Westminster City Council 2021
Step One - Recall Jon Voelz
Step One - Recall Jon Voelz
I am NOT running to replace Jon Voelz. I am running in the November, General Election. Kathleen Dodaro is running to replace Jon Voelz. It is vital to replace Voelz with Kathleen. Please, please vote to recall Jon Voelz.
I am very proud to be a part of the legal effort with the Westminster Water Warriors that achieved the victory in District Court to force the Westminster City Clerk to count the Recall Petition signatures. The Judge quickly disposed of the Clerk's flimsy, ridiculous excuses. He told her she had erred and ordered her to count the signatures. The sufficient number of signatures have forced the City to have the Recall Election.

I had hoped for lower water rates by late Summer, but with a late July election, that can't happen. Council can lower the rates as soon as Voelz is replaced. We must assure all homeowners we can restore our beautiful landscapes. We must cast our ballots in the Recall Election.
I have a great sadness that there had to be a Recall/ Special Election. Anyone of the four, Atchison, Seitz, Skulley or Voelz could have lowered the water rates. Back in June of 2020, DeMott, Seymour and Smith asked, pleaded, implored anyone of the four to join in, make a majority of council, and lower the rates. They each, as individuals, had that power, but refused. Even today, at this late hour, Jon Voelz has the power to lower the water rates. Why won't he do that? Is he completely deaf?
Now is the time for all the voters of Westminster to act. The results of the Recall Election are not a guarantee. The supporters of the current council will not quietly go away. They are fighting. They have no shame in hurting Westminster residents by making false claims. They have no shame in drying-out our homes, neighborhoods and City. They had no shame in their attempt to cheat us of our rightly earned Recall Election. They do not want to lose the easy, well paying jobs they have. We must vote to get them out.

To have an attractive City we need attractive neighborhoods. Attractive neighborhoods need affordable water so all homeowners can keep their landscape nice. Westminster water prices are unnecessary and outrageous! A stark difference will become crushingly apparent between different neighborhoods in Westminster if we don't have affordable water. This is not right. Westminster must be a place where all our citizens can afford to carry their share of the beauty of the neighborhood.
Denver's highest water rate is $5.74. Fort Collins highest water rate is $3.75. Broomfield sells water for $3.36 per thousand, as much as you need. The highest water rate in Westminster is all water over 20kgal at @$12.88 per kgal. The current Council has misled Westminster. Change the Council!
I FOUGHT for lower water rates in 2018.
I CAMPAIGNED for lower water rates in 2019.
I PETITIONED for lower water rates in 2020.
I HELPED in the District Court Case to honor the petition signatures in 2021.
I NEED your help and your vote to be ELECTED to council 2021.
We will SET lower waters rates in 2021 when we have the majority in Council.

Westminster should have water at no more Six Dollars per thousand gallons!
- I have the tenacity, determination and passion that we must have in Westminster City Council members. Westminster needs me on Council!
