Meet Your Newly Elected City Councilors
here were three familiar faces, along with one newcomer, elected to Golden’s City Council in the November 2021 Coordinated election. Prior to taking office in January, all Councilors-elect have expressed gratitude to the people of Golden for entrusting them with four years of service on City Council. The returning Ward One Councilor is Robert Reed. According to Councilor Reed, “The last couple years have been a whirlwind of challenges and opportunities for Golden. I have been awed by our community’s response to the economic fallout from COVID-19.” Councilor Reed also said “I am honored that we are working with many of those same people and organizations, along with regional, state, and federal partners, to address other challenges, such as attainable housing and affordable living options for our workforce and our seniors, sustainability, transportation and smart growth.” Ward Two will continue to be represented by Councilor Paul Haseman. “With your engagement, the Council will be addressing many issues this next year, including management of the Clear Creek Corridor and the need for a new Civic Center,” said Haseman. “Meanwhile, we’ll

Ward Three will be represented by City Council's newest member - Don Cameron. Cameron is focused on foundational issues like how to keep Golden residents safe, dry and warm, and larger community engagement, saying “I want people to share with me their concerns about Golden, and changes they seek. They may not agree with me, or my approach, but I do hope they will have empathy for me, as I will
offer empathy for them.” Finally, incumbent Bill Fisher will again represent Ward 4. According to Fisher, “during more than 20 years of living and raising our family in Golden, I’ve seen changes in our small-town community as we grow into a thriving, energetic city designed to meet new challenges. Along the way, I’ve retained my love of Golden. And I’m thankful for the support of fellow residents who share this belief in who we are, and who we may become.” The newly elected members of council will be sworn in at the first meeting of 2022 on Tuesday, Jan. 11. Please join us at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 911 10th St., and help us welcome our new councilors. December 2021 | 5
