“I’ve owned my own business in Erie for over a decade. Delaney is one of the only candidates who has ever actively approached me about what it’s like to be a small business owner in our town. Her genuine interest in learning what’s great about owning a business in Erie, as well as her desire to understand the bureaucratic roadblocks business owners face with opening and operating a business in our town is surprising and refreshing. Every small business owner I know wants to bring great things to our town, but there are so, so many things that make that difficult. Erie residents want to shop, dine, and do business in Erie, so having someone in our corner who is interested in helping businesses succeed is great for our community.”

Erie is growing, and I think it’s so important to have people making decisions who understand what makes our town special while also planning for its future. I’m excited to see Delaney take this on!

“Erie has always held a special place in my heart. My husband’s family has called Erie home for over 100 years, and our children are fourth-generation Erie residents. As a mom and local real estate business owner, I care deeply about this town, its roots, and the future we’re building for our families. I was genuinely touched when Delaney reached out and asked to sit down together. We instantly connected over lunch, talking about our families, local businesses, Erie’s growth, and what matters most to us as women raising children in this community. I appreciated that she wanted to hear my perspective and took the time to really listen. What I love most is that Delaney doesn’t just talk about supporting our community, she shows up. She’s joining me in hosting an event celebrating women-owned businesses right here in Erie, and that means a lot to me. I believe Erie can continue to grow and welcome new opportunities while honoring its agricultural heritage, protecting our water resources, and preserving the small-town heart that makes it so special. I appreciate that Delaney understands the importance of that balance. I’m proud to endorse Delaney Dreckman for Erie Town Council and excited to see what she can bring to the future of a town my family has loved for generations.”
Sean Kelly
CEO, Kelly Merchant Solutions & Erie Resident
“I’ve met Delaney in person several times at local small business events, Chamber of Commerce meetings, and networking gatherings here in Erie. Those personal connections matter to me. Seeing Delaney show up at our town’s farmers market for the Meet the Candidates event really stood out. She was willing to put herself out there, meet her neighbors, and hear directly from us about what’s important. I appreciated that she came ready to listen rather than push her own agenda. That says a lot to me about how she would approach serving our community. What stands out about Delaney is her commitment to thoughtful growth, responsible spending, and protecting what makes Erie special. Her experience on the Planning Commission and her professional background in land and water rights bring a practical perspective to decisions that will affect our community for years to come. Through my work with Kelly Merchant Solutions and our local chambers, I see how much small businesses and strong relationships contribute to a thriving community. I want Erie to be a place where businesses can succeed, families feel connected, and our kids have opportunities to build a great future. I believe Delaney shares those priorities, and I’m happy to give her my support.”

“I was born at the old Boulder Community Hospital and have resided in Lafayette & Erie ever since. I own three businesses in the area and my sole goal has always been to give back to the community and Erie’s growth. I don’t look at political parties when looking for who to vote for as the right representative, I focus on character and ethics. Delaney has a high standard of both. And after hearing about what her plan is for Erie, it was an easy yes for me. She truly cares about what’s best for Erie, not what’s best for a political party. When I vote, I want to make sure that the candidates represent me, my faith, family values and what that means for my kids and the next generation. I’m proud to support her, and truly believe she will make a difference in Erie.”

“As a husband, father of three young children, coach in the Erie Youth Football League, small business owner, and someone who works closely with local business owners every day, I believe Delaney is the clear choice for District 2. Through my work, I have the opportunity to speak with business owners throughout Erie and hear firsthand about the opportunities and challenges facing our community. Erie is at a critical point in its growth, and we need leaders who understand how to support families, encourage responsible development, and create an environment where local businesses can succeed. Delaney understands that balance. Her background in utilities and real estate gives her valuable insight into the decisions that will shape Erie's future. Just as importantly, she is strongly pro-business and recognizes that small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. She understands that smart growth, thoughtful policies, and a thriving business community all go hand in hand. As a mom raising young children in Erie, Delaney has a personal stake in the future of our town. She is energetic, motivated, and genuinely invested in making sure Erie continues to be a great place to live, work, raise a family, and operate a business. We are fortunate to have someone like Delaney willing to step up and take on the challenging issues our community faces. Public service is not easy, especially during a time of rapid growth and important decisions, but Delaney has demonstrated the commitment, work ethic, and leadership needed to help guide Erie forward. She is willing to tackle tough issues, listen to residents, and work toward practical solutions that benefit the entire community. I am confident Delaney will be a strong advocate for families, local businesses, and the long-term success of our town. That's why I am proud to support Delaney for District 2.”
