Shawna Ambrose
Arvada City Council, District Two
After finishing my enlistment in the United States Army, I chose to live in Arvada because of my family's deep Colorado roots. As a working mom, I’m thankful for what Arvada gives my family: supportive community, beautiful parks, and Arva-Pride.
Decisions made by city council in the next few years will chart our city’s course for decades. With 20 years of service in non-profit leadership, pro-union negotiations, and military service I'm winning the progress we need in office. My priority is making Arvada work for you!

Better Sidewalks
The city is exploring a cost-sharing program to help improve sidewalks across our city to make our neighborhoods safer and more accessible, without placing the full burden on residents
Affordable Homes For Our Workers
The Housing Advisory Committee is looking at creative solutions to support employee and workforce housing because the people who keep Arvada running should be able to live here, too
Senior Focused Housing Options
Council is advocating for housing tailored to our senior residents, which can help open up family homes for younger generations while allowing older adults to stay in the community they love.
Regional Homelessness Solutions
Council is actively engaging with Jefferson County and stakeholders to explore long-term, regional shelter solutions for our unhoused neighbors because everyone deserves dignity and safety.
Honoring Lives Lost To Opioids
I’m working on a meaningful way to commemorate those in our community who have died from opioid overdoses, bringing awareness and compassion to a heartbreaking crisis.
Welcoming All Of Our Residents
I’m committed to making sure every Arvadan feels safe—regardless of their citizenship status. Our community is stronger when everyone feels seen, valued, and protected.
A Safer, More Welcoming Olde Town
Olde Town is the heart of Arvada, and we’re taking steps to enhance safety and security in the area so it remains a vibrant, enjoyable space for all to gather.
Events Coming Up...
City council meets every Tuesday at 6pm - except on the 5th Tuesday of the month and holidays.
I also host monthly coffee meets on the 4th Friday of the month at Heaven creamery - except for the month of April, in which it'll be the third Friday.
What I'm Working On For You
We won because of your support. Let's keep that going.
In an electoral landscape dominated by money, we raised $11,000 - and WON - despite being out-raised 4 to 1.
That means your money is put to good use reaching voters and winning our progressive agenda. Thank you for your support!
