Carrie Warren-Gully has earned the right to a second four-year term as Arapahoe County Commissioner District One. Current board chair, she has also served on the budget committee and held dozens of town halls to get input from her constituents. Carrie works hard and gets along well with everyone she encounters. She is focused on her community and its future, including the environment and the needs of senior citizens, soon to be the county’s largest demographic. Groups from Aurora Firefighters to Colorado Construction & Building Trades Council to Conservation Colorado have endorsed her. This newspaper does, as well.
Jeff Baker has earned the respect and admiration of his partners in the eight years he has served as Arapahoe County Commissioner District Three. A military veteran who was deployed in support of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and former CSI supervisor for the Aurora Police Department, Jeff worked for Arapahoe County for 18 years before being elected. During his tenure as a county commissioner, Jeff, has become a recognized expert in the field of oil and gas development and production in eastern Arapahoe County. He also served as chair of the BOCC in 2018 and 2019. It would be hard to find someone who knows more about the county than Jeff Baker. He deserves a third term.
Rhonda Fields brings vast experience as a community leader to her campaign to become Arapahoe County Commissioner District Five, having served six years in the state House and seven years in the state Senate, where she was highly respected for her work ethic and dedication to her community. As a commissioner, Rhonda has named public safety, advocating for an aging population, making sure our veterans and our youth receive the services they need, and strategic economic development as priorities she will pursue. A proven leader, we believe Rhonda Fields will be a strong addition to the Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners.
