Adam Bennett Frisch (born October 1, 1967) is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party.[1] He served on the Aspen City Council from 2011 to 2019 and chaired Pitkin County's financial review committee from 2005 to 2011.[3][4][5]

Frisch was the Democratic nominee for a house seat in Colorado's 3rd congressional district against Republican incumbent Lauren Boebert, which he lost by 554 votes and a margin of 0.16%. The narrow result was surprising to many political pundits who had expected Boebert to win by a larger margin.[6][7] In February 2023, Frisch announced his second campaign for the same seat in 2024.[8] Boebert switched districts and Frisch lost to Republican Jeff Hurd.
