2 incumbent conservative candidates lose out in their Aurora City Council re-election bids

Progressive candidates appear to have claimed a decisive majority on the Aurora City Council, signaling a significant shift in political power in Colorado's third-largest city. Unofficial results from Tuesday's municipal election show progressive candidates leading or winning all five open council seats, overturning the current conservative majority.

The progressive sweep is notable in the At-Large race, where newcomers Rob Andrews and Alli Jackson are comfortably leading incumbent conservative candidates. One of those, Danielle Jurinsky, who gained notoriety during President Trump's last campaign, conceded on Wednesday night.

In an interview with CBS Colorado, Andrews emphasized unity in his reactions to the results.

"We are tired of the divisive nature and we want to make sure all of us can come together to solve the problems that have been happening for decades," Andrews said. "I think Aurora has finally decided to elect the people who represent them."
