On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, Apex Park and Recreation District announced preliminary results for the election of three members to the district’s board of directors.

• Liz Tomsula received 382 votes
• Jo Burns received 301 votes
• Lynn Emrick received 279 votes

These three were the top vote-getters in a field of seven candidates. Other candidates were R. Ken Harrell, Jr, who had 273 votes, Bob Loveridge, who had 256 votes, Abby McNeal, who had 250 votes, and Robert Zimmerer, who had 120 votes.

Official results will be announced later in May, due to requirements of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, which mandates a later deadline to receive absentee ballots from uniformed and overseas citizens eligible to vote in the board election. After the official results have been certified, candidates will be notified if a recount is required.

The three newly elected board members will be sworn in at the regular board meeting scheduled for 6:30 pm on May 15 at the Apex Center, 13150 West 72nd Avenue, Arvada, CO.

The two current board members who did not run in this election are President Vicki Pyne and Director Rich Garrimone.
