2010 Special Election information concerning Wheat Ridge Fire District >> |
Another election is over and I want to thank the Wheat Ridge residents who took the time to vote. I also want to acknowledge those who made a commitment to their community and congratulate the City Council winners. I look forward to working with them as we move Wheat Ridge forward together. The election results (DiTullio 65%, Opponent 35%) is a clear and positive mandate from the citizens and businesses for the programs and policies that I have worked hard for the last fourteen years as a member of Council and Mayor. Much still needs to be done to revitalize certain areas of our community, such as 44th & Wadsworth Blvd., and to put Wheat Ridge on the map as the crown jewel of Jefferson County. Moving Wheat Ridge forward will require the expertise and hard work of ALL of the City Council members and City staff working for the betterment of our community. I look forward to the challenge the next four years. |
