Aurora, CO – Alli Jackson, a dedicated social worker, mother, and lifelong advocate, has officially announced her candidacy for Aurora City Council At-Large. Running on a “Community First” platform, Jackson is committed to ensuring that Aurora’s growth benefits all residents—not just big corporations or special interests.
"Aurora changed my family’s life, and I’m running to protect that legacy and build a brighter future for our city," said Jackson. "I’ve seen new development bring opportunity, but I’ve also watched too many neighbors struggle to afford living here. We need leadership that puts people first, listens to our community, and ensures that Aurora remains a place where families, workers, and small businesses can thrive."

Jackson’s campaign is centered on economic growth, family support, and community wellness, with policies focused on:
Economic Growth for All – Expanding small business grants, creating job pipelines from schools to high-paying careers, and fighting price gouging that drives up the cost of living.
Family Matters – Advocating for affordable childcare, expanding after-school and recreational programs, and ensuring families have access to mental health and social services.
Community Wellness – Strengthening relationships between social services and the city, increasing funding for affordable housing, and protecting Aurora’s natural spaces.
A Deep Commitment to Aurora
Jackson’s roots in Aurora run deep. The daughter of a Black veteran and a Russian immigrant, she grew up attending Aurora Public Schools and working in the community from the age of 16. Her experience spans customer service, higher education, and social services, giving her a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities residents face.
As a social worker, homeowner, and both a biological and foster mom, Jackson has dedicated her career to fighting for families and youth. She has served on Aurora’s Charter Review Board, participated in civic leadership training, and attended ward meetings, proving her commitment to local government and community engagement.
A Campaign Focused on the People
Jackson promises to be a visible, accessible, and engaged leader. "I will meet the community where they are—not just in city council chambers, but in our neighborhoods, schools, and small businesses," she said. "Aurora’s diversity is our strength, and I will fight for policies that reflect the needs of all our residents, not just the powerful few."
Running for an At-Large seat, Jackson will represent all of Aurora and invites community members to join the movement and share their voices on what Aurora needs to thrive.
