Jennifer Carroll
Mayor 2018-2022
Trustee 2014-2018
"Andrew is an outcomes-driven leader, with the unique ability to welcome all voices into the conversation. Andrew always takes the long-term view, unencumbered by rigid political ideology, because he cares so deeply about making Erie exceptional for his family, his children and his community. Andrew is the best candidate to be Erie’s next Mayor and he has my full support."
Tina Harris
Mayor 2014-2018
Trustee 2006-2014
"It is of utmost importance in the 2024 election that Erie residents vote for the candidate that best represents their community values. In this mayoral election that person is Andrew Moore. It is my privilege to tell you the inside story about my colleague who became my friend. I met Andrew in 2006 when I was elected to the Board of Trustees and he was elected for his second term as Mayor. In my four years as Trustee, I witnessed and learned from Andrew’s experience, leadership, and commitment to our town. Furthermore, in the twenty-six years I’ve lived in Erie, no mayor has been better at visioning and maintaining Erie’s character while managing its growth than Andrew. He is a long-term thinker who manages fiscal responsibility, and advocates for the interests of citizens and the projects we all want to see in Erie. As a former Mayor of Erie myself, I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Moore as the best mayoral candidate in this election."
Joe Wilson
Mayor 2010-2014
"When I was elected Mayor, I was fortunate that Mayor Moore left our town in "ship shape", both operationally and economically. With $15M unencumbered for economic development, we were able to attract $4 billion of investment in Erie, which is still paying dividends today.
He is just the right candidate to be the next Mayor of Erie"
Cheryl Hauger
Trustee, 2006-2010
Mayor ProTem 2010-2012
"It was a distinct privilege to serve on the Erie Board of Trustees from 2006-2012. Serving along side Andrew the first four of those years proved what could be accomplished when you had a leader that strove to provide collaboration
and inclusiveness of diverse viewpoints. While we may not have always agreed on every issue, there was never a time when serving with Andrew that I ever felt unheard or disrespected. Andrew will always strive to make Erie an exceptional place to live and has my full support and wholehearted endorsement as Erie's next Mayor."
Mark Gruber
Trustee 2010-2014
Mayor ProTem 2014-2018
"As an executive administrator for a series of large organizations Andrew Moore possesses the expertise to tame Erie governments’ burgeoning bureaucracy and senseless spending. Andrew Moore recognizes and will reverse the trend of the previous half dozen years that have witnessed our local governments’ evolution from providing for the general welfare to its current fixation with serving narrow-minded special interests. As a former two terms Erie Trustee it is for these reasons that I am endorsing Andrew Moore to be Erie’s next Mayor."
Glenn Massarotti
Trustee 2005-2010
Mayor Pro Tem 2006-2010
"Erie needs a Mayor like Andrew now more than ever. Our current leadership has left Erie in a dangerous fiscal position. I was proud to serve on a board with Andrew where we consistently put money aside for future financial stability. We’ve seen that reserve erode over the past several years as the current board has bowed to special interests, and without transparency to citizens.
One of Andrew’s great strengths is his willingness to sit down with people of opposing views to discuss issues and make decisions that are right for all of Erie, not just a chosen few. This proven record is why I endorse Andrew Moore for Mayor without reservation."
Ronda Grassi
Trustee 2010-2014
Mayor Pro Tem 2012-2014
"Erie needs to be prepared as we head into the future. We can lead best when we are fiscally responsible.
Andrew Moore has a proven track record of understanding our Town finances and spending accordingly, while still investing in economic development and Town priorities that are community driven.
It’s not about politics, it’s about Erie. He is the right person to be Mayor right now."
Brandon M. Bell
Councilor (2020-present)
"Andrew Moore is exactly the leader Erie needs at this critical time. I served on the board during the pandemic, where we worked diligently to safeguard the Town's financial stability. Unfortunately, much of that progress has been undone in the past two years. We've witnessed a significant increase in staffing and unfunded capital projects, leading to growing deficits. It’s crucial that Erie pivots away from reckless spending and a Council that prioritizes national politics and personal agendas over the Town’s long-term well-being.
I am confident that Andrew Moore is the right candidate to move Erie forward. He successfully led the Town through the Great Recession and had the foresight to establish the Recreation Center and secure critical water rights—decisions that have been instrumental in our growth. The fact that nearly every former mayor from the past 20 years has endorsed Andrew speaks to his proven leadership.
We must return to an era of fiscal responsibility while preserving Erie’s unique character and quality of life. I am proud to endorse Andrew Moore for Mayor and encourage you to join me in voting for him."
Candance Whitehouse
Charter Commission
"As a former Home Rule Charter Commissioner, I am proud to endorse Andrew Moore for Mayor of Erie. Andrew deeply understands the needs of our town, having served as a former mayor and brought valuable experience from his work with the Boulder Valley School District and various non-profits. His leadership has always been grounded in a commitment to Erie's growth and community values. Andrew is not only highly intelligent, but also approachable and genuinely listens to residents, making him an ideal leader for our future. He possesses a unique understanding of Erie's past, present, and future, ensuring that every decision is thoughtfully considered for the benefit of our town. I’m confident Andrew will lead Erie with vision, integrity, and compassion."
Scott Charles
Trustee 2014-2020
"Andrew has the experience and thoughtfulness needed to move Erie forward. There is no question that he has what it takes to provide Erie with smart, collaborative governance. I unequivocally support him to be Erie’s next Mayor."
Erie Residents
Bill Hoferer
"I worked with Andrew for a total of 20 years in both the private and public sectors. He consistently demonstrated a number of impressive leadership traits:
- an ability to juggle multiple high pressure, high visibility projects
- unwavering focus on results
- technical savvy combined with a keen awareness of the numerous internal and external factors that can influence an organization's direction
- a way of motivating project teams to deliver high quality results on time and on budget
As an Erie resident, I was excited to hear he is running for mayor. Erie needs his leadership NOW."
Bruce Messinger, Ph.D.
Former Superintendent
Boulder Valley School District
"I worked with Andrew for six years in the Boulder Valley School District. Andrew consistently demonstrated his commitment to high quality service to students, staff and parents. Andrew tackled complex problems searching for creative and innovative solutions. As a member of the administration Andrew worked in a collaborative manner to reach consensus on a wide variety of issues. Andrew enjoys my full support to serve as the next Mayor of Erie. "
Cliff Zwart
“I fully support Andrew Moore for Mayor. I have seen firsthand his passion for fighting for maintaining a small town feel while Erie continues to grow, balancing actively-managed development planning with consideration of current residents’ impacts. Andrew’s problem-solving skills, business acumen, financial acuity, and dedication to hearing the community’s collaborative voice with a non-partisan ear is what Erie needs in its defining next chapter. Please join me in supporting Andrew in his campaign for the next Mayor of Erie.”
Beth Mateyka
“I met Andrew Moore 25 years ago when we moved into our Erie neighborhood. He is a proven leader who will grow our town of Erie with prudence, transparency, and fiscal responsibility. I first saw these qualities when he was our HOA’s president, then mayor and again most recently when he joined his fellow neighbors in convincing the town to choose citizen concerns over a planned development. I believe Andrew will restore citizen driven input that will give voice to how we want to see Erie grow without a political agenda."
Dennis Flaherty
Canyon Creek South II HOA
"Your board wasn't political, left or right. Instead you put the people first and gave us a transparent and efficient government."
Alex Schatz
President Arapahoe Ridge HOA Board
"Having come to know Andrew in my role on the Arapahoe Ridge neighborhood HOA board, I support Andrew Moore for mayor. Returning to our board recently after serving as its initial president, Andrew jumped in and immediately helped evaluate and update our financial planning and security systems. He is tenacious, policy-minded, and results-oriented. Andrew promises to bring needed leadership to Erie on the issues most critical to our community."
Trish Handy
"You were a great Mayor back then and will be a great mayor for Erie this time around."
John Mountain
"During the 11 years I lived in Erie, as mayor, Andrew showed how much he cares about the community through proactive, productive, professional leadership and a clear vision to execute on opportunities immediately. A great example would be his forward-thinking project to complete the first segment of the Erie trail, which included two new bridges in 2010, an incredibly forward thinking move, long ahead of 2013's 1000-year flood."
Tim Scherr
Engineering Professor at University of Colorado
"I have observed Andrew Moore's service to our community for over 20 years, as he has served as President of our HOA and Mayor of the town multiple times. You will not find someone more dedicated to our community than he is. Andrew is a remarkable leader, great at problem solving and building consensus. He is extremely intelligent, tech-savy and excels at organization and communication. His performance as Mayor before was exemplary, and we need him know in this position more than ever. Please vote for Andrew Moore for Mayor."
John Davie
“As a longtime Erie resident, my family and I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Moore for Erie Mayor. I’ve known Mr Moore and his family for many years and can confidently say that he has Erie’s best interests at heart. He has a proven track record of success being a former Mayor of the town. He did a fantastic job in the past and there’s no doubt in my mind he will be even better this time around! Moore For Erie!!"
Brad Beck
"You get Moore with Andrew. Moore common sense. Moore economic growth. Moore accountability. That’s why I am voting for Andrew Moore for The Mayor of Erie."
Tim Liston
"As a 20 year long homeowner in Erie I've seen the good times and now the bad times with current Town Staff. I believe Andrew Moore has the past experience as former Mayor vision and character to maximize Erie's potential for current and future residents."
