Joshua Sievers, Marine veteran, outlines candidacy for Northglenn Ward 2

Joshua Sievers, a candidate for Ward 2 on the Northglenn City Council, described his background and priorities in remarks recorded in the meeting transcript ahead of the Nov. 4 municipal election.

Sievers said he served in combat zones as a United States Marine and cited that experience while framing his platform. “Radical transparency, clear and honest communication, and my word being as good as gold, that matters,” Sievers said. He added that he intends to “use critical thinking, facts, and have the courage to ask questions, push back on flawed proposals, and do research that's necessary.”

Sievers said he grew up in a working-class family and emphasized a theme of personal responsibility and service. “When we ask for an increase in taxes and increase the financial burden on people, my promise is to you that we will have done all that we can to cut the waste and make the current dollar stretch as far as humanly possible,” he said.

He framed his candidacy as a response to local challenges and described himself as a community member rather than a career politician, saying he wants to “be one of the reasons why people have faith in government.” The remarks recorded in the transcript were brief and limited to general priorities rather than detailed policy proposals.

The transcript contains no formal motion, vote or policy action tied to Sievers’s remarks; they were statements of candidacy and priorities recorded in the meeting record.

Sievers’s remarks highlighted personal biography and broad priorities; he did not present a detailed platform or specific ordinance language in the recorded remarks.
