Dustin Zvonek, the Mayor Pro Tem of Aurora, has announced his resignation from the city council. He will be stepping down at the end of October, one year before his term was set to end. During a recent Aurora City Council meeting, Zvonek shared the news of his departure without delving into the specifics of his decision.
In his brief statement, Zvonek acknowledged that sometimes life throws unexpected challenges our way. After much contemplation and difficult conversations, he has decided that this is the best decision for his family. Zvonek was elected to an at-large council seat in 2021 and also serves as the founder and president of a consulting firm.
During his time on the council, Zvonek expressed his gratitude to his colleagues and the city staff for their dedication and hard work. He specifically highlighted the successes of programs such as Build Up Aurora and the city's work-first homeless initiative. Zvonek also commended his fellow council members for their genuine care and passion for the city and its people, even during moments of disagreement.
Mayor Mike Coffman took a moment to thank Zvonek for his service on the council. He praised Zvonek's extraordinary leadership and expressed that he will be greatly missed.
