About the Progressive Voters Guide
The Progressive Voters Guide is an annual project of ProgressNow Colorado and Fuse Washington. We combined the endorsements of Colorado's leading progressive organizations with research about candidates to give you the information you've been searching for to be an informed voter. More than 2,000,000 people have used the Progressive Voters Guide since 2008, and hundreds of thousands come back each and every election for more of our thorough candidate research and trusted recommendations.
