Northglenn outlines Nov. 4 ballot deadlines as Ward 1–4 candidates present platforms

City Clerk Joanna Small told Northglenn residents that ballots for the city’s municipal election must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 4, and provided instructions for returning ballots and voter services.

“Postmarks do not count for the deadline,” City Clerk Joanna Small said, and she noted that at least one 24-hour drop box is located next to City Hall in the old recreation center parking lot just north of the Veterans Memorial. Voter service and polling centers open Oct. 27; those centers also allow residents to register to vote, request replacement ballots and use accessible voting machines. Clerk Small said Colorado allows voter registration up to and on Election Day and directed residents to GovoteColorado.gov for online registration.

The clerk’s announcement preceded recorded candidate statements from those seeking the four ward seats. Candidates described priorities ranging from environmental sustainability to public safety, fiscal restraint and business retention.

Madison Liddy, a candidate in Ward 1, said she wants a “future where our city grows stronger, greener, and more connected” and emphasized inclusion and local climate action. Incumbent Council member Nicholas Walker, also running in Ward 1, cited traffic enforcement and public-safety funding as accomplishments and said he would focus on expanding speed enforcement, supporting police staffing and transforming civic-center land into a downtown-style destination.

Joshua Sievers and Jordan Stransky are the Ward 2 candidates. Sievers emphasized “radical transparency, clear and honest communication” and described himself as a community member who will push for accountability. Stransky, who said she has worked in local schools for nearly two decades, called for “safer neighborhoods through real community policing” and urged smarter use of city resources rather than what she described as focusing on minor infractions.

Ward 3 candidates were listed by the clerk as Mark Bromley, Ryan (as listed in candidate remarks, Ryan Easterling Babin) and Rich Kondo. In his recorded remarks, Ryan Easterling Babin described himself as a co-chair of Northglenn’s Diversity, Inclusivity and Social Equity Board and said he would bring “a new voice for all of Northglenn.” Rich Kondo, who said he was appointed to a council seat in 2022 and later re-elected, cited experience with public safety, roads, water and youth recreation and noted service on regional boards.

In Ward 4, Anne Navaras (listed in recorded remarks as Anne Navaras) said her priorities include traffic safety, lowering rent and improving energy and water usage; incumbent Council member Jody Roper, who said she has served two years as the Ward 4 representative, listed budget, safety and business retention among top issues and said the city must prioritize infrastructure and public-safety staffing.

The statements provide voters a summary of each candidate’s priorities; no formal forum questions, votes or council actions were recorded in the remarks. City Clerk Small’s instructions included procedural details that affect how and where ballots can be returned and how to access voter services.

A roster of candidates for the four ward seats was provided by the clerk: Ward 1 — Madison Liddy and Nicholas Walker; Ward 2 — Joshua Sievers and Jordan Stransky; Ward 3 — Mark Bromley, Ryan Easterling (recorded as Ryan Easterling Babin) and Rich Kondo; Ward 4 — Anne Navaras and Jody Roper. Voters who have moved recently were urged to verify registration information before Election Day.
