In 2003, Kyle graduated from the University of Denver, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.

In 2005, Kyle graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Masters of Science in Geography.

In 2005 and 2006, Kyle participated in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program. He lived in Kyoto, Japan and worked as a Assistant Teacher of English in two local high schools.

After returning to Colorado in 2006, while working on a PhD program, Kyle taught math and science courses at the Colorado Women's College at the University of Denver.

Kyle and his wife moved to Littleton in 2009.

Since 2010, Kyle has worked as the Outreach Coordinator for the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board at the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

Since 2012, Kyle, his wife, and their two young children live in the Sterne Park neighborhood near Downtown Littleton.

Kyle served on the Littleton Invests For Tomorrow Urban Renewal Authority from 2015 until 2018 and was a participant of the inaugural Littleton Leadership Academy in 2017.

In August 2017, Kyle was selected by Wine Enthusiast as one of the 40 Under 40 Tastemakers in the United States for being "an ambassador for his state’s thriving wine industry. His efforts reflect the diversity and uniqueness of wine in the U.S."

In November 2017, Kyle was elected to a two-year at-large term on the Littleton City Council.

In November 2021, Kyle was elected to a four-year term as Littleton's first directly elected Mayor since Littleton became a home rule municipality in 1959.



Why Kyle?

Hi, I’m Kyle Schlachter. I am proud to be the first directly elected Mayor of Littleton. Littleton is such an amazing place to live. We have an amazingly historic community. We are blessed with treasured architecture from Historic Main Street to the marvelous Mid-Mod Mile of Littleton Blvd. Our history doesn’t just reside in buildings. The people are the heart of our community. Littleton leaders of the past had the foresight to create one of largest urban parks in the country. Because of long-term planning like this, we are able to enjoy unique wildlife, open space, and recreational opportunities that South Platte Park offers. That is the kind of leadership needed to make our city such an amazing place.

Our neighborhoods are the perfect places for parents to raise families, for professionals to make their home base, and for retirees to enjoy the best years of their lives. Our schools are the best in the state, our restaurants are among the tastiest, and our traditions like Western Welcome Week nurture our community spirit. The people of Littleton are passionate and proud of our community, and rightfully so!





The charm and livability of Littleton didn’t just happen by chance. The Littleton we know and love took years of work and planning and the work continues. I want the next generation of Littleton residents to be as proud of their community in 50 years as we are of Littleton right now. I look forward to listening to residents of Littleton and as Mayor I will work to foster a city government that is inclusive, innovative, responsive, and collaborative - just like the people who live here.
