I am honored to share the heartfelt endorsement of my friend, council representative, and Transportation Advisory Board liaison, Shiquita Yarbrough.
Shiquita’s words mean the world to me, not just because of her leadership as an At-Large Representative, but because of the genuine partnership we’ve built working side by side on complex issues affecting Longmont. Her support is a testament to the collaborative values we share and the vision we both hold for Longmont’s future.
Here’s what Shiquita had to say:
**“I am proud to endorse Alex Kalkhofer for Longmont City Council. As a fellow member of the Transportation Advisory Board, I have seen firsthand Alex’s dedication to practical, forward-thinking solutions that benefit all Longmont residents. He brings thoughtful ideas to every discussion, always seeking ways to improve our city’s transportation systems and ensure safer, more accessible streets for everyone.
Alex’s commitment to Longmont goes well beyond transportation. His family has called Longmont home since 2008, raising their two children here and investing deeply in our community. As Chair of the Community Action Program Board and an active advocate for affordable housing, Alex has consistently championed policies that make Longmont a more inclusive and supportive place for families of all backgrounds.
What sets Alex apart is his genuine care for empowering women and supporting families. He understands that a strong community uplifts everyone, and he works to ensure that opportunities are accessible—especially for women and underrepresented groups. His vision for Longmont is one where growth is balanced with community needs, and where every resident feels heard and valued.
Alex’s collaborative spirit, experience, and unwavering commitment to equity make him the right choice for City Council. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy.”*
