Matthew M. Lunn

I am a public safety executive and married father of two with public policy experience at the federal, state, and local level. Additionally, I serve as the chair of the Town of Parker PROS Commission and on a community-focused non-profit board. I am running to ensure Douglas County has an effective, responsive government for everyone who calls our communities home.

Stonegate

Emily Roth Suyat

I’m a former attorney who spent six years as a leader in the gun violence prevention movement in Douglas County. I believe that everyone deserves accessible information about government decisions that affect our daily lives, which is why I started the podcast Red County, Blue State. I’m running because Douglas County belongs to all who live here, not just a select few.

Horseshoe Ridge

Jason Hamel

As your neighbor, community volunteer, and longtime financial professional, I am concerned about the cost and why Home Rule was added to the ballot. If elected, I will ensure through the charter that our county commissioners put their focus where it belongs, the true needs of our ENTIRE community.

Rowley Downs

October Ann Levy

I’m a former IT specialist, active volunteer, and Secretary of the Parker PROS Commission with a passion for the outdoors. I’m committed to upholding the voter-approved Open Space Fund measure. If Home Rule passes, I’ll work to ensure transparency, honesty, and integrity guide the Charter Commission process.

Trails at Crowfoot

Irene Bonham

I’m a mom, pragmatic community advocate, and nonprofit leader. I’ve spent over 20 years working with mission-driven organizations, helping them communicate clearly, lead responsibly, and stay accountable to the people they serve. Good governance starts with listening, fairness, and transparency. More at irenebonham.com.

Lone Tree

Julie Gooden

I've lived in Douglas County for nearly 35 years. I'm voting NO on Home Rule June 24 because it concentrates too much power in too few hands. But if it passes, I’ll bring my coalition-building experience to ensure transparency, protect our school district and include our community’s voice keeping local government accountable to the people, not politicians.

About DougCo Integrity Alliance

DougCo Integrity Alliance is a coalition of six dedicated residents running for the Home Rule Charter Commission in Douglas County, Colorado, District 1. United by a shared commitment to honesty, accountability, and transparency, we believe local government should reflect the values of the people it serves with representation from every corner of the county.

Every candidate of the DougCo Integrity Alliance opposes Douglas County becoming a Home Rule county, and will vote NO on question 1A on the ballot. But if the initiative moves forward, we believe it is essential to come together as a coalition of like-minded community advocates to ensure the process is transparent, fair, and handled with integrity.

Get Informed

Home rule, if it passes, would give Douglas County the power to write its own charter – a local constitution that could reshape how our county government works and who holds the power. The problem? This process hasn’t been nearly as transparent or community-centered as it should be. Big decisions about our future are on the table, and too few residents even know it’s happening. That’s why we’re stepping up. Because if the voters agree we need to move to Home Rule it needs to be done right – in the open, with integrity, and with your voice at the center.
