<p>Several months ago I started getting tele-townhall calls from my RTD representative or director (whatever the title is). Recently I must have signed up for something to get a weekly announcement for closures due to construction of the light rail along I-225. The following is at the end of the e-mails, so please sign up for information if you live in or travel through the area of I-225.<br></br><br></br><font>"Encourage your neighbors and co-workers to …</font></p>

<p>While I am still looking for a list of the <strong>RTD candidates</strong>, <strong>John Andrews</strong> has offered his "<strong>Backbone America</strong>" recommendations for some of the candidates and other ballot questions. </p>

<p>For those who are not familiar with <strong>John Andrews</strong>, the biographical summary at <strong>Colorado Christian University</strong> offers some insight. He has been instrumental in organizing the three Western Conservative Summits that have been held in metro Denver (2010, 2011, and 2012). He is the author of a book "<strong>Responsibility Reborn</strong>:..." that may be helpful.</p>

<p>One additional person who I have met is <strong>Vince Chowdry</strong> who is concerned that Aurora does not have any representation on the RTD board. Mr. Chowdry voiced other issues that would be of interest to <strong>Aurora citizens</strong> when I met him a month or so ago. In my opinion, Mr. Chowdry is certainly worth serious consideration for the position in that district but I do not remember which one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From District H candidates, I have talked with Kenny Mihalik via telephone. Mr. Mihalik sounds like a very concerned yet enthusiastic candidate. Hopefully, he will be able to introduce himself at a meeting in the near future (if we ever find a venue).</p>
