Ryan Easterling Babin, a candidate for Northglenn’s Ward 3 seat, and incumbent Councilmember Rich Kondo spoke to the city during a meeting as the November council election approaches.

Babin introduced himself as a Ward 3 candidate and described his connection to Northglenn: "Hello Northglenn. My name is Ryan Easterling Babin. I am your candidate for Ward 3 to serve on City Council in the upcoming November election." He said he moved to Northglenn in 2020 and serves as co-chair of the city’s diversity, inclusivity and social equity board. "Everyone's voice deserves to be heard and no part of Northglenn should feel like the other neighborhood," Babin said, adding he favors leadership that "talks to people, not down to them." He closed his remarks by saying it is "time to get rid of self serving politics in Northglenn and start listening to the people."

Incumbent Rich Kondo described his path to the council and the experience he said he would bring if reelected. "People have often asked me why I serve as a council member, and why am I seeking reelection again?" Kondo said, recounting his Navy service and a private-sector career in the life sciences industry. He said he was appointed to a council seat in 2022 and later was reelected. Kondo cited work on public safety, roads, water, environmental sustainability and youth recreation as accomplishments and noted roles representing the city on regional bodies: he identified himself as board secretary at the Denver Regional Council of Governments and board president of the North Metro Fire Rescue District. "There's much work to do to sustain the positive trends that we are on. And for these reasons, I humbly ask for your vote and your support," Kondo said.

The two speakers presented personal backgrounds and general priorities rather than policy proposals or detailed plans. No formal motions or votes were recorded during these remarks.
