Mayor Axmacher Endorses Dennis Strachota for Timnath Town Council
"When I look at the challenges and opportunities facing Timnath today, Dennis Strachota stands out for his thoughtfulness, his professional background and his demonstrated commitment to our town."
"Dennis does not just show up; he contributes. You may recognize him from Town Council meetings, where he consistently provides insightful written and verbal input. His comments are well-researched, thoughtful contributions that have helped shape the dialogue in Town Hall long before he decided to run for office.
Dennis spearheaded the recent citizen’s campaign to support the future recreation center, proving his commitment to Timnath’s future.
With significant professional experience in local government, Dennis understands finance, responsible policymaking, and the long-term planning required to keep Timnath thriving. He won’t have a learning curve; he’ll hit the ground running on day one.
I am proud to endorse Dennis Strachota for Timnath Town Council. He is a thoughtful leader, a professional who understands the system, and a neighbor who truly cares about our town."

The Endorsements Keep Coming
Today, John Garvey, a leading dark sky advocate and organizer of Timnath’s largest running club, joined the ranks of community leaders endorsing Dennis.
“I’ve known Dennis for about two years, spoken with him about various town developments, and coordinated with him on a Together for Timnath event. He stands out for his approachability, diligence, knowledge of Timnath’s developments and governance, and a genuine concern for Timnath’s long-term well-being. He’s capable of attending to the detail-oriented and unsexy aspects of municipal governance, yet he also comes across as open-minded and curious. That combination of qualities is valuable and uncommon.
As someone who’s particularly concerned about environmental stewardship, I think having Dennis on town council will be a win for Timnath.” ∼ John Garvey, DarkSky Colorado, former board chair

Strachota Identifies Smart Growth and Fiscal Oversight as Critical Issues for Timnath
How well Timnath manages its growth and its finances will largely determine its success or failure as a community where its residents are proud to call home. Too often fast-growing communities, such as Timnath, bow to the allure of unfettered residential and commercial development. When that happens, development outstrips a community’s capacity to manage and finance vital services and infrastructure.
With 40 years of experience as a public finance expert and practical experience as a local government executive, Dennis knows what has worked and not worked elsewhere. He has led and supported dozens of elected governing bodies and will immediately bring valuable experience as Timnath’s newest councilmember.

Strachota Asks for Your Support and Involvement
Many people have asked how they can contribute to my campaign. I welcome everyone's involvement as a volunteer, but you won’t find a donate tab on my website. Instead, visit my Get Involved page and volunteer to host a neighborhood get-together, put up a lawn sign, distribute door hangers or post messages of support on social media. Because there will be no other races or issues on the Timnath ballot in April, we must work hard to turn out voters.
