AURORA | There are two candidates vying for the Ward III Aurora City Council seat, one an incumbent and the other a former council member looking to return.

Ward III, encompassing west Aurora, includes many older neighborhoods and most of the Havana corridor.

Democratic incumbent Ruben Medina is running for reelection to a second term against Republican Marsha Berzins, a former city council member who previously was term-limited. Ward III encompasses much if the city’s western region.

A variety of issues are linked to the district, including the city’s approach to crime and immigration, particularly in light of the changes being implemented by the Trump Administration.

The Sentinel’s city council ward election report comes from reports of issues that make the city council dais and recent questions posed to candidates. Major issues include public safety, police reform, affordable housing and homelessness.

Aurora is currently under a consent decree imposed by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in 2021. It was the result of investigations into allegations of the Aurora Police Department’s excessive use of force and discriminatory practices, particularly against people of color. Triggered in part by the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who died at the hands of police and rescuers after being stopped, unarmed, the decree mandates broad reforms in training, accountability, use-of-force policies, data systems and community engagement.

This year, four people have died so far in police-involved shootings, and three were unarmed. Critics have concerns about whether the city is making changes to the police department quickly enough and whether the city should implement an independent police oversight structure, a long-standing issue that has regularly drawn resistance from police and police allies. 

Homelessness is also a compelling issue for many voters in Aurora, amid the city’s two-year-old camping ban, which was upheld by a Supreme Court decision last year. For about three years, the city has increasingly made the ban more restrictive. Although the city is not required to offer shelter for the homeless people, while ticketing homeless scofflaws, the city is about to open the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus. That center will offer a three-tier “work-first” approach to homelessness. Some shelter services will be available to anyone on a space-available basis. But transitional housing and some other services will be provided only to those who enter addiction programs and agree to work. The idea has been controversial because almost all national, credible studies point to the greatest short-term and long-term success for permanent housing and rehabilitation being linked to some variation of  “Housing First” policies. Candidates were asked whether they would keep the policies as they are or make changes.

Other questions concerned affordable housing and how candidates might utilize policy or their position as a city council member to create more affordable and workforce housing for groups of all income levels. 

Ward III – Two candidates for west-central Aurora

Ruben Medina

Ruben Medina, a Democrat, is a longtime Aurora resident and a project manager at the Foundation for Sustainable Urban Communities. Medina is the incumbent in Ward III, running for his second term. 

A Community organizer, a wrestling coach, a father of three and a former firefighter/EMT, Medina said he sees his priority as listening keenly to his community, representing them on the dais with his vote. 

Medina spent his last term building the city’s relationship with his diverse constituency. He is community-focused in both his work and his position on the city council. 

Medina said he plans to focus on building a safer Aurora, breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, especially among youth, and ensuring strong support for the elderly community, according to his campaign website. 

As a former firefighter and EMT, he said he understands the stress the officers are under. He thinks officers should be offered rotations for desk work, not as a form of punishment, but to help them manage the regular and sometimes intense trauma and avoid burnout the encounter during their duties. He said that when he was dealing with too many traumatic situations as an EMT, he would begin to look at individuals as numbers, not people. 

He said that this could be one solution to help officers decompress, avoid burnout and maintain empathy for the public. 

Ruben spoke a lot about looking through the lens of an officer, with empathy for what they have to deal with. Officers endure regular moments of trauma, and then they must move on to the next call with composure, he said.

Medina said he would support an independent oversight committee for the police department, and he stated that outside perspectives and community involvement would make a strong foundation for it. 

Regular bi-monthly meetings between the police and the community would foster open dialogue, address concerns, and help build relationships, which would also be a helpful way for the community to gain trust and respect for the police. He said it would have to be ongoing with all levels of officers, not just one-off events. 

Another suggestion Medina thought would be powerful was encouraging officers to engage with the community by “walking the beat” and participating in community events without uniforms or weapons holstered, which would also help garner respect and humanize officers, breaking barriers between the public and the police. 

He said he currently doesn’t see officers engage with the community outside of their uniforms. 

Medina’s approach to every part of his job in city council has been to listen first, find common ground to build trust on both sides, he said, which is often shown in his round table discussion style at his town halls and not always voting strictly on party line, but through what he thinks his constituents would want from him. 

He said that officers should speak regularly at public events instead of having the chief talk on their behalf. 

“When we peel it all back, we’re really just one and the same,” Medina said. “We’re just trying to figure it out.”

Medina’s approach to addressing homelessness focuses on what he calls dignity, individualized solutions and community involvement. He said he disagrees with policies that place unhoused individuals into specific programs or locations, especially when these may disconnect them from their communities or fail to address their unique needs, such as elderly individuals or those with mental health challenges.

The “work first” approach does not address all populations, Medina said, preferring the “housing first” approach. Forcing people into choices they don’t want adds unnecessary stress; instead, people should be asked about their needs and solutions. 

There are programs that build relationships and empower the unhoused to take charge of their own progress, Medina said, referring to groups such as a project called “The Illuminators,” where unhoused individuals lead the process. Solutions that are flexible, respect individual dignity and choice, and are rooted in genuine community engagement and support are the solutions Medina said she prefers to explore. 

When considering affordable housing, Medina said he would focus on a solution-oriented, creative and multifaceted approach that would also involve flexibility, community engagement, and a willingness to try innovative solutions to meet diverse housing needs.

Medina said he would advocate for exploring and expanding alternative housing models such as manufactured homes and container homes, which can be built more quickly and affordably than traditional housing. He also suggested experimenting with these models in specific geographic areas to assess their feasibility and community interest. Co-ops or special districts could be created to allow residents to own both the land and their homes, similar to HOAs, to foster stability and affordability. 

Revisiting past policies that can be improved, like those affecting condos and townhouses, rather than banning them outright due to previous issues, was another suggestion from Medina. 

Medina said there could be a state-level rent control to address rising housing costs, and he said tax breaks or incentives could be implemented to help seniors age in place. A combination of approaches would be most beneficial, as there is no single solution for housing, he said. This can include intergenerational living and partnerships with developers and the city to pilot new ideas.

Ruben Medina Q&A

Q: Why should Aurora voters choose you as their next representative?

I’m a father, former coach, and firefighter/EMT— I run toward problems, not away from them. In 2021, I promised to be a councilmember who listens, takes action, and gets results. I’ve kept that promise.

Since then, I’ve hosted more than 80 town halls, attended over 200 community events,  and responded to over 300 resident requests. From removing trees and installing speed bumps to helping with business permits and improving water standards, I’ve worked hard to get results that matter to the people of Ward 3. This is why leaders and organizations from across the political spectrum have donated to and endorsed my re-election campaign. I believe that whether you are young or old, Democrat or Republican, you are my constituent and neighbor. I give everyone my personal cell phone number, and everyone gets a response and a solution. 

I’m asking voters to re-elect me so we can protect the progress we’ve made and work together to face the challenges ahead. We don’t need leaders from the past. We don’t need more extremists on the council. We need a leader who puts people first, and I am that leader.  

What will be your top three legislative priorities if elected?

My top three legislative priorities are the economy, residents, and neighborhoods in Ward 3. 

First, I will grow Aurora’s economy by diversifying the city’s revenue. Currently, 75% of our budget relies on retail — that’s not sustainable. I am working on bringing a sports team and a multipurpose complex to Aurora, which will include housing, entertainment, and a cultural venue. This project will prioritize local, union, and small business participation, while creating jobs, attracting tourism, and easing the tax burden on residents. It will also provide a local venue for graduations and concerts — keeping more dollars in Aurora.

Second, I’ll prioritize residents across all generations. I plan to open Aurora’s first Youth Empowerment Center, providing a safe space with access to programs, mentors, and resources to help young people succeed. At the same time, Colorado has an aging population. I’m working to expand intergenerational programs that help older adults stay active and age with dignity in Aurora.

Third, I’ll continue focusing on keeping neighborhoods safe, clean, and affordable. I propose that 20% of the proceeds from the sports complex be reinvested in local communities and programs, allowing our neighborhoods to benefit from the city’s development. I’ll work to expand housing options while holding bad landlords and developers accountable. I’ll also keep the pressure on city agencies to respond to speeding and trash requests. 

These projects will make Aurora a thriving community for all residents. I will get them across the finish line, which is why I’m asking residents for their vote this November. 

Q: What critical issue in your ward would you champion as a city lawmaker?

From young people to parents and the elderly, mental health is an issue that constituents regularly bring up with me. This is why I’ve been intentional about sharing my mental health story. I want to destigmatize it and create more conversations, programs, and services around it. We sometimes think of mental health in terms of extreme cases, like clinical conditions or significant events like the recent high school shootings. But everyday stress and unhealthy environments also affect mental health and wellbeing. They actually leave imprints in our brains similar to a concussion or traumatic brain injury. I’m working on solutions. I recently partnered with DU and conducted a screening program for residents in Northwest Aurora. We’re looking to expand it to other parts of the city.  Every resident deserves to live in a community that supports their wellbeing — and I’m committed to making that a reality in Aurora.

Aurora’s City Council has become increasingly polarized in recent years, with members publicly coming into conflict over topics such as police reform, crime control, homelessness, and social justice. What sort of working relationship do you want to develop with council members who don’t share your political views?

Ever since I was elected in 2021, I’ve made efforts to build relationships with my Republican colleagues. It hasn’t always been reciprocated, but I’m not afraid to try. One example I’m proud of is casting the deciding vote to appoint Republican Amsalu Kassaw to the city council, helping him make history as Aurora’s first Ethiopian councilmember. That decision wasn’t about politics— it was about representation and doing what’s right for the city. 

I believe the key to building bridges is through one-on-one conversations and interactions. I think some colleagues are hesitant to do that, especially under the public eye, but it’s the best way to find common ground. We need to create more time for it. 

At the end of the day, political gridlock hurts the people of Aurora the most. Leaders must put aside their political agendas. I will always put people first. 

Q: During the past few years, Aurora’s City Council has responded to the phenomenon of homeless camping by banning camping on public property and stepping up sweeps of encampments. In addition, the city will open a “work-first” regional homeless Navigation Center next year. Do you think the issue of homelessness in Aurora has improved with these changes? 

Homelessness is a complex issue, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Banning encampments or incarcerating unhoused residents are band-aid approaches. They don’t solve the problem— they just move it from one location to another.

There are many contributing factors to homelessness, including aging, lack of access to resources, automation and job displacement, mental health challenges, and even substance use. At the same time, the cost of living and housing continues to rise, while wages remain stagnant. All of these factors create unstable conditions that can push individuals and families into homelessness.

I’m focused on long-term, systemic solutions. I’m currently working with local, state, and national leaders to study effective models that address homelessness and housing insecurity. I’m also pushing to require that current and future developments in Aurora include affordable housing options that meet the needs of residents of various life stages and income levels. Everyone deserves a clean, safe, stable place to call home. I’m committed to making that a reality in our city.

Q:Aurora and other cities in the Denver metro area have recently struggled to respond to increases in certain crimes, including vehicle and retail thefts. To discourage criminal behavior, should the city invest more in social programs (education, job training, etc.), or should it invest more in policing and impose tougher criminal penalties?

I’m a former public safety officer. The solution issue isn’t either/or — we need a balanced approach. At a recent budget hearing, the police chief reported that overall crime in Aurora is down. That’s encouraging, and it shows that our strategies are having an impact. But numbers alone aren’t enough — residents also need to feel safe in their neighborhoods, too. 

Public safety requires accountability, effective policy, and strong investment. We need to balance enforcement — whether that involves addressing retail theft, car theft, expired tags, and violent crime — with laws that deter crime, as well as community engagement and funding programs that prevent crime before it starts. 

Q: After the death of Elijah McClain and other incidents of excessive police force, Aurora’s Police Department agreed to implement a list of reforms to address what the Colorado Attorney General’s Office described as a pattern of racially-biased policing and excessive force. How much progress have Aurora police made toward reform? Have calls for reform gone too far, or are they not ambitious enough?

We need reform, and as a former firefighter/EMT, I take the relationship between our public safety departments and the community seriously. I’ve requested additional data from the Aurora Police Department (APD) to inform solutions. While there’s been progress on some fronts, APD continues to struggle with transparency and training related to bias.

Transparency shouldn’t be limited to external reports — it must also include internal accountability. Since I joined the council, we’ve had three different police chiefs. That kind of turnover makes it even more important for officers,  especially those working directly in our communities or bringing forward innovative ideas, to be able to speak up about what’s working and what isn’t, without fear of retaliation.

I’m committed to ensuring our officers have the resources they need and to rebuilding trust between law enforcement and the community. I did this before in Ward 1 when tensions were high between the community and police. At the Moorhead Recreation Center, a community mural honors a local officer — after police and community came together to work through deep-seated issues. True public safety is founded on trust and strong relationships.

Q: Aurora is grappling with a shortage of affordable housing, with some state officials seeing a need for thousands of additional affordable units to meet demand. What specific steps would you like to see the city take to expand its inventory of affordable housing, or is this an issue best dictated by market forces?

I’m actively expanding affordable housing options for Aurora residents of all ages and income levels. First, I’m pushing for stronger enforcement by more aggressively fining slumlords and holding HOAs accountable for mismanaging properties and communities. I’m also updating outdated zoning laws and building codes that have limited the kinds of housing we can build in Aurora.

I’m proud that a new development in my ward includes housing specifically designed for older adults, with rent set at 80% of the Area Median Income — making it more accessible for residents who are often priced out. I’m also exploring alternative high-quality mobile and manufactured housing communities, which offer additional affordable housing options.

While many housing policies are set at the state level, I’m doing what I can at the city level. Clean, safe, and affordable housing is foundational to a healthy individual and community. This is a priority in my next term.

Grade the performance of President Donald Trump: A, B, C, D, or F.

I give him an F. He lied about his association with Project 2025, but his administration has completed nearly 50% of its policy objectives. He lied about how he would approach immigration, and now he’s mass targeting and terrorizing people because of their color and language. It’s sad to see. I have Mexican heritage; my grandparents came to the United States to serve our country during World War II. Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and I regularly work in the community. Families, even those who are here legally, are concerned about being detained without cause. Trump is more extreme and vindictive than ever. 

Grade the performance of Gov. Jared Polis: A, B, C, D, or F.

I give him a C. Residents in my community believe he has been inconsistent on some issues, which makes them distrust him.  

The lighter side of Ruben Medina

If you had a superpower, what would it be? My superpower would be similar to Professor X from the X-Men. I want to help people unlock their gifts and talents. 

Did you have any New Year’s resolutions? What were they? I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I’m a former athlete, so I’m very goal-oriented and don’t wait for excuses. 

What was the last movie you watched? It wasn’t a movie, but the last thing I watched was the Vikings series. I’m a big history buff. 

What is your least favorite household choe? Laundry. 

What fun fact about you would most surprise people who know you? I competed in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Trials for wrestling. I’ve also coached wrestling at several high schools throughout Aurora, including at Rangeview and Overland. 

Marsha Berzins

Marsha Berzins, a Republican, previously served as the Ward III representative from 2009 to 2021. After stepping down from the city council, she ran unsuccessfully for Arapahoe County commissioner. Berzins is a business owner and a mother. She continues to serve on multiple community boards and commissions, according to her website.

She said that, if elected, she plans to act as a “unifier and to serve everyone in Aurora,” according to her website. 

Her campaign website said she plans to focus on public safety, jobs, the economy and community support. 

She said she plans to continue participating in the local community and meet people where they are.

Berzins’ approach to how she might use her city council power to work with the police includes communication and respect between city council and the police department. She said that respectful dialogue is more effective than criticism and that it should be mutual between police, city officials and the community. 

Setting an example of respect as a city council member is one way she said she can plan to set a standard. 

When it comes to oversight or possible policy changes, Berzins said that under the current city charter, the city council has no direct authority over police operations, which are managed by the city manager. For decades, however, council policy has driven the direction and performance of the department. 

Berzins said she would see the most value in collaborating with the police instead of trying to enforce changes, and stated that she would work to build trust between the police and the community by organizing regular meetings for the two groups to come together and engage in discussions. This would also make city council members and officers more accessible, fostering direct communication. 

Community policing was also an idea that Berzin said could help build trust between the community and the police. She said that positive contact, such as implementing bicycle patrols or exploring new ideas like having officers on golf carts, could help reduce use-of-force incidents and build trust. 

“I believe that the more contact, the more positive contact our officers have with the community, the better we are,” Berzins said. 

A non-partisan oversight committee is another idea Berzins said she would be willing to consider again, but she recalled many of the challenges with previous attempts and noted that there would be a need for genuinely non-partisan members. She said that they would also need oversight, but she wasn’t sure yet how that would be implemented. 

She said that the city council doesn’t always have all of the answers, and she would be interested in asking people in the city for their solutions and ideas as well. 

As far as homelessness and Berzins’ approach, she said she is strongly in favor of the developing Navigation Campus and “work first’ approach. Aurora Mental Health and Recovery will be offering resources for the Navigation Campus. As a member of their board, Berzins said she is confident in the three-tiered system the campus will provide, and she believes the resources will be sufficient and beneficial. 

“Nobody wants to be homeless,” Berzins said. “These counselors will help them. They will help them get their papers back, their driver’s license. If they lost or had to run out without their birth certificates or their social security or whatever, they’ll help them with that. It’s a hand up to help them get back on their feet.”

Her only concern was whether the campus would offer resources to people who want to stay on campus but have pets. Joe Rubino, a city public information officer, confirmed that the campus will be offering resources for people with pets. 

Berzins said she disagrees with arresting homeless people, but she said the camping ban is a “first step” in getting people off the streets. As she has been knocking on doors, she said that many people have complained about the trash encampments left behind, and they have told her they want the city council to take action. 

“I don’t like the idea of arresting them, because I don’t think that solves any problems,” Berzins said. “I don’t know exactly why that was put in place. I can only imagine it’s for the shock value of telling people they can’t live on the street. It’s not safe, it’s not humane.”

Although she does not think it will be the “silver bullet” to answer homelessness, Berzins said she is excited to see where the Navigation Campus goes, and she hopes it works like a charm. 

As things progress, she said she will be prepared to adjust and make improvements as needed. 

In her approach to housing affordability, Berzins said there is a clear need for attainable housing for lower-income workers, as well as for a range of income groups, including those working in local hospitals, the military, and other sectors. 

She said she would work to collaborate with builders and developers to understand their needs and find ways to facilitate their projects, rather than imposing a “one size fits all” mandate. One example she mentioned was considering code changes or exemptions when appropriate. 

Overbuilding was a concern, she said she wanted to prevent, which she said she experienced with condos when she previously served on city council. She said there would need to be careful planning as development continues in Aurora. 

Ward III is also almost fully developed and wouldn’t require much new development in her ward. She did say that she would be interested in finding out what is happening with the Argenta development and she would want to follow up there.

Marsha Berzins Q&A

Q: Why should Aurora voters choose you as their next at-large representative?

I am running for re-election to Ward III City Council because I not only have leadership experience on City Council but I have a vision to make Aurora a safe, affordable and vibrant community for our diverse residents. I will always listen with respect to make common-ground decisions that are right and true. I love the city, have raised my five children in Ward III, and have started and run a business here. I am a strong public servant who believes in empowering others to reach their full potential. I know that by working together for the good of Aurora, we can get much accomplished. Council is a non-partisan position and I intend to keep it that way. Politics should not be part of governing our city and people should always come first. I will always show up and speak out for our residents. 

Q:  What will be your top three legislative priorities if elected?

Crime in Aurora affects all facets of our quality of life. Even though crime is down about 23%, we still have a way to go so that residents will feel safe in their homes, dropping off the kids at school and out shopping. Serving on the Aurora Mental Health and Recovery Board for 20+ years, I will use my knowledge to help our youth, veterans and families. Mental Health should not be stigmatized but treated like a physical ailment. I will work with our professionals to find ways to engage youth to decrease crime. 

Affordability in Aurora should be expected. I want people to be able to live and work in Aurora. Housing is the largest expense most families experience and I will work with builders and developers to help them keep costs down. Being a small business owner myself, I know how hard it is to stay open. I’d like to have regular meetings with all types of businesses to see what they need and how the city can help them. I want to be a watchdog in the city for accountability to monitor how the city spends your hard-earned tax dollars. 

I would like to bring back better respectful communications with residents. When we all listen to each other and communicate, we can work together to get things done for each other and the city. I do not believe in calling names, being negative about each other or violence. 

Q:  What critical issue in your ward would you champion as a city lawmaker? 

Ward 3 has homelessness problems, crime issues, and the Argenta development needs to be completed. Ward 3 residents are concerned with public safety, housing and affordability. I have served the residents of Ward 3 with integrity and answered thousands of constituent requests. Residents can always count on me to be there, speak up with compassion and fight for what is right. Residents have told me they are concerned with quality of life issues, not sports nor entertainment. 

Q: What sort of working relationship do you want to develop with council members who don’t share your political views?

I have already worked with most of them but as I previously stated, being negative and calling names solves no problems. They can depend on me to be honest and responsible. I will listen and deliver results. I believe that partisan politics has no place on city council. City Council should not get involved in federal issues. 

Q: Do you think the issue of homelessness in Aurora has improved with recent changes? If you could implement a program, what would it be?

I do not think letting people sleep on the side of the street is humane. We have all seen the conditions of most of those camps and the debris left behind. 

People who experience homelessness need a warm secure place to sleep and eat, bathe and wash their clothes. The Navigation Center will have mental health counseling and coaches to help them get back up on their feet. There is not one answer to homelessness. People experience the loss of a home for various reasons. Each case is different and should be treated that way. Having a safe space for the unhoused to go is a good first step.

Q: To discourage criminal behavior, should the city invest more in social programs (education, job training, etc.), or should it invest more in policing and impose tougher criminal penalties?

Why does there need to be a choice in social programs or policing? I believe in the “all of the above” approach.  We need to do everything we can to turn people away from crime. This starts in the homes and schools and moves to the workplace. I’d like to see more apprenticeship and mentoring programs, not just recreational programs. All people need to feel self-worth and self-respect. 

•  After the death of Elijah McClain and other incidents of excessive police force, Aurora’s Police Department agreed to implement a list of reforms to address what the Colorado Attorney General’s Office described as a pattern of racially-biased policing and excessive force. How much progress have Aurora police made toward reform? Have calls for reform gone too far, or are they not ambitious enough?

Since the Consent Decree happened just as I was leaving Council, I don’t have any exact facts to share. I know Aurora has changed Police Chiefs a number of times with each Chief changing policies while adhering to the Decree. With any large group of employees (police department) and split second decisions being made every day, I expect there will be mistakes made. Aurora has an oversight board and a Civil Service Commission to also oversee our first responders. I have not been trained in police tactics but know that perception matters. Any fatal mistake is a tragedy. 

Q: Aurora is grappling with a shortage of affordable housing, with some state officials seeing a need for thousands of  additional affordable units to meet demand. What specific steps would you like to see the city take to expand its inventory of affordable housing, or is this an issue best dictated by market forces?

I’m a direct approach person. I believe in one on one meetings with builders to see how Aurora could help them. I believe we need housing in all income levels so our residents can live and work in Aurora. We have a diverse workforce and we need housing for all of them. I want to caution that we should not  overbuild one particular segment of housing. Market forces should always play a role in building.
