“Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
John F. Kennedy
We are endorsing Jerry DiTullio for City Council. We think he has done a great job as Mayor. The projects and issues that he has worked on have always been completed in a very smooth and fair manner.
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…
Jerry DiTullio worked hard as a member of City Council to learn the essentials of holding local office, particularly by successfully completing a Colorado program that trained participants in all aspects of local and county governing. I watched Jerry, as Mayor Pro Tem, apply his skills and what he had learned in serious efforts to get the work of the City Council done. It was clear he always stood by his principles, but sought compromise to find the best resolutions. When he ran for Mayor I was …
Jerry has done a fantastic job in Wheat Ridge as a member of City Council, our Mayor, and as Wheat Ridge Treasurer. Let’s keep the momentum going and elect Jerry for Jefferson County Treasurer. He will do a great job as he has done for the citizens of Wheat Ridge.
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 support Councilman Jerry DiTullio because he is a ferocious watchdog of taxpayer money, advocates for private property rights and his politics are pure pragmatism and not partisan. Jerry is a tireless worker for the citizens of Wheat Ridge and the region. Jerry has the three I’s – Industry, Intelligence and Integrity.
Jerry has served Wheat Ridge well as our elected treasurer. He’s enhanced transparency and provided insights and clarity to citizens about how our city’s budget works. I think this has gone a long way to dispel myths and misunderstandings, and enhance trust in our local government. Jerry will carry this transparency to the County Treasurer’s office.
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…
Jerry is a thoughtful and intelligent candidate with broad experience. He will be an advocate for protecting our neighborhoods from high density residential redevelopment. Jerry does believe in sustainable and sensible redevelopment in Wheat Ridge without harming our diverse neighborhoods. As always, Jerry will strive to preserve the hometown feel of our community.
