Together, we can return the focus of Westminster city government to supporting our safe, family friendly, owner-occupied suburb. From 2014 until the present, City Council approved over 4,000 mostly rental market, multi-family units while allowing just over 1,100 mostly owner-occupant units. This tidal-wave of rental units has had a profoundly negative effect. The increased demands for services has hurt existing neighborhoods and diminished the quality of lofe for everyone.

They will own nothing

The City changing the Comprehensive Plan to allow, and in some cases subsidizing, apartment building is destructive. Over last decade the City has allowed about 4,000 rental apartment units to be built. It has made our city crowded and made corporate owners lots of money. The vast majority of renters are losing economic ground. They are caught in a financial trap that drains their menoey while inflation puts buying a house out of reach. They are denied the financial roots and the chance to call Westminster home.

Westminster roads and parks and all of our infrastructure was designed to be a low density, owner-occupied, suburban city. Crowding more people into Westminster only creates problems.

A Beautiful Suburb

Westminster's heart and soul is found in our safe, quiet, beautiful, owner occupied suburbs. Our suburbs are only housing that can ever be affordable. Enduring suburbs are the foundation of community and sustainability.

Suburbs are the most meaningful tool to build a Future where people have political equality and financial independence.

Stop Rotten Deals

How could Council think spending $3.5 million dollars to build a bar was a good idea? How does exempting a favored developer from $4.6 million dollars of fees that everyone else must pay, is fair or in any way helps all of Westminster? How does giving nearly free rent in a city owned building to a very successful, very rich business help all the residents of Westminster?

These acts by the current City Council, and many more are the result of a foolish and wasteful council that is a rubber stamp for the ideas and dreams of the paid staff.

This foolishness and abuse of public money must stop.

While the errors that past councils have made cannot be undone, we can make better decisions for the Future.

Who is Bruce Baker?

A person having courage, honesty, tenacity with the vision to lead Westminster

Bruce Baker knows that election to public office is a commitment to public service. Good public service requires hard work by smart, hard-nosed people to protect the public assets. Previous Councils avoided the hard conversations that are the "hammer and anvil" by which good government is forged. Previous councils' fear of conflict and their foolishness was used to swindle the people of Westminster out of millions of dollars.

Baker has been involved for 12 years in the conversation to find ways to better serve the people of Westminster. He has the courage to oppose the errors the City has made: the unneeded water plant; the failed New Downtown; the corrupt financial deals that enrich insiders.
