Boulder County Commissioner District 3: Stolzmann cruises

Nov. 8—Louisville Mayor Ashley Stolzmann will serve as the next Boulder County Commissioner representing District 3.

Shortly after 7 p.m. Stolzmann, a Democrat, had 65,045, or about 81.5% of the total ballots counted so far, according to Boulder County Elections.

Libertarian Bo Shaffer, the only candidate to run against Stolzmann in the general election, had 14,764 votes, or roughly 18.5% of the votes processed.

During the June 28 primary, Stolzmann narrowly defeated Elaina Shively to become the Democratic Party's nominee.

Current District 3 Boulder County Commissioner Matt Jones, who Stolzmann will replace, announced earlier this year that he would not seek reelection in November.

Other county offices were settled in races that were anything but, as candidates were Democrats, running unopposed.

The new Boulder County sheriff will be Curtis Johnson, with 66,708 votes, as of 8 p.m. He will be the first new sheriff for the county in 20 years, as Joe Pelle was term limited after 20 years on the job.

Boulder County Treasurer Paul Weissmann secured his third four-year term, landing 66,981 votes

Boulder County Assessor Cynthia Braddock, yet another unopposed Democrat, checked in with 66,463 votes

Finally Democrat Emma Hall was returned to another term in the position she has held since January 2011, with 66,22
