Mark Aliff is angling for a second term on Pueblo s City Council to retain the at-large council seat he has held since 2018. As you get older, you want to make a difference in your community and you want to serve, he said.

Aliff officially announced his campaign during the Pueblo County Republican Party s annual Lincoln Day dinner on May 1, advertising his fiscal conservatism, commitment to economic development and resume crowded with memberships on various boards and committees.
