There probably isn’t a newspaper reporter or editor in Colorado who isn’t virtually bleeding from the eyes or fingertips at this point in the 2022 election process.
You’re welcome.
Journalists here and across the nation for the past few weeks have been poring over the campaign literature, debates, surveys and social media accounts for tens of thousands of candidates running for everything from governor to county surveyor.
It’s exhausting, sometimes amusing, mostly interesting and just as often mind-numbing work to tease out what candidates say and how it’s the same or vastly different from what they do.
This week, TheSentinelnews staff offers up a bevy of stories covering most races in the region. In addition, the Opinion department offers up the Sentinel Editorial Board endorsements for most of those races.
In addition to what you see this week in the print edition of TheSentinel, there are tens of thousands of more words from the candidates themselves in response to Sentinelsurveys, including questions about their personal lives, allowing you a look at their human sides.
DAVE PERRY Editor
While we could have beers and tears for years over all we’ve accumulated from a couple of dozen candidates over the past few weeks, allow me to offer you just a few key observations I’ve gleaned.
First off, you’re probably like me and have heard an army of Republicans bemoan a move by the Democrats in Congress and the Biden administration to hire 87,000 IRS employees.
Republicans, including many you’ll come across in our election coverage, insist that this army of IRS agents are there to shake down poor and middle-class types who just can’t catch a break.
Allow me to point out that when this argument is turned around, and if the federal government were to announced hiring 87,000 cops, most of the Republicans would not be lamenting the bad luck of all the poor and middle-class people about get the shake down for speeding tickets and sawing off the catalytic converter from their neighbor’s car.
Suddenly, that “tough on crime” and “if you can’t do the time...” mentality is far less appealing to certain voters.
There’s two other observations here escaping the Republicans wanting to fire all the IRS employees. It is a crime to cheat on your taxes, because what you’re doing is stealing from your fellow Americans.
Really.
Despite Donald Trump having bragged about how smart it was that he hired people to figure out how he could cheat on his taxes, he stole from — you.
The other overlooked problem with the GOP charge to defund the IRS is that the very people Republicans are trying to strike fear in the hearts of, the poor and the middle class, don’t ever even get a chance to cheat.
People who don’t own houses or run a business don’t get tax deductions, at all.
Really.
They take the standard deduction, file an EZ or Simple 1040 form and pay through the nose every week on their always toosmall paychecks.
Those who can squeeze a little extra out of their tax returns are the ones who mis-measure their home offices or “expense” all kinds of things as the “cost of doing business.” Those would be things like all their clothes, a snazzy car, mileage to go golfing, all kinds of things that poor workers just pay for, if they can.
I don’t mean to say that every successful businessperson or homeowner is a tax cheat, but, if you’re not cheating on your taxes, doing 95 on I-225, or dragging your neighbor’s lawn furniture into your own yard because you like it, why worry about just more IRS agents or cops jumping on the federal payroll and paying their own way?
And while the cynicism of many people about corrupt or dishonest politicians is pretty valid, I can’t impress on you enough that there really, really are passionate, caring, honest and conscientious people asking for your votes — Republicans, Democrats and none of the above.
Good and decent people have valid opinions, illustrating that a larger, hand-holding government doesn’t do any more to help people than a bare-bones government, which, in theory, costs less.
Likewise, people you really would like to spend time with believe that giving poor people and those who for eons haven’t gotten a fair shake extra help, helps them and each and every
one of us.
No matter how much you might disagree with Democratic state Rep. Tom Sullivan — whose son was murdered during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting — about banning, for good, assault-style weapons, you can’t disagree, when you talk with him, that he really, I mean really, really, never wants another dad to ever go through what he has. Don’t take my word for that. Go to the Capitol when he’s there or at a town meeting or community event. Stand near him when he talks to you and look in his eyes when he tells you about why he thinks this might be the year to save some kid’s life that, without reform, will die at the end of a gun.
Similarly, listen closely to former JeffCo Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson describe in astonishing and aching detail how difficult county elections are to pull off. Listen to her say that without seamless and devout cooperation from the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, all the safe-election rhetoric in the world doesn’t mean squat when a million moving parts stop moving. Anderson, more than anyone in Colorado right now, is probably better poised to pull other Republicans back from the brink of Trump Crazy Town because she has the credibility and the honesty to make believers out of a growing political party of people too close to the edge of reason.
Sure, there’s no shortage of people like GOP Congressperson Lauren Boebert, who ruin politics and the GOP for everybody, but they tend to flame out like stink bugs drinking melted wax unwisely from a lighted candle.

Successful political leadership is about making apt choices.
Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has accumulated a track record over the last four year of making solid decisions while guiding the state through seemingly endless crises.
His challenger, Republican Heidi Ganahl, in less than a year of campaigning for governor, has offered the public a litany of alarming judgments, creating her own endless crises.
Long before becoming a Colorado congressman and then governor, Polis boasted a record in the region for pushing his cherished cause forward: providing quality education for everyone, and especially people often left behind.
Many in the region first became acquainted with Polis not just as an energized member of the state’s board of education, but as the creator of the New America School at Lowry, in Aurora.
The unique charter school was created as a haven for minorities, immigrants and refugees struggling with jobs, real-life challenges and wanting a chance at education and a diploma.
While the equity gap in education was widening when the school opened in 2004, Polis, even then, was working to narrow it.
That same mission became a dominant theme in Polis’ campaign for governor four years ago.
Polis was steadfast in insisting that, as governor, he would evoke best practices to better serve minority and underprivileged communities, insisting that education is our communities’ most powerful equalizer.
And he did. Colorado now boasts free, full-day kindergarten for all families who want it. And last year, Polis helped push through free and expanded free pre-school offerings, especially for those families struggling to provide it.
Research and data have long shown that quality education is paramount to closing equity, health and earnings gaps among state residents, and quality early childhood education, even more so.
It’s accurate to say that without Polis driving those projects, they wouldn’t have happened when they did. In a state vastly underfunding public education, this was no small feat.
Decisions based on data, fairness and individual freedoms have long been hallmarks of Polis as a legislator in Congress, and especially as Colorado governor.
As a tsunami of confusion, fear and fragmentation enveloped Colorado while the pandemic swept into the state, Polis was a steady and successful hand at guiding the state through a blizzard of threats and unknowns.
His success then, and in most areas of policy even now, came from using vetted and transparent data as his compass.
Many federal and state agencies virtually had to invent critical health and economic policies on the fly as the world moved along through the pandemic. Publicly navigating mountains of changing data allowed Polis to build public trust and confidence in his leadership and decisions.
The result is a state that weathered the worst of the pandemic far better than almost all others, and it’s one that now boasts one of the strongest economies in the nation.
While we have sometimes energetically disagreed with Polis’ policy decisions, especially those that often favor individual or local autonomy over options prioritizing the good of the pack, his defenses are based on pragmatism and data, not politics.
Ganahl, currently an elected University of Colorado Regent, has proven herself to be anathema to that style of leadership.
Repeatedly, she has armed her campaign with populist and ill-conceived sound bites, claims and propositions.
She blames Polis for climbing inflation, which rages not just across the nation, but across the world. She blames Polis for rising crime, which also plagues nearly every state and especially large city in the country.
Ganahl has proposed a bevy of plans to cut or cancel taxes while simultaneously rocketing spending for roads. She has been pressed repeatedly by the media to produce even a rudimentary proposal and offered only vagaries and word salad.
The famously conservative Dean Singleton, former publisher of the Denver Post, in a broadcast interview of Ganahl last week called her scheme “bullshit.”
Ganahl has made clear she would work with anti-abortion-rights proponents and lawmakers to undo Colorado’s legislated protections for women. Meanwhile, Polis has unequivocally defended women’s reproductive rights in Congress and as Colorado governor.
Even at the outset of her campaign, after winning the GOP nomination in June, she hobbled her effort by selecting Danny Moore as her running mate, an outed and unapologetic election denier. Just months before, Moore was unanimously removed by both Democrat and Republican members of the state’s congressional redistricting committee for his outlandish social me-
KEVINH OUGEN, GUEST COLUMNISTAs President and CEO of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, I have the privilege of getting to meet with many of the business owners in the Aurora region. The last two years have been hard on all of them, and many are struggling to reopen their doors. For many of these employers, hiring and retaining employees has been more difficult than ever due to a lack of accessible, affordable child care.
Ask any executive and they’ll tell you that child care is a priority when it comes to retaining employees. The child care industry is the backbone of every sector of the economy. From doctors to bus drivers, every working parent needs to know that their children are being taken care of by quality child care workers in order for them to perform at their full potential.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions put in place due to COVID-19 combined with a lack of child care staff and a lack of demand for child care due to the pandemic, many child care centers closed their doors, with many closing permanently. Those that have remained open struggle to handle the greater demand for child care, leaving Colorado’s working parents with a severe child care shortage. In fact, the most recent estimates show that Colorado has a shortfall of over 95,000 licensed slots for children under age 6.
This situation has led to the gap in available, affordable child care in Colorado reaching a crisis level. The pandemic also highlighted the fiscal instability of child care with unexpected revenue lapses, regulatory complexities, and concerns about the cost of new health and safety requirements on razor-thin operating margins. This, in turn, means providers are unable to adequately compensate staff unless they increase their prices dramatically.
All of this has caused Colorado to be one of the ten least-affordable states for infant/toddler and 4-year-old care in center- and home-based settings. Colorado costs are significantly higher than nationwide averages, at $12,095 versus $9,953 nationally.
But while it was a major factor in our current
crisis, the pandemic alone isn’t to blame for our loss of accessible child care. While hundreds of licensed child care slots have been cut over the last two years, Colorado has experienced a decline in availability for decades. Between 2002 and 2018, Colorado lost more than 11,600 licensed slots in family child care homes.
This lack of affordable, accessible child care directly impacts working families and employers in Colorado, as many parents have had to make the difficult choice of staying home to take care of their children instead of reentering the workforce.
For those that have been able to remain in the workforce, many have reported at least one adverse impact on their efforts or time commitment at work due to child care problems. The predictable result: one-in-four working parents say they’ve been reprimanded, and 16 percent have been fired.
The business leader membership organization ReadyNation released a study in 2020 that examined the economic impacts of our infant-toddler child care crisis before the pandemic. What they found is staggering: Colorado loses $2.2 billion in earnings, productivity, and revenue annually. This puts a greater burden on taxpayers in the state as well, with lower earnings leading to lower tax revenues to fund public projects.
In order to help combat this crisis, it is vital that we support programs that directly help child care providers to open and expand in our state. Effective, well-funded policy initiatives that consider infant, toddler, and family child care, as well as innovations at the federal, state, and local levels can yield a child care system that will support a more productive Colorado workforce and economy.
For our state to recover financially from the pandemic and continue to grow economically, we need to ensure that parents in the workforce have access to high-quality, affordable child care. If we don’t make this a reality, we will continue to see employers and employees struggle.
Accessible, affordable child care is as important as ever for ColoradoKevin Hougen is the President and CEO of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and a member of ReadyNation.
dia remarks about the “stolen” 2020 presidential election.
Both he and Ganahl have dismissed repeated queries about his remarks or regrets, saying only that he now agrees that President Joe Biden is the commander in chief.
And just last week, Ganahl used a whirlwind tour of TV and radio media interviews to promote a repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory that public schools statewide are rife with children who identify as cats, or “furries,” wreaking havoc in public schools.
Her only proof for promoting the bizarre and dangerous dog-whistle attack on LGTBQ students is unfounded claims by apparently similarly unbelievable allies.
Almost daily, Ganahl has shown a remarkable and alarming lack of sound judgment and ability to make reasonable decisions based on facts and reality.
It would be difficult to see a clearer choice for Colorado voters than to elect Polis for another term to continue leading the state toward a better future for everyone.
We share Polis’ vision for a safer, more affordable and more equitable life for everyone here — attainable by pushing pragmatic, solid solutions based on real data and real life.
Voters should undoubtedly retain Polis as governor for another term.
If you’re looking for an affable person to share a beer and commiserate with about a long, difficult day, Joe O’Dea would fit the bill.
But if you need someone to entrust your life, and the lives of everyone around you, in as treacherous a place as the U.S. Senate, you need Michael Bennet.
It’s easy to see why Republicans nominated O’Dea, Denver’s concrete scion, to carry the GOP mantle against Bennet, the Democrat running for re-election to another full Senate term.
O’Dea’s folksy charm is the antithesis of a growing number of shrill, hyper-partisan GOP showboats screaming about the only good Democratic bill being a dead Democratic bill.
But the humble patina doesn’t cover up the fact that O’Dea is peddling the same wares as the last friendly Republican from Colorado who became a disaster after voters sent him to the U.S. Senate, Cory Gardner.
O’Dea achingly claims to be a “pro-choice” Republican on the issue of abortion and reproductive rights. But he’s only offering support for the choices he wants women to make in regards to pregnancy. Despite his nearly clench-fisted claims of being a moderate, he personally signed petitions and voted for Colorado Propo-
sition 115, a cruel proposal drastically limiting women’s access to abortion, with the clear intent of dissolving it.
Called out on that fact, he said he didn’t read the fine print before he voted, hardly a persuasive argument to send someone to the Senate where “fine print” comes not in a couple of sentences but in mountains of legislation.
On this critical issue — directly and indirectly now turned into a national crisis because of other “pro-choice” Republicans in the Senate — Bennet has been a steadfast supporter of ensuring that the government stay out of all women’s healthcare decisions, including those surrounding abortion and reproduction.
O’Dea made clear how unaware or insensitive he is about perpetuating eons of misogyny by telling 9News in an interview that he would go to the Senate to “negotiate a good bill that brings balance to women’s rights.”
Imagine an elected representative saying they like the idea of “balancing” the rights of Black people against those of whites, or the rights of the poor against those of the wealthy.
O’Dea falls drastically short of what Colorado needs in the Senate on other fronts, where Bennet has shown courage, temperance and perseverance.
O’Dea has picked up the hollow call for building Donald Trump’s wall at the U.S. border as a solution to the nation’s decades-old immigration crisis.
“Shut the border,” O’Dea said in July when interviewed by a local right-wing talk-radio personality. “That’s easy. Build the wall. Hire a contractor. I’ll take care of it. We’ll get it built.”
The wall, like Donald Trump, has been repeatedly debunked as useful or effective.
Touting his business acumen, he should know as well as anyone how critical immigrant labor has been to Colorado and the nation for generations, and how thousands of Colorado businesses are starved for labor needs unmet because of a lack of comprehensive immigration reform.
Bennet not only continuously leads in the Senate on that reform, he was one of the “Gang of Eight” in 2013, along with GOP senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio. That Senate group was able to pull off the bi-partisan coup of the decade by creating legislation combining a way to provide immigrant labor, paths to citizenship, effective border security and an end to much of the human misery that’s perpetuated after the bill languished in the GOPled House.
Bennet has long led where O’Dea falls far short even as a candidate.
O’Dea criticizes Bennet’s steadfast efforts to immediately address global climate change while growing proven industries to ensure energy independence that doesn’t destroy nearly every other economy in Colorado.
Even as thousands of Floridi-
ans suffered from yet another catastrophic weather disaster, provably made worse by global climate change, O’Dea tagged programs and legislation Bennet supports as a “far left” “war” on Colorado energy.
He conflates partisan sound bites with sound energy policy, undermining his credibility when he naively touts himself as an independent thinker, who would be an independent voice for Colorado in the Senate.
Bennet has sponsored and signed on to legislation, consistently, that recognizes the climate crisis for what it is, a real and increasing threat to Colorado’s rural, agricultural, recreation and growth industries. Bennet has shown great fortitude in pushing back on the philosophy that reverting to energy and economic policies of the 1980s are good solutions to the problems of the decades ahead of us.
Likewise, with crime and gun violence prevention, Bennet has worked to push through sensible and practical solutions that are based on decades of data and successful implementation, not talk-radio fear-mongering. He and other Democrats and Republicans have been stymied by the GOP partisan logjam sworn to undermine political enemies at all costs, even at the expense of the nation.
Bennet’s long and well-documented track record in the Senate as a successful and persistent advocate for the working and middle class communities is needed more now by Coloradans than ever before.
Voters should send Bennet back to the Senate for another term.
Regardless of which political party controls the U.S. House after the election, Aurora is fortunate in knowing that either congressional candidate from here can be trusted as sincere and honest.
Republican Navy veteran Steve Monahan is seeking to unseat Army Ranger veteran Jason Crow as the region’s 6th Congressional District House representative.
While military service is not a reliable indicator of legislative success, in the case of Crow and Monahan, it’s clear that considerable military tenures impressed them both with demands for personal integrity.
In a state, and a nation, where such integrity seems to increasingly be a rarity in politics, being able to focus on these two candidates’ policy positions, rather than their emotional stability, is a virtual luxury for voters.
It’s that distinct policy difference that sets Crow and Monahan apart and draws The Sentinel to recommend voters continue standing behind Crow as their representative.
Seeking a third term here, Crow has proven himself invaluable in the House to lead members toward creating a nation that lifts up men and
women previously overlooked because of poverty, gender, sexuality, race or their lack of powerful lobbyists in the U.S. Capitol.
Just as importantly, Crow has shown himself an invaluable defender from an increasingly shrill and delusional faction of far-right political might determined to undermine the nation by either flirting with election denialism, white nationalism and theocracy, or, as in the case of Colorado GOP Congressperson Lauren Boebert, passionately embracing it.
Crow bravely stands behind practical legislation, such as a national ban on assault-style weapons, which he eloquently and consistently helps people understand are weapons of war promulgated by a cynical gun industry at the expense of the lives of thousands of Americans.
From nearly the day he was first sworn into office, he has been a staunch ally of people cruelly and unfairly imprisoned in for-profit immigrant prisons, including a notorious facility in Aurora. His advocacy for justice and humane policy has resulted in much-needed transparency at such prisons.
Crow has been elevated as a key House proponent for what is now a new fight in the women’s reprpoductive and abortion rights.
And he has hardened his reputation as a proponent of ensuring that states and cities ensure police and others treat all Americans, including people of color, with transparent fairness, equity and dignity.
Despite claims to the contrary by Monahan, Crow’s agenda closely parallels that of the vast majority of Aurora residents and voters.
Monahan sees the need for solutions to crises surrounding immigration, growing crime rates and seemingly endless inflation. But he’s wrong in thinking that so-called tough on crime, immigrant and federal budget measures will move the needles in the right direction.
History has shown repeatedly that as attractive as “workfare,” lock-them-up, build-a-wall soundbites sound to weary voters, the past and the science make clear that those failed policies will only fail again.
Whether the House sheds distracting and delusional members like Boebert, GOP representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Goetz, or whether they increase the ranks of unstable and subversive lawmakers like them, Colorado and the nation will need Crow and more like him to lead past seemingly endless crises and alarming enemies from within.
Voters should not hesitate to return Crow for another term.
Take exception all you want to Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold’s secure-election tactics.
The first-term, top state election official’s full-steam-ahead media pushback against election deniers, and people admittedly trying to un-
dermine state elections, Griswold is at the front of the parade to undo damage to voter confidence.
Voters should keep her in office for the next term to safeguard a state few would ever think needs election integrity protection.
The Sentinel stands with Griswold and others like her in calling out election deniers and those who passively or passionately distribute disinformation about election integrity in the state. Those who partake even in passing along “well, everyone has questions” have not a single reason to doubt Colorado’s election security.
There is not one piece of evidence anywhere to suggest that elections here have been compromised by widespread or insidious fraud. Nothing.
What does create a risk to Colorado election integrity is baselessly doubting the process based on a flood of disinformation, mostly coming from corrupt Republicans such as Donald Trump and indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who have actively attempted to interfere in the election process, according to court records and witness testimony.
In Trump’s case, the former president tried to undermine and overthrow the presidential election in an effort to overrule voters and appoint himself president.
They selfishly do the bidding of Russia and China, which experts say purposely work to distress the united part of the states here, weakening America’s global stature.
While her critics have labeled Griswold’s work partisan, we have not seen any evidence of anything more partisan about Griswold’s tenure and decisions than those of the Republican secretaries of state accused of partisanship before her.
This week, it was Griswold’s office that came forward with the mistake about mailing voter registration advisement notices to 30,000 ineligible potential voters. The glitch was regrettable, verifiable and hardly partisan or nefarious.
Likewise, her opponent, former Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson has been accused of secretly siding with Republican extremists and deniers, because they’re Republicans, too.
There’s no proof of any such thing. Anderson has been consistent and relentless in calling out election deniers among her own party.
She’s in a perfect position to bring fellow Republicans back from the edge when they buy into the election fraud hoax. As clerk of one of the state’s largest counties, she knows firsthand how much security, transparency and accountability is built into the election system at the ground level. As a Republican, she holds a unique position of credibility in being able to help fellow Republicans find their way back from the depths of denialism.
If elected, Anderson would clearly make a trusted and effective secretary of state.
But she cannot match Griswold’s
passion for outwardly undermining attempts by state and national officials to cast doubt on election integrity, or worse yet, actively undermine it in the way Trump and officials in other states have tried, and still more want to.
While The Sentinel has cautioned Griswold about minding even the appearance of impropriety as a way of ensuring her credibility, she’s done nothing more than fiercely drive into efforts to cast doubt or actively undermine election integrity.
And that’s what the job calls for right now. Voters should return Griswold to office.
Colorado legislators will face a virtual sea of challenges next year, stemming from the pandemic, the economy, climate change and problems past legislatures might have addressed but haven’t come close to solving. TheSentinel Editorial Board has looked closely at a variety of candidates and races and makes its recommendations this year chiefly on potential lawmakers’ ability to achieve results in protecting women’s health and reproductive rights, reducing crime and drug addiction, stabilizing the economy, improving public education, improving and reforming police services and improving the affordability of health care.
TheSentinelrecommends these candidates this year for state House and Senate seats representing the greater Aurora region.
Democratic state Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet has worked hard to improve the accessibility of mental health services for Colorado residents, especially minors. Michaelson Jenet was instrumental in helping pass legislation that provides at least three mental-health sessions to minors, regardless of ability to pay. She’s been keen now on helping ensure that not only do Colorado residents have access to mental health care, but that the systems and industries themselves have the resources to meet increasing demand.
Michaelson Jenet has also been a strong proponent of ensuring women’s unfettered access to reproductive healthcare.
Her record is a robust catalog of support for ensuring quality education and reliable, affordable health care services are available for every Colorado resident.
We’ve previously pointed out to readers that Democratic state Rep. Mike Weissman has been a consistent force for thoroughness as a lawmaker, often pointing out critical nuance or potential unintended consequences of legislative proposals.
He’s also earned the reputation of being the conscience of the House, making clear when well-intended laws and dubious proposals have the potential to run over people with little means of recourse.
But Weissman’s real strength for Aurora is in standing behind policies that offer security and strength to those without powerful lobbies under the Gold Dome. Weissman is a reliable ally for people and families who struggle against bureaucracies and systems that too often become insurmountable for those who don’t boast economic, educational or racial privileges.
His recent work on changes to public schools and higher education, promoting new and expanded concurrent education programs, are precisely the kind of reforms that benefit not just individuals, but the entire state.
Redistricting last year created a vacancy in this district in the metro’s southeastern reaches. The clear choice for realistically addressing increased crime, flagging public education and endangered rights of women seeking health care is Democrat Ruby Dickson.
Republican Paul Archer has a proven track record of community involvement and identifying the needs of people too often overlooked or overrun by government bureaucracy or legal loopholes.
But his promises fall far short of what’s needed to ensure women’s reproductive and abortion decisions remain free from government intrusion. Archer says he will “say yes to protecting the rights of the unborn, with exceptions to rape, incest, and health of the mother and say no to late-term abortions.” It’s that kind of misunderstanding about ignoring a woman’s right to privacy and control of her own body that has led to a growing health care crisis created by government intervention in abortion rights.
Dickson has made it clear she understands that no government interference means just that. She’s a vocal proponent of ensuring that all Colorado residents enjoy equal rights, free from government oversight or regulation. Her policies closely align with success created in recent past legislatures, especially in areas of boosting the lives of senior residents and strengthening public schools.
Incumbent Democratic state Rep. Naquetta Ricks is the voice of reason and progress in this southeast Aurora district.
While Ricks and GOP challenger Le Sellers both use their campaigns to talk about important issues such as criminal justice, education and promoting the growth of small business, Sellers paints a false and dangerous narrative about public schools.
Sellers wants the Legislature to force schools to focus on what he says are missing basic skills, presuming public schools don’t do that. While we agree that standardized test scores are dismal and that the socalled minority gap on testing for basic skills is even more alarming, we, and Ricks, understand it’s a complex dilemma and not a problem with curricula focused on frivolous subjects other than basic skills.
Much more troubling, Sellers repeats lurid, debunked and dangerous propaganda as campaign fodder. Sellers says Colorado schools have “a hidden agenda, the sexualization of the youngest in society.”
Such irrational conspiracy theories have no place in serious conversations about public education.
Ricks is the rational and persistent voice for practical progress.
Like most local prosecutors, she sees the value in successful and restorative justice programs that end criminal behavior rather than perpetuate it with “school to prison” pipelines, boosting recidivism and endless social problems.
Ricks is also a key watchdog for small businesses in Colorado, working to ensure new ideas or old problems are held to the touchstone of how struggling small businesses can accommodate costs and bureaucracy.
Voters have a clear choice here, and should send Ricks back to the Capitol for another term.
Both candidates in this central Aurora state House district have compelling ideas about how to address a growing crisis for residents here, and across the metroplex: affordable housing.
GOP challenger Stephanie Hancock would like to lead the Legislature in forcing municipalities to reduce or eliminate many construction fees, possibly encourage builders to create some income-driven housing options, and intriguingly, ensure zoning for tiny home communities. No doubt local cities and counties will object to builder fees they say are critical to quality growth.
Jodeh, who’s focused a great deal of her first term on the growing affordable housing problem, wants to return to the Capitol to work on inclusionary zoning laws, requiring home builders to include affordable options in housing developments.
Hancock, however, misses the Aurora mark by following other Republican candidates in hoisting the region’s surging crime problem to the front of her campaign without offering realistic, practical solutions.
She blames “defunding police” on the local crime problem. Neither Aurora, Arapahoe County nor any state police agency has been “defunded” nor even seen anything but budget increases for years.
She also is off-base with blaming dismal student achievement scores
on a lack of school choice. Colorado residents, including those in Aurora, enjoy some of the most liberal school choice and charter school options in the nation.
Jodeh has a much more practical and needed agenda by wanting to focus on practical ways to close socalled achievement gaps in schools, drawing agencies, governments, schools and communities together for collaborative solutions.
The Sentinel strongly suggests another term for Jodeh.
There’s virtually no choice other than re-electing Democrat Mandy Lindsay to her House District 42 seat.
Republican challenger Cory Parella has created what appears to be some sort of parody campaign, sometimes worryingly serious in tenor, other times surreal and comical.
Fortunately for voters in this central Aurora district, Lindsay proved to be a conscientious and energetic steward for strengthening public schools, accessible healthcare for all Colorado residents, especially mental health care, and ensuring women’s unrestricted access to reproductive health services. As an intriguing way to address surging housing prices in the area, Lindsay proposes prohibiting for-profit corporations from owning single-family homes. Some area real estate experts have blamed mushrooming home prices during the past few years on commercial investment firms, paying big cash asking prices and pushing borrowing families out of the market.
Kathleen Conway
It’s time for voters in this southeast Aurora, Arapahoe County and rural region district to make a change for their own benefit and everyone in the state.
Incumbent GOP state Rep. Rod Bockenfeld was a strong voice of prudent spending and limited government when he served on the Arapahoe County commission.
Those strengths did not translate well when he won a state House seat two years ago. His voting record and his campaign promises make it clear his constituents need to find a better representative at the Capitol.
Bockenfeld is practical and spot on in suggesting innovative ways to reduce road congestion without having to build vast rivers of unsustainable highways in the region. He suggests state incentives for having businesses alter “office” work days and promoting home office jobs.
But when it comes to how best to increase public safety while ensuring people of color in Colorado can be confident their local police will treat them without bias or even abuse, Bockenfeld is dead wrong.
He says that recent legislative changes ensuring statewide police reform, transparency and accountability are destructive “knee-jerk
reactions” to the police murder of George Floyd.
The evidence in Aurora and in many cities across the nation is unequivocal that there are pervasive practices of abuse and racism in police departments. Mandated changes in the Aurora Police Department after the death of Elijah McClain are not knee-jerk changes, but the beginning of reforms that will need staunch support at the state and local level.
Conway is the candidate to ensure that critical support.
“Every police agency should have an oversight mechanism,” Conway said in a survey from The Sentinel.
She understands that transparency and accountability can help reform bad police departments, strengthen languishing departments and bolster successful police agencies.
One of the biggest differences between the two candidates and the most compelling reason to vote for Conway is their views on reforming a broken health care system bleeding consumers, businesses and the state and national economy.The Sentinel advises a vote for Conway in this race.
While both Tom Sullivan and Tom Kim offer compelling ideas and reasons to support them, the clear choice here is the known quantity in Democratic state Rep. Tom Sullivan, running for this open Senate District 27.
Republican political newcomer Tom Kim, a Centennial lawyer and consultant, is clearly a thoughtful and cautious candidate, telling The Sentinel that uncertainty and curiosity has left him without a strong opinion on some front-row controversies.
Sullivan, a retired postal worker and Air Force veteran, has a proven track record at the Capitol of being a vaillant voice for working families, people often overlooked by government agencies, funded lobbyists and others.
Both candidates push public safety and education to the front of their campaigns, but they part ways on women’s reproductive rights.
Kim said the Colorado Legislature this year went “too far” in legislating the government out of abortion decision making, saying that he supports some restructions. Women’s rights should not be subject to any government restrictions. Sullivan has been a strong voice and vote on reproductive rights issues and will continue to be in the Senate.
Most important is Sullivan’s unparalleled press for ending gun violence in Colorado. His son, Alex, was murdered during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting.
The death propelled Sullivan as first an activist and now a legislator, committed to finding practical and effective ways to reduce all gun violence in the state. His work on that issue alone warrants his support and a vote to carry on as Senate District 27 representative.
We know voters and potential voters will have questions about how voter registration works, how mail-in ballots work, how ballots are counted and more. The Colorado News Collaborative and its members, including Sentinel Colorado, want to answer those questions. We contacted the Secretary of State’s Office, county clerks and other resources to respond.
When do elections officials start counting our ballots?
Elections officials may start counting ballots 15 days ahead of the election, on Oct. 18. But first, elections officials must verify the voter signature on the envelope. (See below for information about how signatures are verified.) The early counting relieves some of the Election Day crush, but no results will be made public until after polls close at 7 p.m. Nov. 2. Not even elections officials know the results until then because computer software prevents the count from being revealed until after polls close. Even with the head start in the count, full results in super-close contests still might take a few days.

How do I know if I’m registered to vote?
GoVoteColorado has a range of information on registration, including the ability to register to vote if you have a Colorado driver’s license or ID card.
What’s the difference between an “active” voter and an “inactive” voter?
A voter is considered active if they’ve voted in the most recent elections or updated their address or other registration information. A voter is considered inactive if their county clerk receives returned mail marked “undeliverable.”
Under federal law, clerks must wait two general election cycles before removing inactive voters from the database. Again, you may check GoVoteColorado to see if your registration is active and update your information if it isn’t.
What if I’ve moved?
This link also will allow you to change your address: www. sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/pub/olvr/findVoterReg.xhtml
What if my name changed?
You’ll need to fill out this form and take it to your county clerk or mail it to the Colorado Secretary of State: www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/vote/VoterRegFormEnglish.pdf
How long do I have to register?
You must register by Oct. 31 to get a ballot in the mail (but you’ll need to return it to a vote center or drop box). But you may register and vote in person at vote centers through 7 p.m. on Election Day.
What signature is used to validate the one on my returned ballot envelope? My signature has changed over time.
The most recent signature on a state transaction is used as a reference — typically a recent driver’s license or the signature on the last ballot you returned. All past signatures are available for election judges to review.
If election judges question your signature, you’ll get a notice from your clerk within three days (two if it occurs on Election Day) and you’ll have eight days to verify the signature is yours.
Do I have to request a ballot from my county clerk or the Secretary of State?
Not if you’re an active registered voter. County clerks automatically will begin mailing ballots to active registered voters on Oct. 8. Again, a voter is considered active if they’ve voted in the most recent general elections or updated their address or other registration information.
When will I get my ballot in the mail?
The first day ballots may be mailed is Oct. 8, a Friday, and they must be sent out by Oct. 15 at the latest. If you sign up for ballot tracking, you’ll get an alert when your ballot is in the mail.
How do I know if my ballot was received?
Voters statewide may sign up to track your ballot online. You’ll get notifications via email, text message or phone (you may choose) when your ballot is mailed, and when it has been received and accepted. A dozen Colorado counties already offered ballot tracking, so if you’re already signed up, there’s no need to do it again.
How do I return my ballot?
Ballots must arrive at a vote center or county clerk’s office by 7 p.m. Nov. 8. You may mail your ballot back, if there’s enough time for it to arrive. Remember: postmarks don’t count, according to the Secretary of State. The ballot has to be in the physical possession of elections officials on Election Day — not sitting in a blue box somewhere in the metroplex.
You may also deliver it to drop boxes at your county clerk’s office or other locations in your county. About 75% of Colorado voters return their mail ballots to drop boxes, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
What if I don’t get my ballot?
Check GoVoteColorado to see if your ballot has been mailed. If it has been mailed and you haven’t received it, contact your county clerk’s office and ask. Not every county will send ballots out the first day possible. But they need to hear from you if you don’t receive yours.
I won’t be here during the time ballots are mailed out? Can I get a ballot earlier? Or have one mailed to a different address?
Yes. And, as of now, you may be able to pick up a ballot before you leave. Contact your county clerk to work out details if you want to pick up a ballot or have it mailed to a different address.
Are drop boxes safe from tampering?
Yes, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. They are under 24-hour video surveillance and are emptied every day by a team of bipartisan election judges. The sturdy, metal boxes are bolted to the ground.
If I send my ballot back by mail, will it get there?
The Secretary of State recommends delivering ballots in person in the final eight days before the election. If you mail them before that, they should arrive in time.
What prevents me or anyone from voting twice: in person and by mail?
First, envelopes the ballots are returned in have barcodes unique to the individual. When the envelopes are received by clerks, they are scanned in and poll books are updated to show that the person has voted. So if someone sent in their mail ballot and it was processed, and then showed up to vote at a polling place, the poll worker checking them in would be able to see that they had already voted. Or, if the person votes early at a polling place, then also casts their mail ballot, their mail ballot will not be accepted for counting.
It is illegal to vote more than once. If someone votes in person and by mail, county clerks are required to provide that information to the district attorney or state attorney general for prosecution.
I don’t want to vote by mail. I want to vote in person.
Colorado will open about hundreds of voting centers and drop boxes the last week of October. You may vote there in person starting then through 7 p.m. Election Day with some limited weekend hours.
How can I be sure my vote is counted on Election Day?
Sign up to track your ballot. If it doesn’t arrive within a few days of being mailed, contact your county clerk. Return your ballot to a drop box or through the mail, and the ballot tracking system will let you know when your ballot is accepted. That means your vote will be counted.
Here’s a tip: The sooner you return your ballot, the sooner the texts, emails and phone calls nagging you to vote will stop. Campaigns and political parties get information daily on who has voted, and they stop contacting those voters.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8, but registered voters in Colorado will start receiving mail-in ballots after Oct. 10. Colorado began statewide vote by mail in 2013, although some counties adopted mail ballots before that.
ety of polls so far show Bennet lead-
ing by at least six points. But many politicos aren’t counting O’Dea out yet, especially with the plethora of important issues at play: inflation and the economy, the future of abortion rights, gun control, global warming and a worsening water crisis in the West, election security, and intensifying global conflict in Russia and eastern Europe.
to secure in the American Rescue Plan that gave families up to $300 a month per child to help them pay for rent, groceries, school supplies, and more.”
O’Dea claims that “reckless spending” has accelerated inflation in the U.S.
change and reforming immigration policies.
On healthcare, Crow said he supports a federal single-payer system. Monahan said he would prefer the government stay out of healthcare.
Democrat Michael Bennet has served as a U.S. Senator to Colorado since 2009, when he was appointed to the position after Ken Salazar was appointed Secretary of the Interior. Prior to his time in federal politics, Bennet was at the helm of Denver Public Schools for four years. He also worked in the private sector, as the managing director for the Anschutz Investment Company. After leaving Anschutz, Bennet served as chief of staff to then-Mayor John Hickenlooper, who is now the junior Senator for Colorado. Bennet is married and has three daughters.
Joe O’DeaAbortion became an early contender for the race’s defining issue. Early on, O’Dea said he supported access to abortion in the early weeks of pregnancy, but later clarified that he only supports it after 22 weeks in cases of incest, rape and medical necessity. He now touts pro-life endorsements prominently on his website.
O’Dea has told Colorado media outlets that he voted for a ballot measure in 2020 that banned abortions after 22 weeks of gestation and considers 20 weeks the point of vitality. Data shows that abortions rarely occur after 21 weeks. Recent stories showed he was an original proponent of the measure.
In September, O’Dea released a campaign ad that again reinforced his stance on abortion.
“For the first five months, that should be a decision for her and her doctor,” he says in the ad.
Democrats have pounced on O’Dea’s stance, saying it hearkens back to another Colorado Senate abortion controversy.
This is not the first time women’s rights have become centerstage in a Colorado Senate race. Mark Udall made it the centerpiece of his campaign in 2014, when he lost to Cory Gardner, who then lost to John Hickenlooper.
“With a substantial portion of spending cuts, we should drive down the deficit. We need to get the deficit back to pre-pandemic levels, and work in a concerted way to fully balance the budget over time,” he proposes on his campaign website. “The other part is reprioritizing federal spending. We should zero-out the 87,000 new IRS agents and cut the federal bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., and make a massive investment in border security — including a border wall — and hire more police to protect our neighborhoods and schools instead.”
Congressman Jason Crow, who was elected in 2018 after defeating now-Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman by 10 points, is again facing a GOP candidate with military credentials.
Navy veteran Steve Monahan — who, like Crow, enrolled in the military after 9/11 — unsuccessfully ran for a state House seat in 2020 against Rep. Meg Froelich.
“I’d like to think that there’s a groundswell of support for conservative ideals, especially fiscal,” Monahan told Colorado Politics during that bid. “I’d like to see a good balance ... of conservative and liberal ideas, to come back to the best solutions of what’s best for the state, not just what’s expedient for one party.”
Monahan says on his Congressional campaign website that he’s running “because of concerns about rising crime, inflation, parental role in their children’s education, immigration, and wariness of an encroaching bureaucratic state that can eventually eclipse liberties.”
Crow was an Army Ranger, serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Monahan was part of a team of “goodwill ambassadors” for the Navy branch, which led him to more than 40 countries.
“If the government could fix the problems associated with healthcare, they surely would have by now,” he said. “Perhaps it’s time to acknowledge that the government is ill equipped to ensure competitive pricing and innovation in healthcare.”
Monahan also said Congress should stay out of regulating abortions.
“When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, they returned abortion to a state’s rights issue. I do not believe U.S. Congress should make any federal legislation on abortion, allowing either party to use this to their advantage at every election, further dividing Americans at every level.”
Crow said he’d support an effort to codify abortion rights at the federal level.
On the campaign finance front, Crow is far outraising — and outspending — his opponent. In the first half of the year, Monahan raised nearly $80,000 and spent about $26,000. Comparatively, Crow has raised $1.9 million and spent $1.1 million. $60,000 went to organizations to spend on other races, some down ballot in Colorado.
Republican Joe O’Dea is a construction company owner in Denver. He dropped out of college while studying construction management to start his firm, Concrete Express, and now employs more than 300 people. This is his first candidacy. O’Dea was raised in southeast Denver. Today, O’Dea lives with his wife in Denver and together operate event centers near Empower Field at Mile High. They have one daughter.
With just less than a month before the midterm election, it’s still wholly uncertain whether Republicans will take back control of the U.S. Senate, but a handful of close races, including a few longshot races like the one in Colorado, could swing the pendulum back in the GOP’s favor.
Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, running for re-election against Republican first-time candidate Joe O’Dea, won 48% of the vote in 2010 and 50% of the vote in 2016. A vari-
Elsewhere on the topic of healthcare, Bennet said he sees “opportunities for bipartisan progress to increase transparency and competition in the health care sector, expand access to telemedicine, and streamline bureaucracy to lower costs and accelerate proven treatments, similar to my bipartisan bill with Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina that fast-tracked drugs for serious diseases, like cancer.”
O’Dea, who says he’s supported some aspects of former President Barrack Obama’s landmark Affordable Care Act, prefers getting government “out of the way” to spur competition.
“This is about making sure consumers have more choice—making sure we have more competition in the marketplace. That’s how we can drive down costs. I support reforms that would allow more portable coverage and allow employees to have more control over their health spending, while also giving employers more options,” he said. “States should be empowered to approve health insurance plans tailored to consumers’ largest needs.”
The two are also tackling the issue of inflation while campaigning across the state.
“Inflation has made a difficult situation even harder, and it’s put tremendous strain on Colorado families. We need to do more to bring costs down,” Bennet said in a candidate survey. “We can start by making the expanded child tax credit permanent, a bill I fought
Steve Monahan is running as a Republican to represent the 6th Congressional District. He is a Navy veteran who was raised in Texas, after being born in Guam. Monahan joined the military after 9/11. While serving abroad, he met his wife in Italy. Prior to the 2008 recession, Monahan was working on a finance degree in Tennessee. He now lives in Greenwood Village with his wife and three children. Monahan unsuccessfully ran for a state House district seat in 2020.
Now, the two candidates call the south Denver metroplex home and want to serve the more than 800,000 residents in Congress. The 6th Congressional District stretches from Highlands Ranch to Parker, through Aurora and up to Brighton. The district’s boundaries were redrawn last year — which resulted in losing some of the most conservative precincts near Highlands Ranch and gaining more purple areas of Jefferson County.
In 2020, Crow was reelected over Republican challenger Steve House, the former state Republican Party chairperson, by 17 percentage points. Since his last campaign, Crow has had a front row seat to a plethora of main political events, including the Capitol insurrection in 2021. Crow was in the House chamber when the doors were barricaded. He helped fellow members remove identifying pins in case the attackers broke through the chamber doors.
Jared Polis
Jason Crow, a Democrat, has served as the Congressperson for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District since 2018, when he beat now-Mayor Mike Coffman, the Republican who represented the district for a decade. Crow is a former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient, having served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Prior to running for office, he worked as an attorney in Denver, where he also attended law school. Crow has two children.
Monahan said in a candidate survey that if the individuals close to former President Donald Trump were honest in their testimony to Congress about the leader’s knowledge and actions on Jan. 6, he “bears responsibility.”
“That being said, there is a difference between responsibility and intent,” Monahan said. “I believe that it will be up to the American people to ultimately decide and will hold him to account accordingly at the ballot box.”
A slate of issues make up Crow’s platform, including bettering the economy, enacting campaign finance reform, acting on climate
Jared Polis is the current governor of Colorado. He was elected in 2018 after serving a decade representing the state’s second congressional district in Washington, D.C.
Prior to politics, Polis made millions of dollars in business ventures. In college, he founded an internet provider service and later an online florist company and a greeting card company. He is a father of two, married to Marlon Reis, and Polis is the first openly gay governor in the U.S.
Heidi Ganahl
Heidi Ganahl is an elected member of the University of Colorado Board of Regents. The former CEO of Camp Bow Wow, a pet care company from Lone Tree earned her bachelor’s degree from the university and then went on to graduate school at the University of Denver. Ganahl is a mom of four and married to Jason Ganahl. She started a brand with her daughter in 2019 called “SheFactor” aimed toward young adult women.
For all of the accomplishments
Gov. Jared Polis touts from his first four years as Colorado’s top state lawmaker, GOP challenger Heidi Ganahl says, if elected, she’ll work to reverse it.
“When people ask me what I’m going to do as governor, I say I’m going to undo a lot of the damage that has been done,” the University of Colorado Regent and business owner said at a debate in Pueblo last month.
Ganahl, whose campaign did not respond to multiple requests for a candidate survey, has echoed party calls for increased public safety funding and tougher drug offender policies.
“We need to return to law and order, with a strong parole board, truth in sentencing, and bail reform that does not allow for the release of repeat offenders,” she says on her campaign website.
Ganahl said she vows to make any amount of possession of fentanyl a felony, reversing a 2022 bipartisan legislative decision to decriminalize the possession of a gram or less of fentanyl. In the Pueblo debate, she said she’d go as far to declare a “state of emergency” over fentanyl use in Colorado.
She also vows to “fire the parole board and replace them with people ready to protect our communities” and “appoint judges who will uphold the law as written.”
On crime, which has seen a national increase amid the pandemic, Polis says his administration is “improving public safety by expanding background checks on gun purchases while making sure local law enforcement have the tools they need to fight crime and doing more to prevent crime in the first place by expanding drug treatment and mental health services.”
The same fentanyl bill Ganahl points to as a disaster for Colorado, Polis says has actually helped by providing $54 million to state agencies for prevention, education and treatment.
The two business owners have also barbed one another about Colorado’s economy. Ganahl has outlined ways she’d save the state money: enacting a state hiring
freeze on public workers, shrinking the size of Colorado’s government by 10%, and “ask(ing) the people of Colorado to approve TABOR Refunds as permanent income tax reductions.”
She’s particularly faced criticism about her tax plan. Last month, at a forum, moderator Dean Singleton, former editor and publisher for the Denver Post, said her proposal for zero income tax and reducing the gas tax by half was “bullsh*t.”
“Well, a lot of people across Colorado think the government’s total bullsh*t right now, Dean,” she responded.
The Polis administration worked to get $750 checks to individuals and $1,400 checks to joint filers earlier this year. While he called it the “Great Colorado Payback”, it was the product of TABOR and not directly the doing of Polis.
Beyond that, Polis says he’s saved Coloradans money in other ways, such as signing a bill that caps the price of insulin and approving full-day kindergarten and universal pre-school, which were campaign promises he previously made.
On education, Ganahl has doubled down on a claim that children in at least 30 Colorado schools are dressing up in animal costumes and identifying as cats.
“Yeah, kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it’s happening all over Colorado, and schools are tolerating it. It’s insane!” she said during an interview radio interview last month. “What on earth are we doing? Knock it off. Schools, put your foot down. Like, stop it. Let’s get back to teaching basics and not allow this woke ideological stuff to infiltrate our schools. And it is happening here in Colorado. It’s why I moved from Boulder Valley to Douglas County, because it was happening in my kids’ schools four years ago.”
So far, no school district in Colorado has identified kids claiming to be animals in their classrooms.
“It’s disappointing that our opponent is focusing her time on conspiracy theories and shaming Colorado kids,” a spokesperson for the Polis campaign told Westword about the claim. “It just goes to show you how extreme and out of touch she really is. Meanwhile, Governor Polis is focused on empowering parents and helping kids get a great education in Colorado, starting with high-quality preschool and kindergarten, improving access to career skills in high school, and reducing the costs of higher education.”
Ganahl has also faced scrutiny in her pick for Lieutenant Governor: Danny Moore, a former Navy Master Chief who operates an aerospace company in Aurora. Moore is also the former chair of the Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission, but lost that position after he made election-denying posts on social media.
Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera will once again run with Polis. She’s a former state lawmaker, whose emphasis has been on health care.

The DA in the 18th has promised to use the state’s grand jury system and other resources as attorney general to fight drug trafficking and lobby for stiffer criminal penalties.
“Crime is crushing Coloradans,” Kellner said at a debate in August.
“It is soft-on-crime policies and laws that have been signed into law by Gov. (Jared) Polis and many times championed by people like Phil Weiser that have led us to where we are when it comes to crime.”
ed Secretary of State in the country and the first Democratic woman to hold the position ever in Colorado. Prior to politics, Griswold practiced international anti-corruption law and worked as a voter protection attorney. She also served as the Director of the Governor of Colorado’s DC Office and operated her own law practice, based in Louisville. She attended Whitman College and received a law degree from University of Pennsylvania Law School.

appointed to the Colorado legislature from House District 50 in Weld County. He went on to be elected in 2012 and then again two more times. He says his sister, who is developmentally disabled inspired him to run for office. Young was elected treasurer in 2018.
Phil Weiser has served as Colorado’s attorney general since 2019, before which he was a law professor and dean of the University of Colorado Boulder Law School, and an Obama appointee in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. The Democrat defeated Republican George Brauchler in the 2018 general election by 160,707 votes, or about 6.5% of the total vote. Weiser lives in Denver with his wife and two children.
John Kellner
Weiser has said priorities during his second term in office would include defending the state’s gun control laws in court and promoting stricter firearm regulations, along with protecting children from social media companies and the vaping industry, and defending voting rights.
“Our democracy is not a spectator sport. It’s a team sport,” Weiser said at the same debate. “The reason I want to continue is because we’ve got more work to do. We’ve made extraordinary progress. We’ve built a great team I’m proud of, and I want to see that work through.”
The attorney general is largely uninvolved in the prosecution of street crime, which is left to district attorneys and other prosecutors, but th eoffice can litigate fraud, human trafficking, multi-jurisdictional organized crime and homicides related to the drug trade.
The office also handles consumer protection cases, oversees the certification of police officers in the state and represents state agencies in court, among other duties.
Pam AndersonGriswold, a Democrat, garnered pushback, even from some in her own party, earlier this fall when she appeared in a television ad alongside former Secretary of State Wayne Williams, a Republican, that asks voters to be “alert” about election misinformation. The ad wasn’t paid for by a political group, but rather an account from the Secretary of State’s office that’s supposed to be used for election equipment and software upgrades.
Anderson called for the ads to stop, telling Axios that “the priority for this secretary is herself.”
John Kellner served five years on active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps, including in Afghanistan as a deputy judge advocate, and he worked as a prosecutor in Boulder before he was elected to serve as district attorney for Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties in 2020. The Republican joined the 18th Judicial District to start its Cold Case Unit in 2013, and was recognized as “Prosecutor of the Year” by the Colorado District Attorney’s Council in 2016.
Colorado attorney general Phil Weiser is seeking a second term and will go head-to-head this fall against 18th Judicial District attorney John Kellner.
While Weiser has touted the successes of his first term in office — including the prosecution of burglary and theft rings, and helping achieve a $1.85 billion concession from student loan company Navient to borrowers in dozens of states for alleged predatory lending — Kellner has tried to tie Weiser’s leadership to a statewide rise in certain crimes,
Since taking office in 2019, Weiser was a key player in the creation of the consent decree that mandated reforms within Aurora’s public safety agencies following the death in custody of Elijah McClain.
Weiser and Kellner have both said they are committed to holding police accountable for misconduct, with Kellner mentioning his office’s prosecution of John Haubert, an ex-Aurora police officer who was charged with felony assault and menacing for pistol-whipping and choking a man last year.
Kellner also said he is committed to enforcing the consent decree, writing in a candidate survey emailed by The Sentinel that he would like to see more data shared about the city’s progress, but that “the consent decree with the City of Aurora is legally binding and, as attorney general, I will see it through to the end.”
Pam Anderson has worked in elections in Colorado since 2003 when she was named the city clerk for the City of Wheat Ridge. For eight years, she held the clerk position in Jefferson County, overseeing elections and other clerk and recorder duties. Anderson, a mom of two, has served on several local Jefferson County boards and statewide boards, such as the Colorado County Clerks Association Executive Board and the Colorado Secretary of State Bipartisan Election Advisory Committee.
While the 2020 election brought on dangerous rhetoric about the nation’s voting system — and some conservatives have embraced lies spouted by former President Donald Trump and his supporters — the candidates for Colorado Secretary of State, which oversees elections among other duties, both agree that the process is safe and sound here.
The point of contention in the race, however, is that hyper-partisan actions put election integrity at risk across the state.
“I am running to restore confidence in the position by bringing my background and record of performance as a professional and nonpartisan election official,” GOP candidate Pam Anderson, a former county-level clerk and recorder, said in a recent Sentinel candidate survey. “I am running because I have seen up close state and local election officials use the public’s trust and these offices to elevate themselves with hyper-partisan rhetoric.”
Anderson has worked in elections since 2003, when she was named the city clerk for Wheat Ridge.
She beat out election-denier Tina Peters, who was indicted on criminal counts of conspiracy relat-
While politics have elevated the historically mundane seat, Griswold told the Sentinel in a survey that taking the politics out of the position – perhaps by the governor appointing a secretary through Senate confirmation – could lead to even more trouble.
“In states where the Secretary of State is appointed and not accountable to the people, we are seeing election deniers in these positions,” she said. “In fact, there are Big Lie appointed Secretaries of State in Texas and Florida, and if the Big Lie Governor candidate in Pennsylvania is elected he has pledged to appoint someone who will get rid of all voting equipment and unlawfully purge voter rolls.”
Beyond elections, the secretary of state office oversees lobbyist regulation, bingo and raffle laws, business and charity compliance and campaign finance law.
Both have said they’d like to see increased transparency in campaign finance.
“This is entirely possible with improved technology,” Anderson said.
Griswold said she believes dark money — donations, usually from mega donors, that cannot be tracked because it typically funnels through several organizations — should be disclosed.
“As Secretary of State I will always work to ensure Colorado’s elections are not decided by wealthy corporate interests instead of everyday people,” she said.
Dave Young
Lang Sias is a veteran and a former state House representative. He worked as a Navy FA-18 pilot, which included combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, and later as a fighter pilot in the Air National Guard. In the legislature, he represented House District 27 in Jefferson County from 2015 to 2019. In 2018, Sias was selected as the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor by gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton. He is currently on a legislative subcommittee that oversees Colorado’s state pension fund, and he works as a pilot for FedEx. He and his wife have three children.
Two familiar faces around the Colorado state legislature are hoping to occupy the treasurer’s office. Dave Young, the Democratic incumbent, faces Lang Sias, who was the running mate of former GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton.
Both Young and Sias are former state House lawmakers. Young, from Greeley, and Sias hails from Jefferson County.
Made up of four divisions — the investments division, the cash management division, the accounting and administrative division, and the unclaimed property division — the treasurer’s office is essentially the state’s banker, but with additional duties. The treasurer is responsible for the state’s “banking, investment, and accounting services for all funds and assets deposited in the Treasury,” explains the state.
Originally an educator, Dave Young taught math, science, and technology in Greeley Weld 6 School District for more than two decades, beginning in 1975. He got into politics in 2011 when he was
Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Colorado’s state pension fund, controlled by the treasurer, divested more than $7 million from Russia’s largest financial institution and $800,000 more from other Russian companies. Colorado’s state portfolio doesn’t hold any Russian assets.
Young says on his campaign website that his top goals in the

elected seat are to protect taxpayer dollars, protect the state economy and protect PERA, the pension fund for state public workers.
“In this role, we operate similar to a household balancing its budget. This process becomes more and more complex as there are many state departments and agencies that all disburse funds and the Treasury tracks all of those expenditures. The Treasury must run efficiently and effectively to manage cash flow, so that Colorado will be able to cover its obligations such as school funding, road improvements, paying our public employees, and so much more,” Young says on his website.
The pandemic led to major fluctuations in state finances, but Young says because of the office’s hard work, “Coloradans did not face additional economic distress.”
Sias says he wants to fight economic inflation if elected to treasurer.
“Lang believes that State and Federal policies are stoking inflation and making Colorado increasingly unaffordable,” he says on his campaign website. “Spending is at unprecedented levels, and we are not paying enough attention to what we are getting for our money.”
On PERA, Sias, who is also a current board member for the pension fund, says he wants to “ensure that retiree pensions are secure and that the burdens on school districts and taxpayers are reasonable.”
Molly Lamar is running as the Republican candidate for the Board of Education’s 6th district. Lamar is a parent of four school-aged children and a former elementary school teacher. Lamar currently serves as co-chair on the Cherry Creek High School Accountability Committee and she is a member of the District’s Unified Improvement Plan subcommittee, according to her campaign website, and was involved in the 2021 campaign to elect Jen Gibbons and Bill Leach to the CCSD board of education. Lamar has been a critic of critical race theory in education and in August was endorsed by former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan. She has a degree in communications from the University of Colorado Boulder and is a licensed substitute teacher.
Democratic incumbent Rebecca McClellan is running for a second term representing the Colorado State Board of Education’s Centennial-based 6th district against Republican challenger Molly Lamar.
website states. “We need to hold our schools accountable through sical transparency to ensure funds are invested in the classroom instead of adding more administrators with six-figure salaries.”
The board is moving from seven to nine seats with this election, adding a representative from Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District as well as an at-large member to keep it odd-numbered.
McClellan’s win in 2016 over the Republican incumbent tilted the board back to the left for the first time in several decades, and the board is currently 4-3 in Democratic control. The current election comes on the heels of several years where education policy has been highly politicized, as school districts have faced disagreements over how to manage learning during the pandemic along with national controversies about mask wearing in schools and how, or whether, issues regarding race and LGBTQ identity should be taught in the classroom.
Local school board races last fall saw a number of conservative candidates running on platforms of ending mask mandates and rolling back diversity and equity initiatives in schools. A slate of conservative candidates was elected in nearby Douglas County School District, but conservative candidates in both Cherry Creek and Aurora Public Schools were not successful.
In response to a Sentinel questionnaire, the candidates said that they did not believe it was the role of the state board to micromanage what gets taught in the classroom.
“There is a partisan effort to label any lessons that touch on how race and racism has intersected with history, culture, and society as critical race theory,” McClellan said. “The truth is that the majority of parents and voters, in poll after poll, say that they want students to learn about how slavery and racism shaped our history and to learn about how racism still impacts society today.”
Lamar said that those types of decisions should be made at the level of the local school board.
“The state doesn’t have oversight of the curriculum used in the district, so the state has no authority to investigate the things being taught in the district,” she said. “This enables parents and community members to hold their local school board members accountable for what is being taught in classrooms.”
Educators in Colorado and nationwide have also struggled with the deleterious academic effects of the pandemic. According to recently released statewide testing scores, Colorado students performed better than they did last year but have yet to catch up to pre-pandemic levels.
Both candidates said in their questionnaires that they believe providing resources for targeted tutoring is a key part of helping students make up academic ground, and McClellan said that the state needs to increase its strategies for recruiting and retaining educators without lowering the qualifications needed to teach, which has been done by some other states.
In a state with strong local control over schools, the board is not involved in much of the day-to-day management of how students are taught. One critical thing it does have control over is granting final approval to charter schools, and it can overturn local school board’s decisions to deny charter school applications on appeal.
That has proven fraught locally, as the board in 2019 voted to require Cherry Creek to reconsider its denial of a charter application to aviation-focused charter Colorado SKIES Academy, which opened in 2019. At the time, McClellan was the sole vote against the reversal. In another instance, she voted in favor of requiring APS to reconsider its denial of Vega Collegiate Academy’s charter.
In the questionnaire, she said
she believed her decisions have been fair and that she takes the role seriously.
“I judge each appeal on its own merits, using the standard of what is in the best interests of the community. Sometimes that has meant affirming the local board’s original decision, and sometimes that has meant remanding the case for reconsideration by the local board,” she said.
Lamar spoke favorably of charter schools, which have faced criticism from some for draining already-dwindling local school districts of students and have been praised by others for providing educational opportunities that public schools cannot.
“Most often charter schools offer parents an alternative curriculum not offered in the district which better fits the needs of some students and why parents send their children to the charter school,” she said, naming Colorado SKIES Academy as a specific example.
McClellan has been endorsed by Rep. Jason Crow and the three Democratic board of education members, along with a number of other local Democratic politicians. Lamar has been endorsed by Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Republican city council members Dustin Zvonek, Steve Sundberg, Danielle Jurinsky and Francoise Bergan.
“Parents are fed up with poorly performing schools and radical cultural agendas,” Sundberg said in his endorsement, according to Lamar’s website. “Parents want educational achievement and school choice. Molly will bring a refreshing, bold alternative to a broken status quo of school leadership.”
As of early October, McClellan’s campaign had received over $21,000, including $500 from the Adams County Democratic Party. To date, Lamar has received over $72,000 in contributions and spent over $54,000, according to online records.

Rebecca McClellan is the Democratic incumbent representative for the Board of Education’s 6th district, and has been representing the Centennial-based region since 2017. Previously, McClellan served on the Centennial city council from 2006 to 2014, including as mayor pro tem of the city. A parent of two, McClellan was a PTCO executive officer in the Cherry Creek School District, and during her tenure on city council served as the liaison to the school district. While on the state board of education, she has served as liaison to the Colorado Special Education Advisory Committee, and in 2021 was liaison to the state legislature. In 2017 she was selected as a Gates Fellow to the Harvard Kennedy School of Government program for senior officials in state and local government. She lives in Centennial with her family.
First elected in 2016 to serve a six-year term, McClellan was previously a member of the Centennial city council from 2006 to 2014, during which time she was a liaison to the Cherry Creek School District. Lamar, a former elementary school teacher and parent of four in the Cherry Creek School District, has no prior political experience but was involved in the campaign to elect Jenniffer Gibbons to the CCSD school board. She was interviewed by conservative news site the Daily Caller during the election.
McClellan, who has touted her work expanding full-day kindergarten in Colorado, is campaigning on increasing access to preschool, helping all students read by third grade, managing federal pandemic relief funds for educational recovery and creating multiple pathways for high school graduates beyond traditional four-year college.
Lamar’s main issues are improving school safety, giving parents more of a voice in education and improving academic outcomes, according to her campaign website.
“School districts are spending exorbitant amounts of money on divisive programs that do little to improve academic outcomes,” her

Walters, a career law enforcement officer, said he supported the repeal of Colorado’s Senate Bill 20217, which stripped police officers in the state of qualified legal immunity, required them to intervene and make a report when other officers use excessive force and mandated that more police officers wear and use body-worn cameras.

On his website, he also describes bills that he supported which raised hundreds of millions of dollars for transportation needs, including the Regional Transportation District and transit in general.

Democrat Mike Weissman is seeking his fourth term in the Colorado House of Representatives, serving the district that includes north and east Aurora as well as parts of Arapahoe and Adams counties. Weissman is an attorney and chaired the house’s judiciary committee and committee on legal services during the last legislative session. He was elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2018 and 2020, most recently defeating Republican challenger Dustin Bishop by 22.4%. He lives in Aurora.
He specifically objected to the expanded powers granted to the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training board, part of the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, to punish police officers for misconduct. Walters’ campaign website accuses legislators of failing to focus on community safety and calls for greater public support for police officers.
“There are a lot of good ideas and worthy goals in SB20-217,” Walters wrote in the Sentinel survey. “But SB20-217 is a nightmare for our communities’ safety and our local control of law enforcement.”
Weissman stood behind SB20217 and said in his survey that he was proud to have voted for a follow-up House bill which clarified how body-worn camera footage is to be handled and the relationship between police misconduct and POST certification.
“Talk of blanket repeal just misses the many important issues that were taken up in that bill and dismisses the concerns that communities of color, in particular, have had for a long time,” Weissman wrote. “I have also supported numerous measures over the years for peace officer mental health support. Everyone — from the police to the community — benefits when officers have this kind of assistance available.”
“Around 100,000 people have been moving to our state every year for the last 10 years, but our roads have not been keeping up,” Weissman wrote. “More and more of us are spending more time in traffic and less time with our families as a result. Transportation is also a large source of climate pollution emissions, and we have to make it easier for Coloradans to get around in ‘greener’ ways too.”
Economist Ruby Dickson, a Democrat, and business owner Paul Archer, a Republican, will vie for the Colorado House of Representatives seat serving parts of Greenwood Village and Centennial, and the area south of Cherry Creek State Park this fall.
Education, abortion access and public safety were some of the issues where Dickson and Archer articulated different priorities in their Sentinel surveys and in other campaign materials.
Archer approached public safety from the angle of crime, advocating for reintroducing felony penalties for certain crimes and increasing funding for law enforcement on his campaign website.
While he was critical of Senate Bill 20-217 and its elimination of qualified immunity protections for police, he said he would support independent oversight groups that could evaluate uses of force and deaths related to contacts with police.
The House District 37 seat is currently held by Democrat Tom Sullivan, who defeated Republican challenger Caroline Cornell in 2020, earning 55.6% of the vote. Instead of running for re-election, this year, Sullivan is running to replace Democrat Chris Kolker in Senate District 27.

Mike Weissman is seeking his fourth term in the Colorado House of Representatives this fall, squaring off against retired Denver police sergeant William Walters. Weissman’s district includes north and east Aurora, as well as parts of Arapahoe and Adams counties. In the surveys emailed by The Sentinel and other campaign materials released by the two, the candidates described different priorities in the fields of public safety, education and transportation, among
On his website, Weissman also talks about his record on education, bringing up bills he has co-sponsored or supported, like a 2022 bill that eliminated the cap on the number of high school students who can take advantage of free community college classes and earn a two-year degree, and bills that funded fullday kindergarten for all and area technical colleges.
Walters said in his Sentinel candidate survey that he would push the legislature to fund roads and schools before other priorities, but also said school curriculum should be scrutinized more, naming the teaching of “racism through (critical race theory)” as a particular concern.
“The state legislature should focus on ensuring that parents know what decisions their school boards are making and what is contained in their curriculum,” Walters wrote on his website. “Colleges and schools should never be used (to) indoctrinate children to any political agenda or demoralize our children.”
Walter also said he would like to see the state invest more in dilapidated roads but rejected the argument that the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights is to blame for making it difficult for the government to raise and spend tax revenue.
Weissman said he supported “eliminating or modifying” the spending limits set by TABOR, while leaving intact the requirement that
Research economist Ruby Dickson is running for an open seat in the Colorado House of Representatives serving parts of Greenwood Village and Centennial, and the area south of Cherry Creek State Park. Dickson, a Democrat, attended public school in Colorado and earned her graduate degree in economics from the University of Oxford. According to her website, she is involved in charity work and has been responsible for multimillion dollar budgets.
“I am fully aware that there have been problems within the force, not just in Colorado but all over,” Archer’s website reads. “The radical increase in crime clearly shows us that defunding the police is not the right pathway to follow. The solution is to have officers invested in the communities that they serve.”
Dickson did not directly answer questions about her feelings on SB20-217. Under the heading of “safer communities,” her website describes the need to regulate firearms to curb the risk of school shootings.
“Most of us believe that schools should be gun-free zones. We believe in common sense gun safety rules, like temporarily taking weapons away from people that have been medically certified to be a threat to themselves or others,” she told The Sentinel. “Colorado has already experienced too much pain at the hands of those wielding extremely deadly weapons. We can — and must — do more to prevent the next mass shooting.”
Democrat Naquetta Ricks has served in Colorado’s General Assembly since 2021, representing House District 40, which includes south and east Aurora. After immigrating from Liberia as a child, Ricks graduated from Aurora Central High School and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from MSU Denver and the University of Colorado respectively. She has owned her own small business since 2004, is the president and co-founder of the African Chamber of Commerce Colorado and has lived in Aurora for more than 30 years. She defeated Republican Richard Allen Bassett with 59.2% of the vote in 2020.
Republican Paul Archer is the owner and founder of Automated Business Technologies, an office equipment company serving the Denver metro area and the Front Range, running to represent House District 37. He is also the founder of three nonprofits and has worked with statewide groups to simplify Colorado’s sales tax system. He previously chaired the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s Health Care Policy Task Force. Archer is married and has five children and 20 grandchildren.
The two both addressed the topic of abortion, with Dickson saying on her website that “no compromises” should be made in terms of guaranteeing womens’ access to the procedure and Archer saying on his that he was in favor of blocking late-term abortions and “protecting the rights of the unborn, with exceptions to rape, incest and health of the mother.”
Archer and Dickson both wrote about the need to pay teachers more, and Archer said he believed schools should refocus on fundamentals like language arts and math. Dickson stressed her support for public education, saying that “private schools may work well for a select few, but supporting our
Republican challenger Le Sellers is a 22-year U.S. Army veteran with a background in technical writing and investment. He received his master’s degree in business administration from California State University Sacramento and a bachelor’s degree in business and administration from the University of Maryland Global Campus. He is running to represent House District 40, which includes south and east Aurora. Sellers and his wife, Jacquie, have seven children and 39 grandchildren.
Le Sellers, a U.S. Army vet with experience in technical writing and investing, will challenge Naquetta Ricks for a seat in Colorado’s House of Representatives this November, as Ricks seeks a second term in office.
Both candidates for District 40, which includes south and east Aurora, identified criminal justice as a focus for the upcoming legislative session, but while Ricks advocated for alternatives to prison and traditional policing in schools in her campaign materials, Sellers warned about rising crime and signaled his support for so-called “truth in sentencing” laws and funding police.
“Crime is at record levels in Colorado. Police are demoralized, underpaid and handcuffed in how they respond to crime and criminals,” his website reads. “Judges should have the latitude to serve justice, but criminals should know they will pay the price for their evil choices and actions. It’s the legislature’s job to set the parameters so we can all feel safe!”
Ricks wrote about divesting from private prisons, promoting restorative justice and expunging all marijuana offenses to help former drug defendants. She also said she was wary of law enforcement in schools resulting in the incarceration of children.
“The presence of police in schools should be for safety and security, not the expectation of contact with children to issue tickets and / or citations,” Ricks’ website says. “Our children need mental health professionals, parent-staffed campus liaisons, and social workers that are equipped to handle and treat behavior issues instead of criminalizing students.”
Ricks, a small business owner herself, also said she was committed to making sure the state supports minority- and woman-owned businesses, saying the federal government too often favors large corporations.
On the subject of the economy, Sellers said he wants to see the state step up domestic energy production and lift regulations on businesses.
“Colorado is dealing with record inflation, higher than the national average,” Sellers’ website reads. “Higher taxes (disguised as fees) also make life more expensive. While much of this is the fault of national policies, Colorado can do better.”
Sellers also talked about education, alleging that schools are no longer focused on teaching foundational skills like reading and math but instead have “a hidden agenda, the sexualization of the youngest in society.” He said he wants to promote transparency around the curriculum taught in schools
Ricks said she wants to raise more money for schools and promote programs that help graduates gain employment.
“Our children need to be prepared for the high paying jobs of today and the emerging industries of tomorrow,” her campaign website says. “I will advocate for more entrepreneurial programs and apprenticeship programs in our schools.”
Colorado’s general election is scheduled to take place Nov. 8.
Incumbent Democrat Iman Jodeh is running for re-election to her House seat representing west and central Aurora, challenged by Republican Stephanie Hancock.
One challenge facing all of Colorado and especially the urbanized Denver metro area is housing affordability — Hancock and Jodeh both identified the development of affordable housing as a priority, with Jodeh suggesting that Colorado’s General Assembly take legislative action to let cities introduce inclusionary zoning laws.
Regarding education, Jodeh said she was supportive of state-funded pre-K services and efforts to help reduce the cost-of-living for teachers in addition to better wages such as subsidized housing for teachers, loan repayment programs and recruitment programs that “increase diversity and employ teachers from the school’s neighborhood.”
Hancock described the district’s education system as “failing” and said she is supportive of school choice; trimming administrative costs so more money goes toward teachers; centering education on grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy; and promoting vocational programs in middle and high school.
chology from Arizona State University. He has three children.
Since 2020, Iman Jodeh has represented House District 41, including part of Aurora in Arapahoe County. The Democrat defeated Republican Bob Andrews in a landslide, earning 66% of the total vote. A child of Palestinian immigrants who started their own small business, Jodeh grew up in Aurora and earned her bachelor’s degree in political science and master’s in public policy, public administration from CU Denver. She previously worked in the nonprofit sector and founded Meet the Middle East, a nonprofit that facilitates cultural exchange between America and the Middle East through travel, classes and cultural programs. She is also the community advocate and liaison for the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado and a spokesperson and member of the Colorado Muslim Society’s executive committee.
Under current Colorado case law, specifically a Colorado Supreme Court ruling known as the “Telluride decision,” inclusionary zoning, which requires homebuilders to incorporate affordable housing into their developments, is considered rent control and is not permitted.
“I support loosening the constraints on the options local governments have to address affordability,” Jodeh’s website states. “Let’s get serious about affordability & override the Telluride decision with legislative action.”
She also supports protections against evictions without notice, bills and fines for renters.
Hancock said she supports cutting the costs of housing by reducing and eliminating construction fees, incentivizing income-based housing “with caveats” and promoting alternative housing units such as tiny homes.
On the topic of crime, Hancock blamed “pro-crime policies of defunding police and the reduction of penalties for breaking laws” for neighborhoods becoming less safe. She said she plans to work with prosecutors and police to train, fund and equip law enforcement; organize neighborhood watch programs and strengthen laws to discourage violence and drug sales.
“Illegal drug use and distribution, notably fentanyl, is devastating our youth,” her website reads. “The problem is growing and our legislature’s lack of leadership is making matters worse. Our living and work environments must be safe.”
“Our current education system is failing. All kids are not college-bound but should have the opportunity to learn vital skills that provide them the opportunity to contribute as full-fledged citizens,” her campaign website states.
Mandy Lindsay is defending her House District 42 seat representing north and central Aurora from a challenge by Republican Cory Parella this fall.
Lindsay’s campaign platform includes creating housing options for all, repealing TABOR to help fund Colorado schools, stewarding the environment, improving access to health care and mental health care, and promoting abortion access.
In her Sentinel survey, she proposed to ban corporations from owning single-family homes and cap the number of non-owner-occupied residences. She also said she believed everyone in her district deserves housing, whether in homes, apartments or temporary housing for vulnerable groups.
“In communities like ours, the dream of homeownership is being snatched away (and the opportunity to grow wealth / generational wealth is becoming non-existent) and rents are rising sky-high, and as the cost of housing becomes completely unaffordable, more people will become unhoused,” Lindsay warned in her survey.
Small business owner Mandy Lindsay is running for election to the Colorado House District 42 seat that she was appointed to earlier this year to fill the vacancy left by Dominique Jackson, who Lindsay worked for as a legislative aide. Lindsay, a Democrat, has represented north and central Aurora since January. She is the owner of an organizing business and the parent of four children with her husband, Kevin. She is a graduate of Tulane University.
To lower the cost of health care, Lindsay proposes to expand the public option, which she says will also increase the number of providers available and promote transparent pricing. She described health care as a “human right” and said she believed the industry should not be for-profit.
“Every one of us should have access to quality and affordable healthcare that stays with us no matter where we live, or what job we have,” Lindsay’s campaign website says. “Behavioral health is also an essential part of healthcare and we need to give people facing mental health challenges the same urgency and support for treatment as we would a patient with a broken arm.”
Stephanie Hancock, a Republican, is running for a seat in Colorado’s House of Representatives serving parts of west and central Aurora. Hancock is the co-founder and owner of 5280 Artist Co-Op, and current president of the Aurora Cultural Arts District. She is also a graduate of Texas Southern University and a U.S. Air Force veteran. She and her husband have lived in House District 41 for the past 25 years.
Jodeh’s public safety platform focuses on reducing incarceration through investments in restorative justice, fee-free diversion and probation programs, and reductions in felony sentences. She also denounced private prisons and said she supported expunging misdemeanors related to marijuana.
Jodeh said she would also like to explore creating an independent unit within the Attorney General’s Office that would have exclusive jurisdiction over use-of-force cases
“While some find justice in our criminal justice system, for too many it unjustly ruins lives. Our justice system must be focused on rehabilitation, equity, & accountability,” her website states.
Cory Parella is running as the Republican challenger in House District 42, which covers north and central Aurora. He is an author and screenwriter, earning master’s degrees in film post-production supervision from Academy of Art University in 2017; in business administration and management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2019; and in counseling psy-
Abortion access was also highlighted as a priority for Lindsay, who said in her survey that her vote in favor of Colorado’s Reproductive Health Equity Act earlier this year was “easily one of the best votes I took this past session.”
“We have taken for granted the right for people to decide if, when, and how they become parents,” she wrote on her website. “Colorado must continue to bolster our citizens’ rights and stand out as a beacon for reproductive freedom in the region.”
Parella has a website, a YouTube channel, profiles on social media websites and multiple self-published books that address his reli-
gious beliefs and conservative politics.
The key issues of Parella’s campaign as expressed on his campaign site include “making abortion obsolete” by calling “on Science to make an artificial uterus to protect the lives of both mommy and baby,” creating a licensing program for Colorado’s film industry and repealing the Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity Act.
“This matter will not be resolved in an assembly or court room,” Parella said on the topic of abortion in his Sentinel survey. “I call on science to deliver an artificial uterus to sustain life from conception through self-sufficient breathing and nutrient consumption. And maybe this will cure miscarriages?”
Parella also made light of the Reproductive Health Equity Act and said that he supported the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
On the topic of the entertainment industry, Parella promoted the idea of professional licensing for filmmakers, saying the film industry had the potential to be an economic driver for the region.
“‘Star Wars’ and ‘The Godfather’ made San Francisco a financial power,” his campaign website reads. “Movie DNA and year-round sporting events will give this part of the State more life than the southern counties. Get ready to prosper. Or move.”
He also wrote at length about public safety in the Sentinel survey, saying he thought Senate Bill 20-217 had been a “disaster” and questioning sympathetic accounts of the police beating of Rodney King and the death in custody of Elijah McClain.
He blamed specific Democrat lawmakers for public safety problems, particularly state Sen. Rhonda Fields, who he suggested was “dyslexic” and said unfairly accused police of racial profiling.
Parella advocated for a mix of public safety policies, including enforcement of anti-panhandling laws, amending Colorado’s habitual offender penalties so they would be triggered after five rather than three offenses, supporting the expansion of Comitis Crisis Center and opening up access to housing security deposit trusts.
A “Message to Drug Dealers” posted on Parella’s website also reads, “You are unwelcome here,” “Get your product off our streets and schools” and “I hunt you.”
Colorado’s general election is scheduled to take place Nov. 8.
it a “complex local control issue.” He said the government could address road congestion by incentivizing businesses to stagger their work schedules, offer telecommuting jobs and promote carpooling.
“We have a congestion problem and not a capacity problem,” Bockenfeld wrote in his candidate survey. “The mere fact you get cars moving again instead of sitting idle in traffic improves air quality.”
care, Bockenfeld argued that the state should lobby the federal government to abolish Obamacare, which he claimed would drive down costs, and remove regulations on pharmaceutical companies.
Democrat challenger Kathleen Conway is running to represent Colorado’s House District 56, which includes Arapahoe County east of Aurora. She is a small business owner and spent 11 years working in the Douglas County Office of Clerk and Recorder. Conway has also worked as an English as a second language tutor and GED instructor, and has been involved with the Colorado Governor’s Foreclosure Prevention Task Force.
Rod Bockenfeld
Conway was supportive of the state barring growth in areas that lack water, bringing up looming water shortages. She said the state’s ability to accommodate new residents is limited by environmental factors and that homes build in wildfire zones where water is an issue are an example of the state ignoring the needs of current residents.
On the topic of law enforcement, Conway said she viewed Senate Bill 20-217 as a “step in the right direction” in terms of protecting both police and the public. The bill stripped police officers in the state of qualified immunity protections, required them to intervene and make a report when other officers use excessive force and mandated that more cops wear and use bodyworn cameras.
She also said she would support police agencies being required to have some sort of independent oversight body that could review uses of force and deaths in custody, for example.
“Every police agency should have an oversight mechanism,” she said in her candidate survey. “Hospitals have reviews of anything thought to have gone wrong. Even newspapers have editors and proofreaders.”
“That is why pharmas are reluctant to pass some of those research and development costs onto other countries,” he wrote. “The cost of research and development of new drugs should be shared by worldwide consumers and not just the U.S.”
Conway blamed greed on the part of health insurance and pharmaceutical companies for the high cost of care.
She suggested that the state “force insurance companies to pass all rebated discounts they receive … on directly to the patient at the pharmacy” so savings aren’t instead “pocketed by the insurance company, hospitals and middlemen.”

and other parts of Adams County but had its boundaries completely shifted during the 2020 redistricting process.
Jenet was first elected to the seat in 2016 in a highly watched contest where she was endorsed by then-president Obama, and succeeded in flipping the district from red to blue by defeating Republican incumbent JoAnn Windholz.
During her six years in the Legislature she has focused on issues including increasing access to mental and behavioral health services and improving services for foster youth and other young people. Jenet sits on the education, finance, legislative audit and Public Health Care & Human Services committees.
In 2021, Jenet was a prime sponsor of a bill that allocated funding for Colorado youth to access three free mental health sessions. During the last legislature session Jenet, who is Jewish, joined Aurora representative Iman Jodeh in sponsoring a bill that provides religious organizations and other nonprofits grant money for security upgrades.
Gives religious organizations and other nonprofit organizations more money for security upgrades.
Jenet was one of many sponsors of the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which enshrines Colorado’s current abortion protections into law. Following the May leak of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Jenet spoke publicly about an abortion she had when she was 40 after a 20-week

“The risks of not having the procedure involved not passing my baby and instead hemorrhaging and potentially dying, because I was already bleeding,” Jenet wrote in an op-ed in Newsweek. “So, having the procedure was necessary in order to maintain my life.”
On her campaign website, Jenet said that her future legislative priorities are bolstering the Adams County economy, supporting veterans, education and continuing to advocate for increased access for mental health care.
Her opponent, Republican candidate Justin Brown, did not respond to Sentinel inquiries but has put a primacy on energy independence online.
A Commerce City resident who works in the oil and gas industry, Brown’s campaign website states that protecting parental rights in education, improving the economy and lowering crime are his main priorities.
“I want to help with the pocket-book issues by lowering taxes and fighting inflation,” the website states. “As well as, unleashing our energy production which will boost the economy and help lower gas prices.”
On his Facebook page, where he sells “Anti Polis Social Club” T-shirts as a donation perk, he wrote that oil and gas production is crucial to energy independence and that he supports exploring all types of energy production, including nuclear.
“Our industry has made great strides to become cleaner while still producing reliable and affordable energy,” he said in a post. “No one produces O&G as clean as American, and no one does it better than Colorado. In my opinion, when talking about energy we should start using words like ‘addition’ instead of ‘transition’.”
Brown was the MC at a Log Cabin Republicans event in September and has been endorsed by the Colorado Oil & Gas Commission and the Colorado Hispanic Republicans. Jenet has been endorsed by Congressman Joe Neguse, Senator Michael Bennet and the Colorado Education Association.

He is currently the vice chair of the legislature’s Business Affairs & Labor committee and a member of the Transportation & Local Government committee.

His campaign website states that he is the grandson of immigrants from Korea and has been living in Colorado since the 1990s. In a video Kim says he is “saddened by what I’ve seen in Colorado over the past decade,” including rising crime, costs of living and parents “being denied a voice in their children’s education.”
After representing Colorado in the House of Representatives 37th district for the past four years, Sullivan is currently running as the Democratic candidate to represent Senate District 27. A veteran and retired
Tom Kim is running as the Republican candidate to represent Colorado’s 27th Senate District. Kim has been a Colorado resident since 1996, according to his campaign website, and has spent over 30 years as a business restructuring professional. He began his career as a bankruptcy lawyer and in the 2000s left law to open a consulting firm for businesses. He is the grandson of immigrants from Korea and the son of World War II and Korean War veterans. Kim lives in Centennial with his wife and two children. He has been endorsed by Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and city council member Dustin Zvonek, among others.
After representing Colorado’s 37th House District since 2018, Democrat and prominent gun safety advocate Tom Sullivan is now vying for a seat in the legislature’s other chamber with a campaign to represent Colorado’s 27th Senate District. His Republican challenger is political newcomer and businessman Tom Kim.
Previously represented by Chris Kolker, who won the seat for the Democratic Party, the district was redrawn during Colorado’s redistricting process, which placed Kolker in the 16th district.
Sullivan previously ran an unsuccessful campaign to represent the district under its old boundaries in 2016 before becoming elected to the House in 2018, losing to Republican Jack Tate. Now, he’s returning with several years of political experience under his belt.
A veteran and retired U.S. Postal Service worker, Sullivan became known as a gun safety activist after the death of his 27-year-old son Alex Sullivan in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. In the legislature Sullivan has pushed for tougher gun safety measures, and was a sponsor of Colorado’s Extreme Risk Protection Order law, which went into effect in 2020. Also known as the “red flag” law, the law allows law enforcement or family to petition for someone’s firearms to be temporarily removed if they are credibly deemed to be a threat to themselves or others.
Gun control is shaping up to be a salient topic in the election, with progressive organization Together Colorado criticizing Kim for his record on the issue. Kim has been endorsed by the NRA, according to its Colorado voter guide, while Sullivan has a “F” grade from the organization.
In response to a Sentinel Q&A, Kim said he opposed banning assault-style weapons and thought that addressing mental health would be a more effective way to curb violence in society. Sullivan, who noted that his son was killed by an assault-style weapon, said that they have “no place in our society” but are only a small part of the problem.
The candidates also disagree on another salient issue, abortion. Kim responded to a Sentinel question on the topic, which has become critically important to many voters since the June repeal of Roe v. Wade, by saying that he believed the Colorado state legislature went “too far” with its 2022 vote to codify Colorado’s existing abortion access into state law.
“I do favor some State Law restrictions on voluntary abortions during the final weeks of gestations,” Kim said. “I believe we need to make sure health and safety resources are available for women, so they understand all risks and options.”
For his part, Sullivan said he would “stay the course and work to strengthen present laws.”
On his campaign website, Kim cites public safety, effective education and strengthening the economy as his top priorities. Along with gun safety and reproductive rights, Sullivan states that strengthening the economy, lowering housing and healthcare costs, helping veterans and transforming the behavioral healthcare system are some of the priorities he will focus on if elected.
Arapahoe County’s District 2 on the board of commissioners. Both have prior experience in politics but would be serving their first term on the board. Current representative, Republican Nancy Sharpe, is term-limited.
Republican candidate Gotto previously served on the Centennial city council for four years and has a business background. A progressive Democrat, Campbell-Swanson is currently chief of staff for state representative Iman Jodeh, an attorney and founder of a political campaign firm.
up for success by ensuring it has the necessary funding and that it is staffed by highly qualified people.
struction industry, according to his campaign website.
serving the needs of all of its citizens” are his main priorities.
Mark Gotto is a Republican running to serve as the District 2 representative on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners. Raised in Iowa, Gotto has lived in Arapahoe County for 13 years, according to his campaign website. From 2014 to 2018 he served as a member of Centennial’s city council, and currently works for an internet company that provides services to the city. He has previously worked as an executive at a call center company and as a stay-at-home dad. His family includes two children and several adopted foster dogs, according to his website.
Currently Colorado’s third most populous county, Arapahoe County encompasses most of Aurora and Littleton, the cities of Englewood, Glenwood, Greenwood Village and Glendale and a number of other smaller cities and towns in the Denver metro area. Though its county seat is Littleton, Aurora is by far its most populous city.
As Campbell-Swanson noted in response to a Sentinel questionnaire, the county’s population is only expected to increase in the coming years. She said that growth is the county’s biggest challenge and must be addressed proactively instead of simply being resisted.
“We already have a housing crisis, lack of access to reliable public transportation, strife and violence in our communities, and poor air quality and limited water resources,” she said. “Growth will add pressure to these difficulties and if we don’t take proactive steps with the vision of a healthy, thriving, and sustainable Arapahoe County in mind, we will be in a world of hurt.”
Gotto’s campaign website states that his top priorities are curbing car theft and other crime, the transition to a new health department and managing federal infrastructure funding responsibly. In the questionnaire, he said that crime prevention and infrastructure investment are the county’s two biggest challenges.
“Since the incoming Board of Commissioners will be responsible for appointing the permanent board of public health, the first thing we can do to ensure a smooth transition with our new health department is set it up for success by appointing public health experts dedicated to data-driven, science-based, equity-focused policy with administrative experience, a history of getting results, and a broad, intersectional and/or multidisciplinary perspective,” she said. “We can also be engaged with community and the board so we can course correct as quickly as possible should issues arise.”
Gotto has been endorsed by Sharpe and Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko. Campbell-Swanson has been endorsed by commissioners Carrie Warren-Gully, Nancy Jackson and Bill Holen.
Leslie Sumney
Jessica Campbell-Swanson is a Democrat running to serve as the District 2 representative on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners. Campbell-Swanson is currently chief of staff for Iman Jodeh, who represents Colorado’s 41st district in the state House of Representatives. Born in Kansas, Campbell-Swanson moved to Colorado in 2008 to receive a law degree from Denver University, after which she worked as an attorney and was active in local Democratic politics. She is the founder of Brighter Day Strategies, a political campaign firm that works with progressive candidates and causes. She lives in Arapahoe County with her husband and two children. She has been endorsed by commissioners Nancy Jackson and Bill Holen.
“Our roads and potholes need to be fixed and maintained,” he said. “I will use my experience to help the Public Works department build a 10 year funding plan so our County’s quality of life is not impacted by driving on faulty roads.”
A self-identified fiscal conservative, Gotto’s website states that he “will manage waste and promise to fund all necessary resources important to the community.”
The Arapahoe County health department will come online at the beginning of 2023 following the scheduled dissolution of the Tri-County Health Department after both Douglas and Adams counties voted to leave the partnership. Gotto and Campbell-Swanson both said managing the transition will be a key role for the new commissioners.
“I will use my strategic planning skills as a VP and Centennial City Councilman to drive the County’s new health department,” Gotto’s campaign website states. “We have to get it right from a cost perspective and a leadership perspective. The County will need my experience and knowledge to achieve these initiatives.”
In the questionnaire, Campbell-Swanson said the commissioners can set the new department
Leslie Sumney is a Democrat running to serve as the District 4 representative on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.
A U.S. Navy veteran from Colorado Springs, Sumney is a mother of five and a small business owner, according to her campaign website. She has been endorsed by Aurora city councilmembers Alison Coombs, Juan Marcano and Ruben Medina.
Bob Roth
Bob Roth is a Republican running to serve as the District 4 representative on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners. From 2011 to 2019 Roth was a member of the Aurora city council, during which he served two terms as mayor pro tem. He has served on a number of boards, including executive board of the Colorado Municipal League and the Aurora Economic Development Committee. A third-generation Coloradan, he has 30 years of experience in the con-
Democrat Leslie Sumney and Republican Bob Roth are the candidates running to represent Arapahoe County’s District 4 on the Board of County Commissioners. Both would be new to the seat, which is currently held by Democrat Nancy Jackson, who is term-limited.
A U.S. Navy veteran and small business owner originally from Colorado Springs, this would be Sumney’s first elected position. Roth is a previous Aurora city council member, having served from 2011 to 2019. In 2020 he made an unsuccessful bid to represent Colorado’s 26th State Senate District, losing to Democratic incumbent Jeff Bridges. This is the first campaign for Sumney, who eked out a primary win after at one point being exactly tied with opponent Regina Edmonson.
Both candidates say that their previous life and work experience make them well-equipped for the job. Sumney’s campaign website states that being a parent to an LGBTQ child and a child on the autism spectrum, along with being raised by a veteran father and a mother who worked in El Paso’s election division, informed her views on public service.
“It is central to not only my campaign, but my values that I represent families, veterans, women, and children–those who were born here in Arapahoe County to those newly arrived immigrants,” the website states. “The community must have a voice at the table where decisions are made.”
Sumney expressed that most recently as part of a group of Black Aurora leaders who criticized the city’s process of selecting a new police chief for a lack of transparency and a lack of involvement by residents of color. After initially selecting several finalists, the city is now continuing its search after two of the three candidates dropped out of the running.
Roth’s campaign website states that his upbringing as the son of cattle ranchers and farmers and his decades of experience in construction have given him a strong work ethic and an understanding of fiscal responsibility that he has carried with him as an elected official.
Roth’s time on Aurora’s city council was marked by questions about a construction consulting business he founded, which some viewed as an ethical breach for being a conflict of interest. He told The Sentinel in 2018 that his business and his involvement in local government did not cross over.
At press time, Roth had not responded to inquiries from The Sentinel. His campaign website states that public safety, education, the economy and ensuring “that Arapahoe County is well run and efficient,
Sumney’s website states that helping veterans, protecting women’s and LGBTQ rights, addressing homelessness and improving access to mental health care are some of her key platforms. In response to a Sentinel questionnaire, she said she believes investing in infrastructure and standing up the county’s new health department are some of the biggest challenges of the next decade.
“Key parts of the infrastructure challenges are first and last mile issues with transit and multimodal connectivity, which are difficult to address due to suburban sprawl,” she said. “We also need to prep for the climate impacts growth brings in our county.”
Addressing the county’s anticipated growth, she said that development should be balanced with sustainability.
“We need to address water use and greenhouse gas emissions, which means we should prioritize mixed-use, infill development where possible, and find conservation measures where this approach is not possible,” she said.
Joan Lopez was elected to Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder as a Democrat in 2018, after serving in the office in multiple positions for over two decades. She won the seat with 51% of the vote over her opponent, then-incumbent Matt Crane. She lives in Aurora with her husband and two children.
A small business owner in Arapahoe County, Caroline Cornell is now seeking the county clerk and recorder position, running as a Republican. She moved to Colorado in 1998 and raised two children with her husband here. While in college in her home state of Flori-

da, she helped build a small family retail chain business and has since worked in both nonprofit and corporate settings. Caroline, who ran for the House District 37 seat in 2020, is the Chair of the Board of Directors for Girl Scouts of Colorado and has been active in Cherry Creek Schools parent organizations.
In a bid for re-election, first-term Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez, a Democrat, is facing Republican Caroline Cornell, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for a state House seat in 2020.
Both candidates say the position, which includes running elections, should be based on trust from voters in the community.
“I’ve learned that when people don’t know how something works and aren’t getting answers, they become skeptical,” Cornell said in a candidate survey to the Sentinel. “When they hear partisan rhetoric on top of that, there is bound to be mistrust. Rebuilding public confidence starts with elected officials choosing to turn down partisan rhetoric and work toward common ground.”
Likewise, Lopez, who won the seat in 2018 from her former boss, Republican Matt Crane, said, “trust comes from understanding” and that the clerk “should make sure the public is informed on how the process works.”
There are approximately 411,000 active voters across the county, which includes the majority of Aurora and swathes of Littleton, Centennial, Greenwood Village and small towns to the east, including Byers, Peoria and Deer Trail.
Despite a wave of election conspiracy theories that started with the Trump campaign in 2020 and then trickled down to local elections across the country, including in Colorado, both candidates say they trust the outcomes of elections in Colorado.
“Colorado has the most secure, safest election processes in the country. Arapahoe County has hosted other states, assisting them in improving their elections back home. All while winning three national awards for access, security and refuting dis-information.
I will have 100% confidence in the results,” Lopez said in a candidate survey.
Cornell said she’d like to see the legislature take some steps to address signature verification and ballot harvesting, which is when a third party gathers and submits completed ballots. In Colorado, a voter can authorize another individual to return their ballot. State law currently dictates that an individual can collect up to 10 ballots to return.
“Improvements to signature verification audits and regulating ballot harvesting activities are reasonable next steps for the legislature,” she
said. “...Enhancing audit practices will help restore confidence in the process.”
The clerk and recorder is also responsible for other county services, such as vehicle registrations, marriage licenses and preserving public documents. The main office of the department is located in Littleton, but branches for motor vehicle services exist across the county. There are also nine motor vehicle registration renewal kiosks available to residents.
Cornell said she’d like to see more of those kiosks installed.
“Installing kiosks at additional grocery stores in underserved communities with extended business hours is a win-win,” she said. “Improving this service and increasing awareness of this option would help manage wait times as walk in services are reintroduced.”
Colorado counties are responsible for a lot of aspects of daily life. Among them: appraising and recording all real and personal property within the jurisdiction. This year, incumbent PK Kaiser, a Democrat, faces Republican Bob Andrews, a real estate professional and former state House candidate, for the seat.
Kaiser, who also formerly ran unsuccessfully for Aurora City Council, was elected in 2018. In the assessor’s office, he’s responsible for classifying and evaluating property, maintaining relevant public records and completing the annual Abstract of Assessment.
While the job of the county assessor is one that deals with property, the office doesn’t set or collect taxes. The main job is to determine the value of property.
Still, the two candidates have a clear idea of how they’d like to see the office run.
“I am a strong believer in exceptional customer service, so much so that I taught college credit classes in customer service. Elected officials are servants of the public and need to be accessible,” Andrews said in a candidate survey. “I will have a walkin office available to taxpayers. The position of County Assessor is a full-
assessors’ offices for mutual benefits.”
Prior to the pandemic, the assessor’s office set up a temporary mobile office in the Heather Gardens retirement community in Aurora, where residents could submit appeals, protests, abatements and other applications.
Kaiser said he’s currently working on plans to replicate that model in “remote areas” and to people who may not have internet access.
While not a highly political office that endures the same kinds of issues as state lawmakers or even county commissioners, Kaiser and Andrews each say it’s still important for the position to be elected.
“I think it is important that the office for County Assessor be elected by the county citizens so they can be assured that the individual is competent, thorough, and accountable. Voting eliminates political nepotism and the ‘good old boy’ system,” Kaiser said. “With population increase in number and diversity more representation will bring more talent into politics.”
Andres said the position, however, shouldn’t be partisan.
member Marsha Berzins is running for Arapahoe County treasurer this fall as a Republican; she is a small business owner and served on the council between 2009 and 2021, including as mayor pro tem. She earned bachelor’s degrees in economics and business administration from Park College and previously studied at the University of Alabama. Berzins and her husband live in Aurora and have five children.
Michael WesterbergBob Andrews is a real estate professional in Colorado. He was born and raised in Limon, east of Denver, and has spent nearly five decades in Arapahoe County. He’s worked in real estate for 40 years and spent 25 years doing appraisals. In 2020, Bob, a Republican, ran against Democrat Iman Jodeh for the state House District 41 seat in Aurora. He earned 34 percent of the vote in that race.
time job, and your County Assessor should report to work every day and be accessible to anyone in public at any time to discuss matters regarding their property. This is why this position is titled public servant.”
Kaiser said if elected to another term, his top priority would be to expand services to a county that encompasses 805 square miles and large urban centers and small towns.
“We will keep working on the process improvements across the different sections of the assessor’s office,” he said. “The assessor office is more efficient and accessible than ever before. We will keep the open hire policy, career development & work flexibility for the staff. We will cooperate with other county
“Party affiliation should not be a variable when determining the value of a property,” he said. “In fact, considering party affiliation when valuing would be a violation of my appraisal license and would lead to disciplinary actions by the Division of Regulatory Agencies… it is best that the Assessors Office is run by a Licensed Appraiser who is not appointed by the Commissioners (BOCC) since the BOCC control the budget.”
Marsha Berzins
Michael Westerberg, a tax attorney and a Democrat, is running for Arapahoe County treasurer. He earned undergraduate degrees in sociology and criminal justice, before attending law school in Arizona and earning a master of laws degree in taxation from the University of Denver. Westerberg lives with his wife in Aurora.
Marsha Berzins and Michael Westerberg are facing off this fall over the future of the Arapahoe County treasurer job most recently held by Republican Sue Sandstrom. Berzins, a small business owner who served on Aurora’s City Council for more than a decade and then ran for mayor, said her experience in the business world made her uniquely qualified to run the office, which is responsible for collecting and investing county funds.
“I know you cannot learn man-
PK Kaiser, a Democrat, was elected Arapahoe County Assessor in 2018. The father of three is currently working on his Ph.D in economics from Euclid University. He’s worked at Colorado community colleges and universities, with the U.S. Postal Service and as a tax examiner in state government. In 2015, PK ran for the non-partisan Ward VI seat on the Aurora City Council, losing to Francoise Bergan. Since he’s served on several boards and advisory groups in Aurora and Arapahoe County. PK is an active Colorado Ad-Valorem Appraiser and has broker licenses.
agement skills only out of a book. It takes day-to-day, common-sense experience dealing with people,” Berzins wrote in her Sentinel survey. “I have that experience and leadership. I value all people and what they can each contribute. I have been a public servant since my teen years and look forward to many more years.”
Westerberg, a tax attorney, said past treasurers have gotten away with doing the “bare minimum” in office and that he hoped to implement new revenue-generating ideas for the county.
“I have management experience of junior personnel at nearly all my previous employers,” he wrote in his survey. “I do not intend to micromanage, but I do pride myself on my communication skills and collaboration. I have confidence I will be able to communicate a vision and direction to the Treasurer’s Office staff so they have a framework to work within.”
Berzins said on her campaign website that her priorities include fighting fraud, waste and abuse of our tax dollars if elected. Westerberg’s platform includes responsible investing and sharing information about county spending and programs with taxpayers.
When asked about the wisdom of investing county money in mortgage funds, both said the funds have historically been a safe investment, despite the subprime mortgage crisis 15 years ago. Berzins said the funds pose “virtually no risk to the investor” and Westerberg called them “a good, stable investment,” but said he would watch the housing market for signs of a downturn.
Police Department veteran, is running on the Republican ticket to unseat the incumbent Arapahoe County sheriff this fall. Edling holds a master’s degree in education from Colorado State University, a bachelor’s in professional aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and an associate’s in criminal justice / political science from the Community College of the Air Force. He has also served in the Colorado Air National Guard for more than 30 years, including as commander of the 140th Security Forces Squadron, completing his last deployment from the Middle East in 2018.
the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is not only participating in best business practices but displaying them on a daily basis,” he said.
Edling answered the same question by saying he wanted to install dashboard-mounted cameras in sheriff’s office vehicles and publish information about the office’s policies online.
Democrat Tyler Brown has served as Arapahoe County’s sheriff since 2019, prior to which he worked for more than a decade as a police officer, code enforcement officer and campus safety officer at agencies around the Denver metro area, including in Aurora. He sits on the governing board of the Unified Metropolitan Forensic Crime Lab, is co-chair of the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation (Facility); and is on the board of the Arapahoe County Justice Coordinating Committee. Brown lives in Aurora with his wife and two daughters.
Kevin Edling
Democrat Tyler Brown is seeking a second term as sheriff of Arapahoe County this fall, opposed by Republican Kevin Edling.
Priorities for Brown’s next term as the county’s top law enforcement officer would include expanding mental health resources in the Arapahoe County Detention Center, continuing the agency’s rollout of body-worn cameras, creating a diversion program for low-level offenders with the district attorney’s office and installing more license plate cameras around the county.
Brown wrote in his Sentinel survey that he wants to improve transparency within the agency by continuing the accreditation process through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
“This opens up our agency to review on an annual basis and on-site reviews every four years to ensure
Edling’s priorities as sheriff, according to his campaign website, include supporting homeless outreach programs, using proactive policing strategies to curb property crime and ensuring deputies are “patrolling the areas that have been identified by predictive crime modeling and common sense,” and recruiting and retaining more deputies.
“Also, the current Sheriff’s leadership team has just one person who is not white,” Edling wrote in his survey. “There are no Hispanic or Black leaders on the command staff today. That is simply not acceptable. We need the ACSO to be representative of the community we serve, and we currently are not.”
He wrote that he would make sure the pay and benefits offered by the office are competitive and that part-time positions could be offered to certified officers who recently retired or left the career to fill a staffing shortage and mentor younger officers.
Brown said on his campaign website that, during his first term as sheriff, the agency’s retention rate was high, with less than 5% of public safety staff positions vacant.
Kelly Lear
Republican challenger Ron Bouchard is running to serve as Arapahoe County’s coroner, bringing over 30 years of basic science research laboratory experience in the university and medical fields to the role. His expertise includes microscopy and digital imaging of tissue and cellular biology, application sciences, equipment and facilities management, and systems operations. He worked for 15 years as a research biologist with the Denver VA Medical Center. Bouchard earned his bachelor’s degree in ceramics and photography from Louisiana State University
Kelly Lear, an 18-year veteran of the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, is seeking re-election this fall, opposed by Republican microscopist Ron Bouchard.
Bouchard did not return his Sentinel survey. His campaign website says he is running to bring greater transparency to the office. He said he wants to “elucidate the root cause of deaths associated with global COVID-19 pandemic” and investigate cases of “sudden adult death syndrome,” a diagnosis that vaccine skeptics have claimed without evidence is being used to hide the true nature of vaccine-related deaths.
Kelly Lear has worked for the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office since 2004, serving as a forensic pathologist and chief deputy coroner before she was appointed to the top role, and later elected, in 2014. She is a clinical faculty member at the University of Colorado Medical Campus and at Rocky Vista University, and teaches medical students and pathology residents from numerous medical and osteopathic schools. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology, biochemistry and molecular biology from Cornell College and her doctorate of medicine from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. She is also board-certified in anatomic and clinical pathology and forensic pathology and is licensed to practice medicine in the state of Colorado. Lear is running this year as a Democrat. She lives in Littleton with her daughter.
Lear has promoted herself as the only physician and forensic pathologist on the ballot and said she is running to uphold her office’s high standard of work.
“I am seeking re-election in order to give the families that we serve the highest-quality medicolegal death investigation, something that happens only with medically informed leadership,” she wrote in her Sentinel survey.
“I believe that it is vital that a medical doctor be the person directing medical decisions and determining the cause and manner of death; families deserve to have this resource available to them when seeking answers to a tragic death.”
Sean Forest is the Republican candidate running to serve as the District 3 representative on the Adams County Board of Commissioners. A county resident for over 20 years, Forest is a business owner and has worked in project management for 15 years, according to his campaign website. He is a Marine Corps veteran and has served on the Adams County Planning Commission and the Businesses of Thornton Advisory Council, among other local organizations. He has been endorsed by Brighton mayor Greg Mills and the Colorado Oil & Gas Commission.
Emma Pinter, a Democrat, is running for a second term as the Adams County Commissioner for District 3. First elected in 2018, Pinter previously served two terms as a city council member in Westminster and is a licensed attorney. She serves on a number of committees, including the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership and the Colorado Communities for Climate Action. Pinter has been endorsed by Commissioner Lynn Baca and Representatives Jason Crow and Joe Neguse, among others.
Pinter is running for a second term representing Adams County’s 2nd District on the Board of County Commissioners against Republican Sean Forest.
Pinter is an attorney, and before being elected at the county level served two terms on the Westminster city council. Forest is a business owner who works in project management and has been on a number of local boards, including the Adams County Planning Commission.
Along with much of the Denver metro area and surrounding environments, Adams County has seen significant growth over the past decade, with the county as a whole now home to over half a million people. That fact is top of mind for Forest, who said that managing growth will be Adams County’s biggest challenge going forward.
“The state demography office forecasts Adams County will be the 3rd largest county after Denver and El Paso,” Forest said in response to a Sentinel questionnaire. “Therefore, Adams County needs to plan to accommodate that growth and the needs that come with it, such as housing, water, energy, affordability, recreation, natural space, and business development.”
For her part, Pinter said that strengthening the local economy, creating more affordable housing and protecting what she called the “Colorado way of life” — including a healthy natural environment and access to reproductive health.
Last fall the board of commis-
sioners voted to leave the Tri-County Health Department following Douglas County’s departure, triggering the breakup of the decades-long partnership between Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.
Last month, Adams County named Kelly Weidenbach to serve as the executive director for the Adams County health department, which will officially come online at the beginning of 2023. Weidenbach previously served as the Director of Planning and Information Management at Tri-County and has a doctorate in public health and health policy management.
Asked about how to manage the transition, Pinter said that the new department is being staffed and led by a number of highly qualified individuals and will provide a range of low or no-cost services to county residents.
“Adams County’s vision for its new health department is guided by public health industry best practices and by a vision for having the social determinants of health and equity as a foundation to our health department’s structure and activities,” she said.
Forest said that the board can ensure a smooth transition by making sure that communication to residents is communicated frequently through multiple channels and by ensuring that the new department offers the same services that Tri-County did.
Both candidates said that they believe mental health services and
access to housing are needed to address homelessness in the county, though Forest said he believes access to housing addresses the symptom of homelessness more than the cause.
Pinter has been endorsed by county commissioners Steve O’Dorisio, Lynn Baca and Eva Henry, along with a number of other local Democratic politicians. Forest has been endorsed by Federal Heights Mayor Linda Montoya, Brighton Mayor Greg Mills, the Colorado Oil & Gas Commission and two Fraternal Order of Police lodges.

Four years after flipping the Adams County Clerk and Recorder seat, Democrat Josh Zygielbaum is vying for re-election. This time, he faces Republican candidate Karen Hoopes, a former Mapleton Board of Education member, for the seat.
Zygielbaum and other election officials across the country also face steeper challenges than they did four years ago. Mis- and dis-information stepped prominently into the spotlight ahead of the 2020 presidential election results, when Donald Trump falsely claimed the voting process was rigged. The conspiracy theory, which has been debunked over and over again, has taken hold in some coservative circles, and in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection came local threats of violence and acts of intimidation.
Earlier this year, Zygielbaum, a former Marine, told ABC News that he wears a bulletproof vest to the office due to threatening messages.
“I think January 6 was a good reminder that it can very easily go beyond just words,” Zygielbaum told Denver7 in May. “You repeat a lie (and) enough people start to believe it, and I think that there is probably a coordinated effort at the very top, and others just eventually felt that it was truth and began to follow.”
Distrust is something he says he battles on an ongoing basis.
“I encourage anyone who doubts our processes to come for a tour, to become an election worker, or an election watcher,” he told the Sentinel in a candidate survey. “I encourage those who believe in the conspiracies to become a part of the elections process to gain an understanding for how it all actually works.”
Hoopes proposes more “transparency” measures to engage citizens. She said as clerk she would “provide online public access to scanned ballot images immediately following an election to increase transparency and improve voter confidence” and add high resolution cameras to ballot drop boxes across the county. Those videos could then be monitored by citizens through a livestream feed on the clerk’s website.
Hoopes said she will “trust but verify” the 2022 election results.
“Regarding my acceptance of the outcome of the election, ask me again on Nov. 9,” she said.
Beyond elections, the county clerk and recorder is responsible for a bevy of other actions, such as motor vehicle registration, granting marriage licenses and recording documents.
With those services, Zygielbaum said he wants to continue improving access. He touts an office that his office opened dedicated to the business community and improving online access to payments.
“I will continue along this path, expanding services strategically in order to serve our community in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible,” he said.
Hoopes’ said upon being elected, she would “gain a better understanding of our customer’s needs, likes, and dislikes through customer opinion surveys and focus groups.”
Republican Stan Martin is a familiar face in Adams County. He was the county clerk and recorder before losing reelection to Josh Zygielbaum in 2018. His challenger is Democrat Alexander Villagran. Culpepper, a Democrat, did not earn enough signatures to get on the primary ballot earlier this year.
The duo are running to essentially be the county’s banker, a position both said they don’t take lightly. The county treasurer’s office is responsible for collecting and investing county funds. The treasurer is tasked with property taxes and distributing the revenue to the county, its municipalities and to schools.
“County treasurers have an enormous responsibility overseeing the taxpayer funds. This is the ‘peoples’ money, not the Treasurers’ money,” Martin said in a candidate survey. He said he would take a conservative approach to county finances, not risking public dollars on a volatile cryptocurrency market, but rather in “safe, secure savings accounts.”
Ken Musso
Ken Musso will run for a second term as Adams County assessor this fall, facing assessor’s office employee and Republican nominee Hieu Nguyen.
Stan Martin, a Republican, is vying for what would make his second elected position in Adams County. Martin, a third-generation Adams County resident, also served as the clerk and recorder in Adams County. He lost a re-election bid in 2018 to Josh Zygielbaum, a Democrat. For a decade, Martin worked in corporate management, then went on two spend 21 years operating his own general contracting business.
Alexander VillagranVillagran said he believed that “no more than 1% of (the) portfolio should be invested in a bitcoin retirement county fund.”
The treasurer is also responsible for submitting monthly reports on county finances to county commissioners. Culpepper reportedly did not submit such reports in 2019, 2021 and from January 2021 to July 2021.
“We are unified as a Board that legal action is required to ensure this independently elected office is transparent in the accounting of county taxpayer dollars,” commissioners said in a statement to the press last October. “To date the Treasurer has not provided required reports and has not provided adequate information requested to allow for a standard audit of the office. The limited information the Board has been able to gather indicates the Treasurer is not timely or accurate in performing statutory duties, which could negatively impact the county’s bond rating and financial outlook.”
Incumbent Ken Musso has led the Adams County Assessor’s Office since 2019 and is running for re-election this fall. Musso has been working in the field of real estate appraisal since 1999 and joined Adams County as a residential appraiser in 2004, going on to serve as the office’s commercial / industrial appraisal supervisor before being elected in 2018.
The assessor’s office is responsible for listing and valuing properties in Adams County for tax purposes. Nguyen said on her campaign website that she wants to make the office more accessible by opening satellite offices, improving the system for members of the public to submit paperwork online and communicating more with county residents.
“The largest problem with the current assessor’s office is their lack of community involvement,” Hieu’s website reads. “I want to keep the public informed of all the important dates and events that would impact the citizens of Adams County, such as when to apply for senior exemptions, or when to apply for appeals so our citizens can keep more of their hard-earned money.”
Musso wrote in his Sentinel survey that the office had been able to make more of its processes and information available online and that in his next term he too wanted to open satellite offices.
Democrat Alexander Villagran is seeking to serve as the Adams County treasurer. He has experience working as a treasurer for a national nonprofit and is a former financial adviser. Villigran has a master’s degree from the University of Michigan, according to his campaign website.
Republican challenger Hieu Nguyen is running to become Adams County assessor this fall; according to her website, she brings four years of experience working in the assessor’s office.
He said his top priority if elected would be to “execute the duties of the assessor’s office to the best of my abilities.”
“Our main goal is to produce fair valuations and offer good customer service with complete transparency for the people of Adams County,” Musso wrote.

Despite turbulence in the office, Martin said the treasurer should be an elected partisan office.
“I firmly believe Adams County citizens should have the final say in who they want to represent, not some other partisan elected officials,” Martin said.
Villagran said his management experience is what will give him an edge in the office.
“I possess over eight years managerial experience in the public sector,” he wrote in a candidate survey. “The progression: I successfully lead a staff of 10, 15 and then 42 clerical and professional individuals.”

Prior to being the Adams County clerk, Martin spent 21 years operating his own general contracting business. Before that, he worked in corporate management.

It’s a historic season in several ways in boys tennis for Aurora and it’s not over yet.
The advent of the separate team state championship tournament added by the Colorado High School Activities Association — a college-like format that many coaches had long hoped for — has created more opportunities for high-level play.
pionships in the previous format — where team points were accrued from individual state qualifiers — and came in as favorites to win again, although the new format gives a chance for teams with good depth to challenge for the title.
Playing high level matches against Boulder and Ralston Valley, Regis Jesuit players were clearly ready for the Oct. 7 5A Region 4 tournament, where berths in the Oct. 13-15 individual state tournament at City Park were on the line.
Regis Jesuit has taken full advantage of the new format, as it has not only qualified for the state team tournament, but coach Laura Jones’ team has also advanced all three singles positions and all four doubles groups to the individual state tournament.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports EditorThe Raiders qualified for the 16-team state tournament — which is contested in a dual match format until one team is left standing. Regis Jesuit went undefeated in the regular season and got the No. 3 seed in the tournament behind powerhouse Cherry Creek and No. 2 Valor Christian.
The tournament appears to have been seeded correctly, as the top four teams — the Bruins, Eagles, Raiders and No. 4 Fossil Ridge — all advanced through two rounds of play to reach the Oct. 11 semifinals (results unavailable at press time, see sentinelcolorado.com/preps for an updated tournament scoreboard). The winners of those matches play Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. at City Park to determine the team state champion.
Cherry Creek has won 44 all-time state cham-
Singles players
Clay Dickey (No. 1), Agustin Azcui (No. 2) and Brady Jenkins (No. 3) along with the doubles teams of KC Eckenhausen and Liam McDonnell (No. 1), Aidan Sobolevsky and Carl Siegel (No. 2), Joe Dorais and Tyler Ryan (No. 3) and Devin McCausland and Adam Rydel (No. 4) all won championship matches to qualify. Eckenhausen and McDonnell won the No. 3 doubles state championship last year.
Grandview also picked a good year to have its best-ever team.
Coach Jeff Ryan’s Wolves have been competitive of late — usually with a finish in the middle of the Centennial League standings — but took a big step forward this season with the arrival of some freshmen as well as the addition of transfer student Eduard Tsaturyan at No. 1 singles.
Grandview lost only two league dual matches (6-1 to Cherry Creek in a match closer than the final score and 4-3 to Arapahoe in an early season dual when it wasn’t in peak form) and also qualified for the team state tournament. The Wolves topped Monarch before they were swept in the second round by Cherry Creek. Grandview players rode that momentum into the program’s best performance at the Region 3 tournament in Loveland.
The Wolves earned their way into six of the seven championship matches — all of them headto-head contests with Fossil Ridge, one of the 5A team semifinalists — and all of those positions advanced to the state tournament.
Tsaturyan remained undefeated and won the No. 1 singles title and freshman Justin Son took the No. 3 singles bracket, while the doubles teams of Matthew Park & Bruno Denegri Perez (No. 1), Alex Eckley and Josh Son (No. 2), Caleb Hodges and Mark Yan (No. 3) and Moahmmed Batthef and Carter Benton (No. 4) all got into state despite losses in the final.
Smoky Hill had a drought of more than a decade without a state tournament qualifier, but that streak has ended for coach Jeff Davis’ program.
Sophomore George Robin lost his second round match at No. 1 singles in Region 4, but won a consolation semifinal, the third-place match and a challenge match to make it to state.
Three Aurora softball programs — all from the Centennial League — earned spots in the Class 5A regional softball field and will be spread out as they aim to earn spots in the 5A state tournament.
The Colorado High School Activities Association issued the 32-team field — divided into eight four-team regionals — Oct. 11 and it included Grandview, Cherokee Trail and Eaglecrest. The Centennial League champion Wolves hold the No. 11 seed, the Cougars sit No. 14 and the Raptors check in at No. 23.
Eaglecrest is part of Region 7, which will run Oct. 14-15 at Chatfield. The Raptors (13-10) play 10th-seeded Arvada West at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 14 and with a win would play in the 3 p.m. championship game. An opening round loss would send Eaglecrest into a 10 a.m. Oct. 15 elimination game, while a loss in the championship game would put them in a 12:15 p.m. contest with a state berth on the line.
Grandview (16-7) is part of the Region 6 tournament at Ponderosa, where 22nd-seeded Loveland is its first opponent in a 10 a.m. game Oct. 15 at Metzler Community Ranch Park. The regional also includes the host and sixth-seeded Mustangs plus No. 27 Brighton. The regional championship game is at 12:15 p.m. and the second state qualifying game is 2:30 p.m.
Cherokee Trail joins host and No. 3 Valor Christian, No. 19 Fruita Monument (the Cougars’ first opponent) and No. 30 Mountain Range in the Region 5 tournament, which will be played at the Aurora Sports Park. The Cougars will play their opening game at 10 a.m., while the next round begins at 12:15 p.m. and the final game at 2 p.m.
Two teams from each regional qualify for the 5A state tournament Oct. 21-22 at the Aurora Sports Park.
A few days after one of its most memorable victories in quite some time, the Cherokee Trail girls volleyball team saw the Centennial League championship just slip through its fingers.
Coach Harry Hendon’s Cougars slugged it out with rival Grandview Oct. 6 in a match in which three of the five sets needed extra points to decided and they came out on top of a 21-25, 27-25, 26-24, 20-25, 20-18 decision. Sanaa Grant had 17 kills in the victory for Cherokee Trail, while Gwen Mitchell added 14, which was enough to overcome
18 from the Wolves’ Emerson Deferme and 13 apiece from Gabriella Placide and Keona Bui.
The win also earned the Cougars a chance to play for the Centennial League championship against Cherry Creek, with the winner automatically qualifying for the Class 5A postseason. Cherokee Trail had its chances in all three sets — including a couple of set points in the third — but the defending 5A state champion Bruins prevailed 25-23, 25-19, 27-25.
Centennial League teams move into a mini league tournament (which begins Oct. 13) and then have one more tournament to conclude the regular season.
For the second straight week, Aurora football teams finished with a 3-8 record.
Eaglecrest celebrated its Homecoming with a 30-0 win over Cherokee Trail Oct. 7 at Legacy Stadium. Diego Cearns rushed for the first and last touchdowns for the Raptors, while Jacob Schmitt connected with Xavier Waldron for another and Ramadje Owens had a scoop and score.
Eaglecrest is city-best 6-1.

Plomer is the Democratic candidate running for the at-large seat on the Colorado Board of Education. Since 2011 she has worked in the Tri-County Health Department, most recently as a resource coordinator. She has had a career in public health for 30 that includes HIV/ AIDS education, breast cancer detection and keeping tobacco out of schools, according to her campaign website. From 2013 to early 2022 she was on the Adams 14 Board of Education, where she also served as PTCO president and as a member of the District Accountability Committee. She has been endorsed by Gov. Jared Polis and Congressmen Jason Crow and Joe Neguse. Plomer has three children.

In the new at-large seat, former Adams 12 school board President Kathy Plomer, a Democrat, is running against Republican Dan Maloit, a veteran and St. Vrain Valley School District parent who became politically active arguing for schools to reopen.
Maloit said he wants to support teachers, get back to basics, and bring a parent perspective. A founder of the Colorado Alliance for In-Person Learning, Maloit said voters will — and should — remember decisions made in 2020 and 2021.
“We both said we wanted kids back in school,” Maloit said. “She was a school board president, and those kids stayed out of school pretty long. I said, ‘I want to get back in school,’ and I risked my family’s livelihood and personal reputation to put them back in there. I think that that’s going to matter.”
Plomer said she’s happy to have that debate. Board members made the best decisions they could with the information they had at the time, she said, while facing criticism from all sides.
Dan Maloit is the Republican candidate running for the at-large seat on the Colorado Board of Education. A veteran, Maloit served in the military for nine years, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and has a degree from the University of Colorado Boulder. He currently works as a sales manager
But she prefers to talk about what kids and schools need now. She first got involved years ago as a parent volunteer when her oldest started kindergarten, and she served on the Colorado Association of School Boards’ executive committee, a position she says exposed her to issues facing districts around the state, including in far-flung rural districts.
“At this time, we need people who understand the system,” she said. “There are no soundbite answers to our questions. We need to have tough conversations.”
The former division chief over the Adams County Jail and a veteran of the sheriff’s office for about two decades, Gene Claps, is running for sheriff this fall. Claps defeated incumbent Democrat sheriff Rick Reigenborn in their party’s primary election earlier this year, taking about 56.3% of the vote. Claps was among a group of senior officers that Reigenborn removed upon taking office in 2019. He attended Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command, and is currently working on a bachelor’s degree through Colorado State University Global Campus’ criminal justice program. Claps currently serves as a Colorado Ranger.
Democrat Rick Reigenborn defeated McIntosh and secured the sheriff’s post in 2018 by a margin of about 5%. But Reigenborn’s tenure got off to a controversial start with the ouster of a number of senior officers — including Claps — during his second day in office over perceived loyalty to McIntosh.
The office has also since faced a criminal investigation by state police into record-keeping discrepancies in the training division, among other controversies. In June, Claps usurped his former boss during their party’s primary election.
Claps’ priorities if elected include restoring the office’s partnership with Community Reach and other mental health care resources in Adams County, engaging in proactive enforcement around highcrime areas and improving relationships with other agencies.
“I plan to continue to address and work with other Adams County stakeholders in reducing recidivism and other public issues like homelessness and drug abuse which are normally linked to some type of mental health concerns,” Claps wrote in his Sentinel survey.
“While working with mental health professionals and providing programs, education, and training to our inmate population, we will assist them in job searches, housing, transportation and other life skills for their success so they can provide for themself and their families.”
change in order to make Adams County a safer, more enjoyable place for our residents to live.”
McIntosh said he would combat attrition by restoring a “strong, quality leadership team” and said the office achieved a single-digit attrition rate during his tenure as sheriff.
He also said he hopes to restart mental health programs at the county’s jail that had been discontinued by Reigenborn that had also helped inmates reintegrate into the community.

Mike McIntosh is running as a Republican to retake the Adams County Sheriff’s Office this fall, bringing with him more than 30 years of experience in the office, including four years as sheriff. The U.S. Navy veteran is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command. McIntosh’s last tenure as sheriff ended in 2019, and he has worked for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office since 2021. McIntosh has been married to his wife, Cathy, for 35 years, and the two have children.
To help attract deputies to the office, Claps said he would work with commissioners and other county leaders to make sure pay and incentives are comparable with other Front Range agencies.

Aurora announced last Tuesday afternoon the failure of its first attempt to find a replacement for ousted police chief Vanessa Wilson, after three finalists withdrew or were rejected by city leaders.
Officials said they would announce soon how Aurora will proceed in finding a new police chief following weeks of friction between community leaders and the city.
The final stage of the chief search was fraught with controversy, with one candidate — Scott Booth of the Danville Police Department in Virginia — dropping out the same day the city announced its lineup of three finalists.
The two remaining candidates — Scott Ebner formerly of the New Jersey State Police and David Franklin of the Albuquerque Police Department — met with police and community members last week, but the city announced Tuesday afternoon that Franklin withdrew his application after visiting the city.
City spokesman Ryan Luby later wrote in an email that Ebner “did not have a majority of the necessary support to proceed.”
“Over the last week, I listened to a lot of feedback from community members and City Council members who want us to continue the
search for a variety of reasons, and I support that,” City Manager Jim Twombly said in a press release.
“We all – city management, the City Council and the community –want the best person for the job who will address crime in Aurora and lead the Aurora Police Department to be racially equitable, bias-free, culturally competent and responsive to all residents.”
The announcement means Aurora has no clear timeline for replacing Wilson, who City Manager Jim Twombly fired earlier this year, naming former chief Dan Oates as her temporary replacement.
“Moving forward, we will be assessing the process and determining next steps as we continue the search,” Twombly said Tuesday.
“People across our community may have differing preferences of who they want to lead the Aurora Police Department, but we will make sure that whoever is chosen will be held to serving every member of our community equitably.”
The selection of Booth, Ebner and Franklin as finalists drew sharp criticism from a spectrum of lawmakers and community leaders who called the process opaque and said no serious effort was made to get the input of residents of color on the candidates.
“We have an opportunity to do this better and get it right this time,”
said state Sen. Rhonda Fields, who criticized the city’s selection process after the finalists were initially announced in a joint statement with state Sen. Janet Buckner.
Fields said the city should take the chance to solicit feedback from residents about what they’d like in a new chief, and use that to guide the selection of a new chief. Buckner said she hoped the city brings the community into the process before finalists are chosen.
“This is the right thing to do, starting over again,” she said. “It’s too important of a decision to rush.”
The city up until Monday defended the process, saying Wilson was chosen via the same process and that seven of the 21 applicants were women or people of color, including two of the nine semifinalists (the three finalists were white men).
— MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff WriterColorado’s secretary of state office says it mistakenly sent postcards to about 30,000 noncitizens encouraging them to register to vote, blaming the error on a database glitch related to the state’s list of residents with driver’s licenses.
The office of Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold insisted
none of the noncitizens will be allowed to register to vote if they try.
The news comes at a time of widespread skepticism — often unfounded — of voting integrity following the 2020 presidential election and as Griswold, who has touted her role as a national advocate for secure elections, seeks reelection in the November midterms.
Colorado’s Republican Party chair, Kristi Burton Brown, condemned Griswold for the error, saying in a Monday statement that “Jena Griswold continues to make easily avoidable errors just before ballots go out” by mail on Oct. 17.
Griswold faces Republican Pam Anderson, a former suburban Denver clerk and head of the state’s county clerks association, who is a staunch advocate of Colorado’s allmail voting system.
Griswold’s office said in a statement the postcards were mailed Sept. 7. The error happened after department employees compared a list of names of 102,000 people provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center, a bipartisan, multistate organization devoted to voter registration, to a database of Colorado residents issued driver’s licenses.
That Department of Revenue driver’s license list includes residents issued special licenses to people who are not U.S. citizens.
But it didn’t include formatting information that normally would have allowed the Department of State to eliminate those names before the mailers went out, Griswold’s office said Monday.
The incident is under investigation, it said. Colorado Public Radio News first reported the error.
Colorado is among at least 18 states, along with the District of Columbia, that issue driver’s licenses to non-U.S. citizens, according to the National Council on State Legislatures. Colorado also automatically registers eligible voters when they obtain their driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Griswold’s office said there it was unaware that anyone who received the postcards in error had tried to register.
It is sending notices to the roughly 30,000 postcard recipients who aren’t citizens they mistakenly received the postcards. And it is applying several efforts to prevent or reject anyone not eligible to vote from registering, including comparing Social Security Numbers required for each application, on a daily basis. County clerks also will refer suspect cases to local district attorneys for review.
Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, said the
fact that the mistake was caught shows the system is working.
“It should show, first of all, that mistakes can happen, but secondly that there are checks in place to make sure mistakes don’t result in disaster,” Morales-Doyle said. “It’s not good this happened. It appears to be a case of human error and a database error and not some conspiracy, which I think some critics would seize on.”
Morales-Doyle said there have been very few incidents of noncitizens attempting to register in the U.S. because the consequences are so severe — up to and including deportation.
The Electronic Registration Information Center, known as ERIC, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving U.S. voter rolls and encouraging registrations. Some 33 states and the District of Colombia belong to the group. Under its contract with ERIC, Colorado sends a mailing to eligible residents encouraging them to register each election cycle.
The Colorado postcards, in English and Spanish, do specify that residents must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old to register. They tell recipients how to register but are not themselves a registration form.
— JAMES ANDERSON, Associated PressA sex education book has been removed from circulation in Cherry Creek School District libraries following a parent complaint that prompted an internal review of three books.

“Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe and “Flamer” by Mike Curato and ultimately decided to remove “Let’s Talk About It” from district libraries, Snell confirmed to The Sentinel Wednesday.
According to the district this is the only removal request that has happened so far this school year, a time in which school and public libraries across the nation have faced an unprecedented number of attempts to have books removed.
The books in question have been the subject of numerous removal attempts at school districts across the country this year, according to news reports.
Published last year, “Let’s Talk About It” is an illustrated sex education guide aimed at a young adult audience and includes information about LGBTQ identity. According to the publisher, the book covers “relationships, friendships, gender, sexuality, anatomy, body image, safe sex, sexting, jealousy, rejection, sex education” and other topics.
During public comment at the Cherry Creek board of education’s Sept. 12 meeting, a speaker named Sarah King, who identified herself as the parent of four students in the district, said the book has been temporarily removed from a school library at her request, stating that she believed it was obscene and not appropriate for children.
“I want to express my utter shock and despair that this book was in a school library in the first place,” King said.
In the book, she said “you will find things that are reserved for the darkest corners of the internet and would be shocking to the decent adults of this community, much less children.”
She also expressed frustration that “Gender Queer” and “Flamer” were available in school libraries. She said that the book promoted obscenity with drawings and descriptions of “vile and depraved acts” and listed a series of specific page numbers that had inappropriate content.
“These books sexualize children and destroy their innocence,” King said.
“Let’s Talk About It” contains anatomical drawings of genitalia as well as several illustrations of people engaging in sexual activity. It also includes frank discussions of sex and relationships and topics including sexting, pornography, gender expression and sexual identity, STDs and birth control.
“Gender Queer” is an illustrated memoir that discusses the author’s adolescence and experience of coming out as nonbinary (someone who identifies as being neither a man or a woman). It includes several sexually explicit illustrations, according to news reports. “Flamer” is a semi-autobiographical graphic novel about a gay teenage boy struggling with his identity due to bullying and homophobia.
Following King’s complaint, the books underwent a review process conducted by library media specialists and administrators at the district and school level, during which time the book were not be available to be checked out, Snell said.
“I can confirm that we temporar-
ily removed the book referenced by the mom from the library for review based on Board of Education Policy IJL,” a district statement provided to The Sentinel read. “As always, families can have individual conversations with their children about the library materials they check out.”
The district’s policy regarding library materials selection, which was adopted and last revised in 1998, states that library media specialists should assess collections regularly and that criteria for removing materials includes limited circulation, out-of-date or inaccurate information and “inappropriate content for the age, maturity of the intended audience, which may include explicit adult or sexual content or extreme violence,” among other factors.
“The Board of Education of the Cherry Creek School District maintains that the purpose of education is, in part, to develop within students the capacity to reason, to form decisions based on intelligent analysis, to communicate, and to live compassionately with one another,” the policy states. “To meet these educational goals, the Board encourages the selection of a wide range of media on all levels of difficulty, with diversity of appeal, and different points of view. The Board of Education supports the principles of intellectual and academic freedom.”
The policy says that parents, teachers and students are encouraged to reach out to library staff directly if they have concerns about any specific materials.
Ultimately, Snell said the district’s team decided to keep “Flamer” and “Gender Queer” on shelves and remove “Let’s Talk About It” because it included content that was inappropriate for young people and contained some material about sexting that the district was worried could promote illegal behavior.
One of the book’s chapters is focused around sexting, and discusses the etiquette, legality and internet safety facets of exchanging naked photos with another person.
While the book generally takes a positive stance on sexting, it also explicitly states that exchanging nude images of a minor is illegal and should not be done by anyone under 18.
“As exciting as sexting is, there are serious legal consequences for sharing naked photos of folks under eighteen, even if the photos are of you and you’re sharing them with someone who’s the same age,” the book said.
“Let’s Talk About It” was previously on shelves in the libraries at Eaglecrest and Cherokee Trail high schools but according to district records had not been checked out, Snell said. Reader interest is one of the factors that go into determining what material to include on shelves.
Although the book is no longer in circulation, Snell said that students will not be prohibited from bringing their own copies of the book onto school grounds or teachers from discussing excerpts of the book in class.
Snell said that the decision to remove the book was not made lightly.

Yes, summer was fun, especially with the folks at Stanley Marketplace in north Aurora. But fall is looking like a bale of excitement too. From all the cozy beers you’re sure to find at Cheluna Brewing Co. to cooking classes at Create Cooking School that will help you master dining-in during the cold months, you’ll want to make the trek to 2501 Dallas St. And on Oct. 16, make sure to stop by for the free fall festival, which will feature all sorts of vendors.

“The Oak”, a symphonic poem from Florence Price, is eery and quiet, kind of like if you took a long walk through the park on a dreary evening and then turned in for an old film noir flick only to find it mirrored your entire day.
Dry Dock is turning 17 and to celebrate they are hosting a Banned Booze Ball. And believe it when I say there is a host of pretty original entertainment, from a pop-up tattoo parlor on-site to a cigar trailer. You and your partner can take swing dance lessons then cut a rug to some live classic American jazz and gypsy jazz tunes. Or if you happen to be rolling solo, find yourself a swell gal or fella and see if y’all have a peachy keen time. Then obviously get yourselves matching tattoos.
And as mentioned, Dry Dock wants to see you in your best “Prohibition/Speakeasy” attire.
General Admission tickets are $50 and VIP tickets are $80, with VIP getting you early entry and a complimentary t-shirt.

A favorite Autumnal pastime has returned to Chatfield Farms. Yep, the corn maze is back! This year’s maze spans seven acres and takes an estimated one hour to complete. The theme is described as a “dino-mite exploration of a prehistoric time” so… ya know, not to spoil anything but it might be in that descriptor. There’s more than just the maze at Chatfield if you pop in on the weekends. There’s a mini-maze for the youth, escape room, for an additional fee, barrel train rides for the kiddos (included with the purchase of mini-maze tickets).

Octubre 13, 2022
División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy Aurora, CO 80017 303-739-7921
Alrededor del 31 de octubre de 2022, la Ciudad de Aurora presentará una solicitud a HUD para la liberación de fondos HOME bajo la Ley de Inversión HOME, según enmendada. Este emprendimiento será para la nueva construcción del proyecto de construcción residencial multifamiliar Campus Potomac. El proyecto del Campus potomac estará ubicado en 1290 S. Potomac St. Aurora CO, 80012 e incluirá la creación de una estructura de vivienda de apoyo permanente independiente que atiende hasta 60 hogares. Este proyecto será financiado con hasta $1,000,000 de fondos HOME de la Ciudad de Aurora. El financiamiento total para este proyecto será de aproximadamente $21,539,909. Las 60 unidades apoyarán las necesidades de vivienda de alquiler que atienden a los inquilinos de ingresos más bajos durante el período más largo y brindarán oportunidades a una variedad de patrocinadores calificados de viviendas asequibles. La población objetivo para este edificio de PSH serán adultos solteros crónicamente sin hogar, o hogares solo para adultos.
Las actividades propuestas han requerido una Evaluación Ambiental bajo las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR Parte 58 de los requisitos de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental (NEPA). Un Registro de Revisión Ambiental (ERR) que documenta las determinaciones ambientales para este proyecto está archivado en la División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, Colorado, y puede examinarse o copiarse los días de semana de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.
HALLAZGO SIN IMPACTO SIGNIFICATIVO
La Ciudad de Aurora ha determinado que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el entorno humano. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental bajo la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (NEPA). La información adicional del proyecto se encuentra en el Registro de revisión ambiental (ERR) archivado en la Ciudad de Aurora, División de Desarrollo Comunitario, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO. y se puede examinar o copiar los días de semana de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.
COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS
Cualquier individuo, grupo o agencia puede enviar comentarios por escrito sobre la ERR a Alicia Montoya, City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda, Aurora, Colorado, 80012; o amontoya@auroragov.org. Si tiene preguntas e información adicional, comuníquese con Alicia Montoya a la dirección anterior o llame al 303-739-7900. Todos los comentarios recibidos antes del 30 de octubre de 2022 serán considerados por la Ciudad de Aurora antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud de liberación de fondos. Los comentarios deben especificar a qué Aviso se dirigen.
CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL
La Ciudad de Aurora certifica a HUD que Alicia Montoya, en su calidad de Gerente de la División de Desarrollo Comunitario, consiente en aceptar la jurisdicción de los Tribunales Federales si se inicia una acción para hacer cumplir las responsabilidades en relación con el proceso de revisión ambiental y que estas responsabilidades han sido satisfechas. La aprobación de la certificación por parte del estado de HUD cumple con sus responsabilidades conforme a la NEPA y las leyes y autoridades relacionadas, y permite que el nombre del beneficiario de la subvención utilice los fondos del Programa.
OBJECIONES A LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS HUD aceptará objeciones a su liberación de fondos y la certificación de la Ciudad de Aurora por un período de quince días después de la fecha de presentación anticipada o la recepción real de la solicitud (lo que ocurra más tarde) solo si se basan en una de las siguientes bases: ( a) la certificación no fue ejecutada por el Oficial Certificador de la Ciudad de Aurora; (b) la ciudad de Aurora ha omitido un paso o no ha tomado una decisión o hallazgo requerido por las reglamentaciones de HUD en 24 CFR parte 58; (c) el beneficiario de la subvención u otros participantes en el proceso de desarrollo han comprometido fondos, incurrido en costos o realizado actividades no autorizadas por 24 CFR Parte 58 antes de la aprobación de una liberación de fondos por parte de HUD; o (d) otra agencia federal que actúa de conformidad con 40 CFR Parte 1504 ha presentado una conclusión por escrito de que el proyecto no es satisfactorio desde el punto de vista de la calidad ambiental. Las objeciones deben prepararse y presentarse de acuerdo con los procedimientos requeridos (24 CFR Parte 58, Sec. 58.76) y deben dirigirse a Noemí Ghirghi Director interino de CPD CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
October 13, 2022
City of Aurora Community Development Division 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy Aurora, CO. 80017 303-739-7921
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about October 31, 2022 the City of Aurora will submit a request to HUD for the release of HOME funds under the HOME Investment Act, as amended. This undertaking will be for the new construction of the Potomac Campus multifamily residential building project. The Potomac Campus project will be located at 1290 S. Potomac St. Aurora CO, 80012 and will include the creation of a stand-alone permanent supportive housing structure serving up to 60 households. This project will be funded with up to $1,000,000 of the City of Aurora’s HOME funding. Total funding for this project will be approximately $21,539,909. The 60 units will support rental housing needs serving the lowest income tenants for the longest period and will provide opportunities to a variety of qualified sponsors of affordable housing. The target population for this PSH building will be chronically homeless single adults, or adult only households.
The activities proposed have required an Environmental Assessment under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from Na-
tional Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, Colorado, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 5 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Alicia Montoya, City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda, Aurora, Colorado, 80012; or amontoya@ auroragov.org. For questions and additional information please contact Alicia Montoya at the above address or call 303739-7900. All comments received by October 30, 2022 will be considered by the City of Aurora prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Aurora certifies to HUD that Alicia Montoya in her capacity as Community Development Division Manager consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s State’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the name of grant recipient to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and the City of Aurora certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Aurora; (b) the City of Aurora has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID19OEE-DEN@hud.gov.

“Let’s Talk About It,” “Gender Queer” and “Flamer” have all been heavy targets of censorship in recent months due to the fact that they contain some sexually explicit illustrations and LGBTQ content.
Last month, “Let’s Talk About It” was removed from the young adults section of a Valley City, N.D. library due to concerns about its explicit content, according to the Valley City Times Record.
“I’m not into book banning, but I believe that some children shouldn’t see this … this is definitely not what I’d want an 11-year-old to see,” Vicky Lovell, county commissioner, said in the article.
A recent report from free speech organization PEN America found that from July 2021 to June 2022 there were over 2,500 instances of individual books being banned in schools across the U.S.
The majority of attempts to ban books were being led by organized political groups, PEN said, of which the organization identified more than 50.
“Many Americans may conceive of challenges to books in schools in terms of reactive parents, or those simply concerned after thumbing through a paperback in their child’s knapsack or hearing a surprising question about a novel raised by their child at the dinner table,” the report said. “However, the large majority of book bans underway today are not spontaneous, organic expressions of citizen concern. Rather, they reflect the work of a growing number of advocacy organizations that have made demanding censorship of certain books and ideas in schools part of their mission.”
Over 40% of banned books had LGBTQ themes or characters, and 40% featured main or secondary characters of color, the report said. Another 22% included sexual content.
In an email, LGBTQ advocacy organization One Colorado executive director Nadine Bridges said that attempts to censor books containing LGBTQ content contributes to a culture of isolation for LGBTQ young people at a time in their life when many of them are struggling to determine who they are.
“When books that represent these students’ identities are censored, it sends a harmful message that there is something inherently wrong or shameful about them. It generates messages of exclusion and invalidation to their classmates,” Bridges said.
— CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Staff WriterPolice said it’s unclear what led to a roadway shooting in south Aurora Sunday night that left one man injured.
Aurora police said the shooting oc-
curred between 7:40 p.m. and 8 p.m. somewhere near Parker Road and Arapahoe Road.
An adult male was injured and sustained “non-life threatening wounds,” police said in a social media post Sunday night.
No suspect information was available, police said.
In a tweet, police said only that the shooting happened somewhere on the roadway, and that it was unclear whether some time of road altercation between the victim and the shooter led to the shooting as the victim was not forthcoming with details.
Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.

An Aurora mom and several first responders were recognized Tuesday for their quick thinking that saved the life of a young boy experiencing cardiac arrest in August.
Sharon Thompson was at home on the afternoon of Aug. 11 when she found her 15-month-old son, Alexander, unconscious and not breathing, according to a city press release.
Thompson called 911, and was connected with emergency communications specialist Julie McKay. McKay talked Thompson through the process of administering mouth-to-mouth ventilation and chest compressions in an effort to revive her son.
Soon after, Aurora police officer Daniel Kennicutt and Aurora Fire Rescue battalion chief Joe Hill arrived and were able to restart young Alexander’s heart through cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Dave Hamam, Bryant Snow, Patrick Taylor and Michael Wu from Aurora Fire Rescue and Kenneth Mackey and Tee Than from ambulance service Falck Rocky Mountain continued to provide medical care for Alexander, who was transported to the hospital.
Thanks to the swift intervention of his mother and first responders, Alexander made a complete recovery and is neurologically intact, the city release said. On Tuesday, the group was honored with the city’s Phoenix Award, given to individuals who successfully resuscitate someone in cardiac arrest who goes on to make a full recovery.
“I am celebrating Alexander’s life,” Thompson said during the ceremony that was attended by members of their family Tuesday. “I thought my baby was gone, but he came back to us to have this wonderful moment. You guys are heroes.”
McKay has been recognized twice this year with the Phoenix Award — in March, she helped save the life of a woman who also experienced cardiac arrest, according to the release.
