair, and genuinely compassionate as Tran. She leads with integrity, treats people with respect, and always chooses what’s right over what’s easy. Her mix of heart, innovation, and accountability isn’t just rare — it’s exactly what effective leadership looks like. Denver deserves leaders like Tran — compassionate, capable, and committed to making a real difference.

This land acknowledgement serves to disrupt invisibility and ongoing erasure of Indigenous people.

“We must acknowledge with respect (as a non-Native person) that the land on which we stand, live, and learn, is the traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho Peoples. We also recognize the 48 contemporary tribal nations that are historically tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado. 

We must honor Elders past, present, and future, and those who have stewarded this land throughout generations. We also recognize that government, academic and cultural institutions, our nation, were founded upon and continue to enact exclusions and erasures of Indigenous Peoples. 

May this acknowledgement demonstrate a commitment to working to dismantle ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, oppression and inequities, and to recognize the hundreds of Indigenous Nations who continue to resist, live, create, and uphold their sacred relations across their lands. We intentionally honor and celebrate the Indigenous communities in our City and express our gratitude for their ongoing contributions. Let’s not forget that this land was theirs, long before we made it ours.”
