Alice Madden endorses Erin Hottenstein for Fort Collins City Council District 4
I was impressed with Erin’s enthusiasm for helping women run for office, and her ability to organize events and bring people together. I have seen her tireless efforts via Colorado 50-50 to provide election information and encourage voter turnout. 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.

I believe your best choice is Erin Hottenstein. She ranks first in relevant experience. She is detail oriented and logical, ready to consider alternatives to her own opinions, and

Diligent. I think she will be outstanding.

Erin has been such a strong part of our community. She is smart and clever, fair and just, capable and commendable. She is an asset to every group she works with.
Abigale Grace
District 4 Resident
Erin is the best choice because she is a proven leader, has experience covering city governments, she is bright, articulate, a good listener and does her homework. She knows when to listen and is a team player.
Brian Woodruff
District 4 Resident
I highly recommend Erin Hottenstein for FC City Council. From what I have observed, she educates herself, shares what she has learned, connects people, and is very level-headed. I know she would make a good Councilor.
Kathi Wright
Loveland City Council Member, Ward 2

She has excellent problem solving skills and importantly, is a critical thinker. She understands the need to obtain all the information needed, and to listen to all stakeholder voices before moving forward with potential solutions. Her experience with all levels of government through investigating stories, interviewing individuals and businesses, studying policies and their effects, has given her a wealth of knowledge to be a valuable member of city council. As a small business owner, she will bring an important perspective to council discussions. Her passion to address affordable housing, economic recovery from the pandemic and equity issues across the region demonstrate that she would take a holistic approach to solving any issue that may come before council.

Erin is committed to issues surrounding my fellow students at CSU as well as the students from Front Range Community College. She has provided many opportunities for college students to gain involvement in the political process through her organization. Erin has a strong commitment to the community of Fort Collins and its continued success.
Ellie Gerstner
CSU Student, Member of Colorado 50-50
Erin and her family have been our next door neighbors for 20 years. We have always had positive, warm, and comfortable interactions with Erin over the years. Whether it had to do with snow shoveling, Fall leaves pick up, arranging babysitting or dog sitting jobs, our discussions have always been friendly with Erin's "can do", willingness to help approach. In neighborhood social settings, conversations are interesting, informative and fun. We feel very confident that Erin would be an effective leader as a City Council member and represent our District 4 interests.
Paul and Susan Laybourn
District 4 Residents
Joe Hendrickson

As a trainer and coach in the area of leadership and managing change, Erin understands the importance of courage and responsibility in making difficult decisions. In my former role as a district central office administrator for the Poudre School District, I understand the challenges that City Council faces when dealing with issues that emotional to those impacted. Balancing the wishes of a variety of constituencies with doing the right thing can be difficult. I believe Erin is very capable of making those decisions by learning the facts, considering the alternatives, and understanding the potential impacts.

Susmita Saha

Erin Hottenstein is a leader and role model for numerous women such as myself. She is the founder of Colorado 50-50 which is a non-profit dedicated to encouraging more women to run. I met her through the Colorado 50-50 Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) committee. The fact that she cares about the underrepresented group AAPI in a politically elected position speaks volume about her character. The character that she is open minded and willing to learn patiently. The character that is dedicated to her own community. And lastly, she is a leader that leads.

I see her as an excellent listener to all points of view and think she would work hard to find consensus solutions that balance various needs.
