John Lembke

With a foundation in engineering, he has tackled challenges across oil & gas, lighting, aerospace, tech, and robotics. Most recently, he led the production at a plant in Longmont, CO, producing autonomous lawn mowers.

His passion for fair elections came after a Freakonomics episode highlighted how our primary and plurality voting system amplifies extremism. That inspired him action, currently he is co‑chair of RCV for Colorado and founded RCV for Longmont, to bring ranked choice voting to our city council.

He is aligned with the Forward Party's priority of making data driven decisions to solve problems and develop policy.

Outside of work, he is a husband and father of two girls, an avid cyclist, craft beer enthusiast, and lover of the Colorado outdoors. He committed to building a future where our children inherit a more resilient democracy.
