John Voelz is running for reelection to Westminster City Council. With him, he brings 30 years of experience in the public sector and public affairs. Voelz survived a misguided recall attempt last summer from local right-wing zealots upset with higher water utility bills. However, the vote to increase water prices in a tiered-system happened in 2018, before Voelz ever joined city council. The voters of Westminster saw through the recall shenanigans and voted to keep him in office.
One of his top priorities is expanding and maintaining the city’s open space and parks, which is crucial in attracting new businesses and economic activity. Voelz is committed to setting up the city for a sustainable future and wants to upgrade much needed transportation, water, and sewer infrastructure. Councilman Voelz has shown resilience and deserves to continue his work and is a solid progressive choice.John Voelz is running for reelection to Westminster City Council.

Anita Seitz
Anita Seitz is running for Mayor of Westminster. Seitz currently holds the position after previous mayor Herb Atchison resigned earlier in 2021. She was first elected to City Council in 2013 and served as Mayor Protem from 2018 to May of this year. Seitz brings clear headed leadership to the role of mayor and addresses difficult city challenges with grace, confidence, and a forward looking vision. Seitz is a committed climate activist, previously serving as president for Colorado Communities for Climate Action and led Westminster to adopt environmentally conscious ordinances and policies. Her climate work garnered her national recognition as a leader on addressing issues related to climate change at the local municipal level. As Westminster and the northern Front Range grows in population and size, Seitz has a vision for economic and communal development that includes equity, sustainable growth, and increased quality of life.
Challenging Seitz is Nancy McNally. McNally is a former Westminster mayor and owner of the embroidery/crafting store, “Made and Created.” McNally’s campaign website lacks an “issues” section, but her social media presence makes clear that one of her main priorities is lowering water rates. McNally’s attitude is one that ignores the realities of climate change and dwindling water use in favor of empowering home owners to over-water their thirsty, Kentucky bluegrass lawns. While McNally brings extensive executive experience, her vision for the city does not match its future needs.
Seitz has the experience, leadership, and sustainable vision for the city of Westminster. She deserves your vote.
