I am the daughter of a Black Veteran and Russian Immigrant. In 1975, my parents came to Aurora, working hard and sacrificing to build a better life for their five kids. Aurora made their dream a reality, and I want to make sure that same opportunity is available for families today and for future generations.
I’ve worked in Aurora since I was 16, in customer service, higher education, and social services. I hold a Masters of Social Work and Bachelors in Psychology and English from the University of Denver. I’m a lifelong Aurora resident, social worker, homeowner, and a mother—both foster and biological.- This work requires leadership that listens, but opportunity doesn’t just happen—it requires leadership that listens, responds, and puts community first. That’s the kind of leadership I will bring to the City Council. I’ve spent my career fighting for families, advocating for youth, expanding mental health resources, and ensuring that people have access to the support they need. I’ve served on Aurora’s Charter Review Board, attended ward meetings, completed civic leadership training, and am serving on a committee to redistrict the East Colfax Corridor. I know how to bring people together and move our city forward.
- My job is to listen and amplify your voice to ensure city hall works for you. I believe that the people of Aurora know what’s best for their neighborhoods, their businesses, and their families. My job is to listen, amplify your voices, and ensure City Hall works for you. That’s why I’m running on a Community First platform—because our policies should be shaped by the people who live, work, and raise their families here. Aurora shaped who I am, and I’m ready to fight for an Aurora that works for everyone. I will meet you where you are—at community events, in our neighborhoods, and in every space where decisions about our future are being made. Your voice matters. Our community matters.
- Keep immigrant families safe and welcome in Aurora Aurora is home to more than 83,000 immigrants—21% of the population. As the daughter of an immigrant, Alli will ensure City Hall supports immigrant families and keeps them safe. Todos son bienvenidos en Aurora. Protect city workers with fair pay and safe workplaces Aurora’s city workers keep the city running. Alli will push for: Fair wages, Safe Workplaces, The right to unionize. Strong unions mean strong families, and Alli will support pro-worker city contracts. Ban fracking and protect clean air and water. Fracking puts Aurora’s health at risk. Alli will: Ban fracking in Aurora’s backyard, Create a community-led Environmental Commission, Use data to guide stronger protections
Family Matters – Growing up in Aurora and attending Aurora Public Schools, I saw firsthand how social services can help families thrive. Our youth are our future, our families deserve stronger social networks and it’s our responsibility to invest in their success.
I also look towards the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement such as Martin Luther King Jr., Marsha P Johnson, Audre Lorde, and Fred Hampton. They always pushed for a better society that served everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
They also must regulate and oversee the city services that are tasked to serve their constituents, such as police, parks and rec, and emergency services. They must make sure that the tax money collected from our constituents is spent equitably and smartly.
I have been endorsed by sitting councilmembers Allison Coombs, Crystal Murillo, and Ruben Medina. I have also been endorsed by Mike Weissman, Eliza Hamrick, Jamie Jackson and other elected officials in Colorado.
