The Colorado Education Association (CEA) announced the election of its recommended candidates to school boards in several districts across Colorado following the 2025 general election. The organization said it will continue monitoring ongoing vote counts to ensure all ballots are tallied.
“Few elected positions matter as much to families and communities as school boards, which play a crucial role in setting the direction of public education in our state,” said Kevin Vick, an educator of more than 20 years and president of CEA. “We have already shown with this election cycle that when we come together and raise our voices on behalf of teachers, students, and families, we can elect school boards that will support strong, inclusive, public schools. I want to congratulate all of our CEA-recommended candidates on their success tonight and we will look forward to watching additional results come in over the course of the evening.”
According to CEA’s announcement, recommended candidates were successful in various districts including Brighton 27J (Ash Conn, Ramon Alvarado, Starr Trujillo), Thompson (Mike Scholl), Canon City (Carla Braddy, Todd Albrecht), Jefferson County (Peter Gibbins, Tina Moeinian), Mesa County Valley 51 (Kaci Cole, Vicky Woods), Widefield 3 (Michelle Hubbard, William “Wen” Dolphin), Cortez (Barb Mate), Adams 12 (Amira Assad Lucas, Ike Anyanwu-Ebo), Poudre R-1 (Andrew Spain, Dr. Coronda Ziegler, Karla Baise), Boulder Valley (Ana Temu-Otting), Cherry Creek (Mike Hamrick, Terry Bates), Aurora (Tramaine Duncan, Kristin Mallory, Gayla Cherrier, Dr. Anne Keke), St. Vrain Valley (Hadley Solomon), Summit County (Whitney Horner, Kimberly Dyer), West Garfield (Steven Beaulieu), Roaring Fork (Kathryn Kuhlenberg, Tammy Nimmo) and Steamboat Springs (Jane Toothaker, Kim Lemmer).
