Endorsments for Town Board

I endorse Chris Eshelman for Town Board Trustee. With his background and history of community involvement, he is a great choice for Estes Park. He will be a thoughtful, well-informed, and civil decision-maker for our community from day one.

The incumbents in the race have done a very good job and deserve our support for being willing to give another four years.

Of the remaining candidates, I know Randy Welch the best. Randy is a smart and caring person who would serve our community well.

I don’t know the other two candidates very well, but they appear to be very intelligent and committed to serving the Town in a positive way. Perhaps replacing one medical professional, Marie Cenac, with another, Jamie Mieras, would make sense.

Three retirees, three working business owners and local employers, and a medical professional would make for a nicely balanced board to represent the residents of Estes Park.

We are lucky to have so many great candidates willing to run for Trustee. Please do your part now and vote.

Trustee Cindy Younglund supports Kirby Hazelton for reelection

Please take a moment to read why I feel you should vote for Kirby Hazelton to continue to serve our community as a valuable Trustee. Kirby is a well-rounded, knowledgeable, and driven board member who has represented our citizens over the last 4 years with dedication, integrity, and passion. I might not have always agreed with Kirby‘s position on an issue, but I always found her respectful, and she articulated her position thoroughly. Re-Electing Kirby will bring much-needed continuity and stability to the Town Board. Having her depth of knowledge, experience, and vision will be paramount while navigating not only the code rewrite but other major decisions that will be forthcoming. I could always count on Kirby to attend the board meetings well prepared with helpful questions, comments and /or concerns. Kirby Hazelton has my full support for re-election to a second term of office. You may not see eye to eye with her voting record; however, you cannot deny the fact that she will approach each decision with much thought, research, and thorough questions before making her decision. I hope you, too, will vote Kirby Hazelton for reelection.

Cindy Younglund, Estes Park
