State political parties endorse Broomfield City Council candidates

Oct. 22—Broomfield's 12 City Council and mayoral candidates have all been endorsed by state political parties.

The Colorado Republican Party encouraged residents to vote for Kimberly Groom for mayor, Chriss Hammerschmidt for Ward 1 councilmember, Brent Hultman for Ward 2, Brian Peotter for Ward 3, Mindy Quiachon for Ward 4 and Grayson Hofferber for Ward 5.

"In Broomfield, you should see some of or all of these names on your ballot. Please vote FOR them and help us bring back measured, responsible leadership," an email from the Colorado GOP reads.

The Colorado Democratic Party in an email featured the six remaining Broomfield candidates: Guyleen Castriotta for mayor, James Marsh-Holschen for Ward 1, Austin Ward for Ward 2, Deven Shaff for Ward 3, Bruce Leslie for Ward 4 and Todd Cohen for Ward 5.

"Like the late, great Democratic speaker of the house Tip O'Neill famously said, 'All Politics is Local,'" the Democratic Party's email states. "We couldn't agree more — down ballot races are often where the most local and impactful offices are elected, and we want you to be aware of which Democrats are running for your local races!"
