Kimberly Gold joins Nick in Studio 809 to talk about being a new city councilor! That’s right, alongside Brandy Williams, Tom Bailey and Roland Rainey Jr., Gold is one of this city’s newest legislators. She represents the city’s district 4, which encompasses the southeast area of town, including the airport, that has been historically underrepresented and aching for economic development. She successfully ran to replace previous representative Yolanda Avila, who was a fierce proponent for the district and is now running for an El Paso County commissioner seat.Thomas Jefferson did have a recipe for ice cream and apparently popularized the French creation (or at least, that’s where he got his recipe from), but he didn’t invent it. At any rate, let’s talk about ice cream! And city government! And in the soapbox, let’s talk about school zones and how we prevent people from running over students.Follow BNLO on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok!0:00 Splash/Sponsor/Intro0:31 Greetings and Monologue2:50 Ad Break3:50 Introducing Kimberly Gold/Being Courageous6:50 What Does Colorado Springs Utilities Do?10:32 All the Emotions11:50 Opening an Ice Cream Shop16:48 Why Run for City Council?24:33 Running for City Council29:33 E-Biking Across Town36:15 Election Night37:34 Winning a Race39:40 The Role of the City49:26 Settling In53:37 That City Council Daily1:01:23 Being Nice to People1:03:59 The Legislative Work1:10:32 Nick’s First City Council Meeting1:14:38 What are you Learning?1:22:44 Interview Closeout1:25:06 Soapbox - School Zones1:44:56 Credits
