Yes on 2A

2019
Initiated by Create Boulder
Role: Abra Allan – Campaign Manager

Ballot Measure 2A was a once-in-a-generation initiative to secure long-term, dedicated funding for Boulder’s arts and culture ecosystem. As Campaign Manager, Abra Allan designed and executed a comprehensive public engagement and communications strategy—aligning artists, civic leaders, and voters around a shared vision for a more creative and equitable city.

Passed in 2023 with 75% voter approval, the measure extends a 0.15% sales tax for 20 years, dedicating half of its revenue to arts, culture, and heritage. Beginning in 2025, it will generate approximately $3.8 million annually in dedicated arts funding—nearly doubling prior city support and positioning Boulder among national leaders in cultural investment.
