Former Aurora mayor Bob LeGare announced his candidacy for the Ward VI seat on the Aurora City Council in next year’s municipal election, according to Sentinel Colorado.
Campaign focus
LeGare, a retired realtor who has lived in Aurora for 51 years, said the city faces “myriad issues” that can benefit from his long‑time experience and willingness to work collaboratively with fellow lawmakers. He emphasized that “experience taught me that council members can disagree strongly and still treat one another, and the public, with respect,” and added that “Ward VI deserves a representative who can get to work on day one.”
Background
LeGare previously served on the council after an appointment in 1995 and was elected at‑large in two separate tenures. He stepped into the mayor’s office in 2018 after the death of Mayor Steve Hogan and served until 2019, during which he negotiated a $300,000 relocation agreement for residents of Denver Meadows Mobile Home Park. He has also been active on open‑space advisory boards and community media boards.
Election outlook
Current Ward VI councilmember Francoise Bergan is term‑limited, opening the seat. The only other official announcement for the upcoming November council election is a mayoral bid by Omar Montgomery.
