“Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
John F. Kennedy
In a time that many people fear ‘big government,’ it’s great to have a Mayor who responds to you personally. When I have questions or concerns about a park slated for our neighborhood, Jerry often replies to my emails quickly or with a phone call. Jerry’s dedication and personal attention has made visible changes in Wheat Ridge–for the benefit of us all.
I have been impressed with Jerry’s ability to bring transparency to the Wheat Ridge treasurer’s office relative to financial reporting. Jerry has managed and invested taxpayer funds to maximize interest earned while following the Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA). Jefferson County will benefit from Jerry’s background and experience.
Right off the top, we urge voters to choose incumbent Jerry DiTullio for mayor. His challenger, Councilwoman Lena Rotola, has said her first and foremost thought is that no public office should be unopposed, and the two candidates share many of the same goals in economic development and planning. So in this largely non-adversarial comparison, we back DiTullio’s efficient, focused and responsive style, as well as his as diverse background in numerous Wheat Ridge organizations and related commit… Read more
Local government budgets are complex. Jerry has been instrumental in bringing transparency and improved financial reporting to our constituents and the entire City Council. Because of Jerry, we all have a clearer understanding of how the city’s funds are managed and invested. Jerry is the most qualified candidate for County Treasurer.
Wheat Ridge is truly blessed to have Jerry DiTullio as its Mayor! Mayor DiTullio has shown great maturity in his leading of this City through working closely with so many different individuals and groups. He listens!; Also, Mayor DiTullio strives to lead the City Council in a cohesive manner so that this City can move forward in accomplishing so many wonderful things. As a small business owner and property owner here in Wheat Ridge, we are appreciative of the initiatives Mayor DiTullio has led a… Read more
I was elected official in Wheat Ridge for 20 years as the City Clerk, and 8 years as member of City Council, District II. I have known Jerry for over 20 years, and have found him to be an honest, fair and hardworking advocate for our City. We have a lot of work to do in this tough economy and we continue to need a member of City Council with the background, knowledge and experience that Jerry has.
I care a lot about how my hard-earned tax dollars are spent which is why I’m endorsing Jerry DiTullio for Jefferson County Treasurer. Jerry’s proven history of partnership, transparency, accountability and common-sense communication about government finances empowers citizens to know exactly how their dollars are serving our communities.
DiTullio has been a steady presence in city politics since 1995, serving on city council for 10 years before being elected mayor in 2005.
I have known Jerry DiTullio for quite a few years. Jerry is very approachable and eager to listen to comments about “doing business in the City of Wheat Ridge”. Jerry has always been fair minded with any discussions and has acted with the utmost integrity. The politics of leadership in a community and city government can be extremely difficult at times, and Jerry is a leader I am proud to work with.
In the last mayoral election I was an avid supporter of Jerry DiTullio’s opponent. Since then I have been impressed with Jerry’s leadership and communication skills. His pro-active response to the recent storm is an example. In order to better serve residents and businesses, Jerry encouraged the re-opening of the free branch collection site on Kipling. He also brought forth the ordinance now in place to rebate 50% of the city permit fees for storm related damage repairs, saving me and many of my… Read more
