Golden City Council Candidates / Candidatos
Golden's City Council acts as the governing body that shapes the direction, policies, and administration of the City. There are seven members of City Council:
Mayor, who is elected at large for a 4-year term
2 members elected from Districts for 4-year terms
4 members elected from Wards for 4-year terms (Elections November 2025)
This November, all four Ward seats on Golden’s City Council will be up for election, meaning a majority of the City Council will be chosen. Municipal elections in Colorado are nonpartisan, so candidates do not run with party affiliations.

Ballot Measures
Proposiciones en la boleta
The state legislature referred two state statute measures to the 2025 ballot concerning funding for the Healthy School Meals for All Program (see HB25-1274). During the 2025 Special Session, the state legislature passed SB25B-003 that modified one of the measures for the November ballot.
Golden United recommends:
Vote YES on Propositions LL and MM
for Healthy School Meals for All
Proposition LL: Retain and Spend State Revenue Exceeding the Estimate for Proposition FF
Proposition MM: Increase State Taxes for School Meals and Food Assistance Programs
