Registered voters in Arapahoe County should have received voter information cards in the mail by now. The cards note the voter’s current congressional, legislative and county districts – as well as their election precincts, all of which may have changed recently due to redistricting.
Due to a computer misprint, Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty says voters should look only at the last digit in the four-digit number that indicates the county commissioner district.

Ethan Feldman
After weeks of speculation in political and legal circles, recently retired Arapahoe County Judge Ethan Feldman has confirmed that he will run for district attorney as a Democrat. Feldman, who stepped down from the bench last month, made the announcement with the launch of his campaign website on Jan. 13.
The candidate is so far the only hopeful to pursue the Democratic nomination while a crowded pool of Republicans competes to replace the term-limited incumbent Carol Chambers in the GOP-leaning 18th Judicial District.

Nancy Sharpe
Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, R-Greenwood Village, will chair the 2012 Board of Commissioners. Her colleagues unanimously elected her to the leadership position on Jan. 10.
“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to chair in 2012. I’m excited about the opportunities and challenges,” said Sharpe, who served as chair pro tem last year.
Sharpe expects economic development to be a focus in the coming year. She says she wants to continue cooperation with cities, economic-development organizations and chambers of commerce to attract quality jobs and ensure long-term financial stability for the county.
“Jobs in Arapahoe County are a No. 1 priority,” she said. “I want to make sure our regulations support business and that when we have a business that is relocating to Arapahoe County that we get them through the process really quickly and efficiently. We don’t have the ability to have a lot of incentives so we have to make sure that our processes are clear and well defined.”
