I am Guillermo Serna, candidate for city of Commerce City Ward III seat on the Commerce City, City Council. Commerce City has been my home since 1972, where my wife of 45 years, Raquel, and I raised our three children, all of whom attended school in Adams 14. My family includes my son Javier, daughter Melinda, and my oldest son Ernest, who died while serving in the military in 1985. Raquel and I have four beautiful grandchildren and two great grandchildren.During the last 35 years, I have served the community in a number of capacities. I am particularly passionate about education but throughout the years of my volunteerism, I have participated in all aspects of governmental entities. The breadth of my community participation includes the following activities:

In my life long service to the public I have humbly received a number of awards at the district, city and county levels. Most recently I received the Mary Ciancio Memorial Distinguished Service Award for my efforts as a volunteer in Adams County.

Dear Voter,
You will soon be voting in Commerce City to elect your City Council members for the next term, and I wanted to express my enthusiastic support for Guillermo Serna in Ward III.
In my experience, no one knows Commerce City better than Guillermo, and no one is more committed to improving lives of his neighbors. I have known, admired, and worked with Guillermo for many years, and I have learned a great deal from his personality. He is one of the first people I turn to with questions about what's happening in Adams County.
I was thrilled to see Guillermo honored recently with the Mary Ciancio Memorial Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his years of volunteerism and community service on behalf of children in Commerce City and Adams County. Luckily for all of us, Guillermo's desire to serve his community continues, and I hope you will elect him to the city council.
Sincerely,
Congressman Ed Perlmutter
Congratulations on your endorsement from the Congressman

GUILLERMO SERNA gets Perlmutter Support! DAMN!! I Love ED!

Dear Editor:
I would like to offer my endorsement for two candidates who are running for the Commerce City Council Municipal 2009 Election.
I fully support and endorse Jason McEldowney for the At-Large Council position. I have literally met hundreds of locally elected officials since I was elected to the statehouse in 2006. Mayors, school board members, council members from across this state and country. I can say with utmost confidence and seriousness that Jason McEldowney is among the brightest, most knowledgeable, and capable elected officials that now serve locally anywhere in this state. Jason has a tremendous feel on how the north range should grow, and how the core city can and should be revitalized. Councilman McEldowney has the right energy and temperament to bring positive and permanent change to all parts of Commerce City. It would not surprise me if Jason is our next Mayor, and if Jason so chooses, an Adams County Commissioner sooner rather than later. I strongly encourage the voters of Commerce City to consider sending Jason McEldowney back to the city council.
I also fully support Gulliermo Serna for the Ward III open seat where I live. Mr. Serna has been a foundation and pillar of the Commerce City community for decades. Mr. Serna cares about the future of our children, and was a key player in getting the Kids First ballot initiative passed. Mr. Serna would be a strongly needed voice on the council for the residents of Ward III, and he has a truly unique perspective having lived in the core city for so many years. Experience like Mr. Serna is rarely seen, and the council would be much better with him on it. I strongly encourage a vote for Mr. Serna.
Respectfully, State Representative Edward Casso
