Westword | Aurora City Council
Aurora voters ousted Jurinsky in favor of some fresh faces, one of them belonging to political newbie Alli Jackson. Jackson, a thirty-year-old foster mom who works at Arapahoe Libraries, snagged one of the at-large spots — while Jurinsky and another conservative incumbent lost their seats, and progressives grabbed the council majority. In her campaign, Jackson said she would focus on welcoming immigrants, offering a successful onboarding program and changing the narrative around Aurora spread by national and local politicians and pundits over the last few years.
