"When I put my hat in the race, some people told me 'Don't do it, Westminster is a conservative city,' is what I was told. It's only 4% Black," said Ezeadi. "So my odds were low."

The last Black councilor to serve on the city's council was Butch Hicks nearly 20 years ago. Hicks served from 1999 to 2005. The city of Westminster is a predominately white area. The actions during the Jan. 6, 2020, insurrection is what motivated Ezeadi to run for council, because he wanted to bring move equity and inclusion to the city he lived in.
