Tricia Canonico has won Fort Collins District 3 seat, breaking the years-long tradition of conservative representation coming from southeast Fort Collins.
With 55 percent of the votes, Canonico beat Gavin Kaszynski, who, if elected, would have continued the district s conservative voice.
Canonico couldn t immediately be reached for comment after unofficial results were posted. Kaszynski posted a message on his campaign Facebook page congratulating Canonico and wishing her best of success on Fort Collins City Council!
Canonico ran on a campaign built around continuing previous councils work on housing, climate action, equity and child care affordability. She centered her campaign on people, community and economic vitality, saying she had the track record and strong leadership to make things happen in Fort Collins. She adamantly supports the city s climate plan, especially with regard to achieving zero waste by 2024.

Fort Collins City Council District 1 race is the only one on the April 6 ballot with an incumbent facing off against a challenger.
Incumbent council member Susan Gutowsky was elected for a partial term in 2019, a few months after council members appointed her to fill the seat left by county Assessor Bob Overbeck. The other candidate is Nick Armstrong, a small-business owner and president of the Maple Hill HOA. His campaign message is largely focused on neighborhood connectivity and the lack of infrastructure that leaves north Fort Collins largely cut off from the rest of the community.
Gutowsky is pointing to her experience navigating Fort Collins through the COVID-19 pandemic and her history of advocating for environmental issues as clean, safe, livable neighborhoods.
