Amber McReynolds, the Denver director of elections, announced this week she will be stepping down from her position with the clerk’s office.

McReynolds has held the position for seven years and worked for the office for 13 years.

“I have been blessed to lead an incredibly talented and dedicated team in Denver Elections with a focus on improving the voting experience for all Denverites,” McReynolds said. “Serving the city I love in a field that I am deeply passionate about is what has made my time here so special and inspirational.”

McReynolds’ resignation will be effective Aug. 15, after which she will go on to serve as the executive director of the National Vote at Home Institute and Coalition.

In January, The Denver Post reported that McReynolds is also considering running for clerk and recorder, the elected office that oversees the Denver Elections Division. The position will be filled during the May 2019 elections, when Denver voters also will elect the mayor, City Council members and the auditor.

McReynolds told The Post that she plans to stay in Denver and is still mulling a run for office.
