Hi! Angela Thomas returns to answer common questions around the effort to expand the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners from three members to five. While counties like Adams, Arapahoe, and El Paso have five commissioners, none achieved it through a citizen-led petition. That means Douglas County could become the first.

Tune in to hear the very real ways residents can shape the future of Douglas County.

Email me anytime, I’d love to hear from you: emilysuyat@gmail.comAngela’s feedback form - this is how you find out more info, volunteer, and provide feedback on exploring the effort to move to 5 commissioners.
