2012 Election Guide




In case you haven't decided who to vote for yet let's take a look at the lineup for 2012 and we at the Arvada Report would like to make a few recommendations




Lang Sias is running for Senate district 19. He is a moderate conservative. Given the composition of the district we feel that Lang will make an excellent Senator, especially when you take a look at the competition:

Robert Ramirez is running for House of Representatives in district 29. Ramirez is the incumbent in this race. We fully expect Ramirez to pull ahead of his opponent who is a an attorney:

Joe Coors who we now know is not a beer. This is a business guy who is fed up with Washington and what they have done to business. I know Joe and believe me he didn't want to run for office, but over the years he sat and watched things get worse and worse. Finally he decided to do something.

Libby Szabo is also running in Arvada. In her first term Szabo sponsored some fantastic bills for Arvada including an effort to fight the Arvada trash Nazi's. Libby does have an opponent, he tried walking doors but after going down one street he was so winded he almost had a heart attack.

Tim Allport Seeks Election to State Legislature

Diversity of experience makes him best candidate for Colorado House District 27

ARVADA, Colo. (March 28, 2012) – Bringing a wealth of experience to the position, Tim Allport has formally declared his candidacy for this November’s election to become Colorado’s next representative to House District 27.

Allport, whose career includes positions in criminal justice, addictions counseling and mental health, believes the state legislature should give top priority to an economic environment that promotes expansion of good-paying jobs and an educational structure that paves the way for our children’s success.

“In the short-term, one of Colorado’s greatest resources is its pool of workers who are eager to contribute, and we need to nurture that resource,” Allport said. “In the long-term, we will ensure Colorado’s stability by preparing our children to become part of that pool of highly skilled and qualified workers.”

Allport has been highly active in the community on multiple levels, with a focus on political and labor issues. He has served as chairman of the Labor Initiative of the Colorado Democratic Party.

“I believe my life experiences have given me a solid and unique background to serve our district and the people of Colorado,” he said. “My work in corrections, addiction counseling, and mental health will help in my role as state representative as I advance public policy and improve the lives of Colorado residents.”

Zealous Zenzinger Gerrymanders

Our city council representative went to the last redistricting meeting and it wasn't to represent us. She is quoted in the transcript as saying, "With regards [to] the Adams County portion of SD 19, those residents consider themselves Arvadans".

For those of you who don't know this is the definition of gerrymandering just to be clear:

Gerrymander 

1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) to divide the constituencies of (a voting area) so as to give one party an unfair advantage
2. to manipulate or adapt to one's advantage

This is an official transcript of the August 9th redistricting meeting where Councilor Zenzinger spoke:

August 9th 2011 9:43 PM
Rachel Palmer Zenzinger from the Arvada City Council spoke. With regards the Adams County portion of SD 19, those residents consider themselves Arvadans and it makes sense to have them in SD 19. Old Town Arvada is the heart of the community. It's been in a different senate district and is now included. The new Gold Line transit line will have a station in the Adams County portion of Arvada. East Arvada is very different from western Arvada. It's older and harder to get funding for from the city council. It makes more sense to divide on Wadsworth. All schools for closure were along Wadsworth. She explained the Wadsworth corridor would be about 88 to 52 to Tennyson.

I only wish we had been able to attend this meeting and watch this farce.

Senator Hudak believes "Most of the Latinos who live in Adams County are in Sheridan corridor."
This is what our Senator had to say:

Official transcript of the August 9th redistricting meeting where Senator Hudak spoke: 
9:34 PM
Senator Evie Hudak talked about HD 25 and SD 19. She likes that Westminister is almost contiguous in SD 19. With regards the Adams County portion, it connects Westminster and Arvada. Most of the Latinos who live in Adams County are in Sheridan corridor. Old Town Arvada is very similar to communities on other side of Sheridan. It puts the new part of Arvada in with parts that are already in current SD 16 (proposed 35). She pointed out that school articulation areas are split among a lot of districts. With regards HD 29, it would make sense to wholly inclose it within SD 19.
