"A business consultant, Rice is also a U.S. Army veteran and a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve who has served during peacekeeping operations in Bosnia."
Say "Rice is a business consultatnt, a US Army veteran" etc.
"Rice was elected to the city council of Glendale, Colorado in 1994 and to the post of mayor in 1996 on a platform of developing a "resident-friendly" community in the Denver enclave."
Define "platform".
"Re-elected in 2000, Rice resigned from the post of mayor in 2003 when called up to serve the first of three tours on active duty in Iraq."
Try putting the subject first and then "re-elected in 2000".
"...and his current tour, where from October 2007 to January 2008, where, as an operations analyst, he evaluated Iraqi military and police forces."
Double use of "where".
"Airborne and Ranger qualified, Rice has received the Combat Action Badge, the Expert Infantryman’s Badge, and the Bronze Star."
Again, put the subject first and then the phrase. And what does "Airborne and Ranger qualified" mea?n ("Airborne" leads to a disambig page that does not seem to have anything related to the military)
"The partnership brought several delegations of Iraqis including business leaders, government officials, and scholars. "
Put a comma after "Iraqis".
"Rice earned an associates degree from New Mexico Military Institute in 1987, a bachelor's degree in history from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1989, while an active-duty officer."
Put a conjunction after "1987". And eliminate the comma after "1989".
"Rice is married; he and his wife, Kendall, have three children — twins Harrison and Alexandria, and a younger son, Dalton."
Maybe eliminate the semicolon and put a conjunction instead, to improve the flow.
"Running for re-election, Rice faced opposition from Tea Party member Mike Dunafon in a race that saw uncharacteristically negative campaigning for Glendale, including accusations that Rice used racial slurs and denigrated African-American and Mexican citizens."
"Uncharacteristically negative" is POV.
-- Sethant ( talk) 01:50, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
"Republican Joe Stengel was term-limited in 2006 and could not stand for re-election; both Rice and Republican Matt Dunn sought the seat."
The seat of what?
"Retiring Rep. Stengel resigned shortly before the end of his term because of newly enacted ethics laws; a Republican Party vacancy committee appointed Dunn, to the remaining month of Stengel's turn."
Is this part about Dunn really necessary?
I think you should convert the bullet list to just a paragraph.
Also, the table really throws everything out of wack. You could maybe spin it off into a seperate article and then link to it from the main article.
And take a look at the above comments. They are true as well.Maybe more to come, but this is all for now. Noble Story ( talk) 11:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
"Rice is a business consultant and a U.S. Army Reservist who has served during peacekeeping operations in Bosnia."
Say "...Reservist, and he has served..." Or, try "...consultant, and he has served as a U.S. Army Reservist during..."
"Rice and his wife, Kendall, were married around 1990, and have three children — twins Harrison and Alexandria, born around 2001, and a younger son, Dalton, born in 2005."
Why "around 1990...around 2001"? Are you not sure?
"Among his hobbies, Rice enjoys jogging."
A little trivial, maybe?
"Presently a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserve..."
You just said that in the above paragraph. Redundant.
Something still needs to be done with the table. And, the "Political positions" could probably be expanded. Mention the views he took during his political terms (you mention some in the lead).

I am curious about how the 'founder' of Dismas House is listed as Bob Sylvester. Somehow the info here makes it appear that Dismas House is and was founded by this felon, when in fact Dismas House founder was Father Charles “Dismas” Clark in 1959. I am considering opening an article on Dismas House, since this was the forebearer of the modern halway houses used today. Just hate to see the misconception and the slandererous writing about Dismas House within this article. Anyone else open to re-writing the way we are seeing Dismas House portrayed and/or assisting in the writing of a Dismas House article? Give me a shout Brattysoul ( talk) 16:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Reviewing this article for the new GA sweeps initiative. Most of the information post-dating 2009 in the article is uncited.
