Leadership.
Communication.
Trust.

Erin is a convener, an innovator, and a true public servant. In my years as a Colorado legislator and House Majority Leader, I saw many candidates. Erin is highly qualified and I am happy to endorse her for the vacancy on the Fort Collins City Council. Perhaps most importantly, she will approach the job with humility and the understanding that it is truly a privilege to serve.

My wife and I support Erin because of the many ways she has demonstrated her leadership and her longtime dedication to making northern Colorado a better community.

Erin will be a great asset to the council and the city. She's solid, grounded in the community, works well with others, and will contribute to the discussions on policy issues that are important to our community.

Your best choice is Erin Hottenstein. She ranks first in relevant experience. I have known Erin for many years and admired her involvement and leadership in many important community organizations. She is energetic, focused, and personable, and she has my enthusiastic support.

Bringing Women's Voices to the Table

Erin Hottenstein is the founder of Colorado 50-50, a non-partisan group that encourages women to serve on boards, commissions, and in elected office. Elected women officials have shared their experiences and encouraged women to get on a path to leadership.

More than 600 people have attended the programs, including many from underrepresented groups, over the last four years. Their daily presence on social media helped to get out the vote in the last several elections.

Get Involved

Her wealth of experience covering all levels of government as a journalist, her drive to bring gender parity to elected positions throughout the state, which led her to start Colorado 50-50, her willingness to really listen and work for her constituents, and her experience running a family-owned small business make Erin a strong candidate.

Join Team Hottenstein and help bring Erin’s leadership to Fort Collins City Council.
