Background info on Littleton City Council candidates (2025 election)
This year's Littleton election features candidates aligned with divisive MAGA politics, supported by well-funded special interest groups and deep-pocketed donors. These candidates have opposed critical community resources, environmental protections, and have even been implicated in unethical behavior, including election tampering. This is not the leadership Littleton needs. Wondering who to vote FOR? See the LVE Voter Guide →
