“Anne Keke has been an incredible ally to Democratic elected officials at the legislature. As a school board member, she stands up for our values by fighting for equity and is one of my first calls when I'm seeking community feedback on legislation we consider that impacts teachers and students, immigrants and migrants, and the black community. Her experience and dedication will be a huge asset in the statehouse. I unequivocally endorse Anne Keke for the House District 41 vacancy.”
Rhonda Fields, Arapahoe County Commissioner
“Anne Keke has consistently demonstrated a passion for our Democratic values and serving our community. In addition to her volunteering for Democratic candidates, including myself, she has played a key role in improving Aurora. Anne helped modernize our city charter while ensuring the delicate power balance between the mayor and city council as vice chair of the Aurora Charter Review Committee, and she fights for accountability as a member of the Community Policing Advisory Team. We can count on Anne Keke to stand up for our community. She has my unconditional endorsement and support to represent House District 41.”
Honorable Steve Fenberg, Former Colorado Senate President
“I've known Anne Keke for several years, and in my time as the Senate President, I relied on her as a thought partner for education issues affecting not just Aurora or the immigrant community but all of the students in Colorado. That's why I appointed Anne as the School Board representative for the Accountability Taskforce, and that's why I know she'll be a phenomenal representative for House District 41. I am proud to endorse Anne Keke for the House District 41 Vacancy Committee."

Malcolm Laster, Aurora community member and parent
“Anne Keke's responsiveness, empathy, and compassion have helped to increase my trust and confidence in Aurora Public Schools. When my daughter was having a hard time at school, Dr. Keke was the only board member to respond. She worked with me and my family to quickly connect with the appropriate district staff to resolve our issues. This responsive and compassionate leadership is precisely what we need in our legislature. As a community member and parent, I am honored to support Anne Keke for House District 41.”
April Reedy, Aurora Community Member and Parent
“Anne Keke is a champion for all APS students, including the most vulnerable. The comfort she brings to the parents and students of APS can't be matched. I fully support Dr. Anne Keke for HD 41 so she can bring her experience of giving voice to those who feel their voice doesn't matter and an ear to those who haven't felt heard to the legislature.”
Jimmy Day II, 2023 Colorado Teacher of the Year
“As a dedicated Aurora Public Schools Board of Education President, Anne has been committed to improving our schools and advocating for our students. Dr. Keke understands the challenges our community faces and has a vision for a brighter future. With her passion for education and strong leadership skills, I am confident Dr. Keke will be a powerful voice for our values in the House. Let’s rally behind Dr. Keke in this important journey!”
