The eldest daughter of Vietnamese refugees, Trần is a working mom, small business owner, and public servant running for Denver City Council District 2. Born and raised in Denver, she grew up translating for her parents at doctors' offices, government agencies, and schools. By 15, she was experiencing homelessness. By 17, she was a teen mom. She learned early what it means to navigate a system that wasn't built for families like hers, and she's spent her life since then making sure other families don't have to navigate it alone.

District 2 deserves a new generation of leadership that puts people first by meeting their most basic needs, not more of the same out-of-touch politics. Trần works in Community Outreach for the City of Denver, where she sees firsthand where City Hall has served people well and where it has fallen short. That means she knows how the city works and is ready to get to work on day one.

Far Southwest Denver deserves fresh, energetic leadership that understands today's challenges: rising housing costs, rising childcare costs, rising grocery costs, and what it really takes to keep a small business open. Trần isn't afraid to push for bold, innovative, and creative solutions for District 2.

District 2 has waited long enough. For years, the Far Southwest has been an afterthought at City Hall, and electing more of the same won't change that. We need someone who will advocate and fight for our district every single day. Trần will make sure the Far Southwest is never an afterthought again.

If honored to be elected, Trần Nguyễn-Wills will be the first Asian American and Vietnamese American to serve on Denver City Council.
