  • Incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet joined the U.S. Senate in 2009 after Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter appointed him to succeed Sen. Ken Salazar after Salazar was appointed Secretary of the Interior by President Barack Obama. Prior to his appointment, Bennet served as Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, presiding over increased student enrollment and graduation rates.

    Sen. Bennet won his first full term in office in the close 2010 election against Rep. Ken Buck. In 2013, Bennet played a key role as a member of the Gang of Eight in the passage of comprehensive immigration reform out of the U.S. Senate. In twelve years of service in the Senate, Sen. Bennet has been a consistent supporter of voting rights, abortion rights, nondiscrimination and LGBTQ+ rights, reducing gun violence, environmental protection and confronting human-caused climate change, and ending the failed War on Drugs.

    Sen. Bennet's signature policy achievement in office came with the March 2021 passage of the Child Tax Credit expansion as part of the American Rescue Plan. The expanded Child Tax Credit resulted in an historic reduction in child poverty for the one-year period in which the program was fully funded. Sen. Bennet's top priority in 2023 is to make the Child Tax Credit expansion permanent. In 2019, Sen. Bennet joined with Republican Sen. Mitt Romney to call for a universal basic income standard for children.

    Sen. Bennet can negotiate with Republicans across the aisle and influence policy with the Democratic Senate majority and the White House. Bennet was the driving force behind President Joe Biden's establishment of a new national monument at Camp Hale and drilling protections in the ecologically sensitive Thompson Divide.

    Sen. Bennet's opponent, concrete executive Joe O'Dea, tried and failed to hide his far-right agenda from Colorado voters. During the Republican primary, O'Dea claimed to be "personally very pro-life," and proudly admitted after winning the nomination that he was a supporter of Proposition 115, an abortion restriction measure that failed overwhelmingly in 2020. Despite this, O'Dea has falsely claimed to be "pro choice" in deceptive campaign ads. O'Dea was proud to claim the support of members of the Trump administration during the primary, then tried to back away from Trump after winning the nomination.

    The contrast between Michael Bennet's record of service and policy wins in the U.S. Senate and Joe O'Dea's empty promises concealing a right-wing agenda could not be greater. Bennet is the clear progressive choice.

  • Incumbent Gov. Jared Polis' record of public service to the state of Colorado goes back over two decades to his election in 2000 to serve as at-large member of the Colorado State Board of Education. After helping found the New America Schools to serve recent immigrant students focused on English language instruction, Polis was elected in 2008 to represent Colorado's 2nd Congressional District, succeeding Mark Udall who was elected to the U.S. Senate that year.

    In the U.S. House, Polis was a strong advocate for health care and immigration reform, serving on the House Education, Natural Resources, and Rules Committees. Polis received an 89% lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters after leading the fight for a variety of important environmental reform initiatives including reducing methane pollution, protecting clean water resources, and addressing the threat of human-caused global climate change.

    Elected to his first term as Governor of Colorado in 2018, Polis quickly went to work with the progressive majority in the Colorado General Assembly to successfully enact a comprehensive agenda of health care reform, inclusive economic development, education funding, anti-discrimination and equal wage protections, and environmental justice legislation. Senate Bill 19-181, a fossil fuel extraction reform measure, fundamentally changed the purpose of Colorado's oil and gas oversight authorities to prioritize public health and environmental protection over industry profits.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, Polis' leadership and deliberate work to minimize partisan conflict with the Trump administration helped the state reduce economic harm while keeping the state's overall death rate from the pandemic well below the national average. Once the threat of the pandemic's spread without vaccines and effective treatments was past, Polis was at the head of the curve nationally in working to re-open Colorado's economy.

    Polis' opponent, University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, is the only remaining statewide Republican elected official after years of losses in recent elections. Ganahl described herself as "The MAGA candidate Colorado has been waiting for," and is by for the most openly pro-Trump candidate on the statewide ballot in Colorado. As CU Regent, Ganahl enthusiastically supported Trump coup plotter John Eastman's paid appointment as the school's "Visiting Conservative Scholar." Ganahl's campaign has employed key members of Trump's former legal team. Ganahl's platform of slashing state revenue while promising to pay for crucial state services has been widely denounced as unrealistic. As governor, Ganahl has pledged to roll back recently-passed legislation protecting abortion rights in Colorado.

    Jared Polis has served the state of Colorado with distinction during one of the greatest period of crisis in the entire nation's history. The choice between Polis and Ganahl's Trump-style bad faith could not be easier. Polis deserves your vote.

  • Incumbent Secretary of State Jena Griswold is an attorney with experience in voting rights and accessibility. Before winning office in 2018, Griswold served as the director of Gov. John Hickenlooper's federal liaison in Washington, D.C. and as an attorney for President Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

    As Secretary of State, Griswold has overseen elections featuring some of the highest rates of voter participation in America, while defending Colorado's gold standard mail ballot election system from repeated baseless attacks from President Donald Trump and election conspiracy theorists. Griswold conducted the initial investigation into a breach of election security by Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters that resulted in numerous felony charges against Peters.

    Griswold's opponent, former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, severely damaged her once-commendable reputation for standing up to right-wing misinformation by campaigning with Republicans who dispute the results of the 2020 elections. Anderson has refused to condemn election deniers who support her campaign, claiming that would “divide or ostracize people.” Less than two years after Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential elections, Coloradans cannot responsibly entrust Pam Anderson and the Party of Trump with control over our elections.

    Secretary Griswold is the clear progressive choice in this important statewide race.

  • Incumbent Treasurer Dave Young is running for his second term as Colorado Treasurer after winning office in 2018. Prior to Young's election as Treasurer, he served as a state legislature representing House District 50 in Weld County. In the legislature, Young served on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and chaired the House Appropriations Committee, some of the most important fiscal posts in the General Assembly. On the JBC, Young worked across the aisle each year to hammer out the state's most important annual piece of legislation, the "Long Bill" general fund budget. In 2013, Young helped communities he represents recover from that year's devastating floods.

    As Treasurer, Young worked closely with Gov. Jared Polis to successfully manage the COVID-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on keeping Colorado's small business afloat during the worst of the crisis and swiftly reopening Colorado's economy once it was safe to do so. Young has also worked to streamline and expedite payments to Colorado property owners under the Great Colorado Payback program.

    Young's opponent is Lang Sias, a perennial candidate for a variety of elected offices in Colorado who most recently lost the election to serve as lieutenant governor under Walker Stapleton in 2018. While serving in the U.S. Navy, Lang Sias attended a pilot's convention known as "Tailhook" in 1991 that resulted in nationwide scandal, with allegations of sexual assault committed against 83 women and seven men. Currently a FedEx pilot, Sias' run for this office is due to its availability, not Sias' fiscal policy experience.

    Re-electing Treasurer Dave Young should be one of the easiest choices on this year's ballot.

  • Incumbent Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is seeking his second term after winning office in 2018. Prior to serving as Colorado Attorney General, Weiser served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Justice Department during the Obama administration. Weiser also served as a senior counsel at the Justice Department Antitrust Division during the Clinton Administration. Early in his career, Weiser served as a law clerk for Justices Byron White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

    As Colorado's Attorney General, Weiser has fought to defend Colorado's historic recent progress on health care reform, protecting consumers from exploitation, anti-discrimination laws and Colorado's gold standard election system. Weiser was a nationwide leader in holding drug manufacturers accountable for their role in the opioid addiction crisis, as well as legal action to forgive the student loans of thousands of victims of predatory lenders and scam for-profit colleges.

    Weiser's opponent is District Attorney John Kellner, who succeeded George Brauchler as Arapahoe County DA after Brauchler lost his race for Attorney General in 2018. Kellner's dishonest attacks on Weiser over Colorado's crime rate ignore the stark increase that has occurred in Kellner's own district during the same period. Kellner has expressed his support for the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, and has promised to "support Colorado law" despite his fellow Republicans' determination to repeal Colorado laws protecting abortion rights.

    Phil Weiser has done an examplary job as the state's chief attorney, and has earned a second term in office.

  • Kathy Plomar has been heavily invested in public education as former President of the Adams 12 Board of Education and former President of the Parent Teacher Organization. Plomar believes in bringing people together with different life experiences to ensure all kids receive an excellent education. Plomar lists three key priorities that will define her work as an at-large State Board of Education member: academic excellence, respecting teachers, and transparency and accountability. Plomar is a solid progressive choice for the State Board of Education.

    The Republican candidate for this seat is Dan Maloit, a parent of three and a medical device sales manager. Maloit recently became involved in politics when he organized for the reopening of schools for full-time, in-person learning in August of 2020, before the development of any COVID-19 vaccines or effective treatments. We recommend voting for Plomar.

  • Until 2022, Colorado's 18th Judicial District was comprised of Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln Counties. The Colorado state Legislature passed House Bill 1026 (HB 1026) in 2020, which split the 18th Judicial District, moving Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln Counties to the new 23rd Judicial District on January 7, 2025. The 23rd Judicial District will include eight judges.

  • Amendment F if passed, would repeal a ban that limited managers and operators of charitable gaming activities (like bingo, pull-tab games, and raffles to fundraise) of making more than minimum wage until July 1st, 2024. Previously, organizations had to exist for a longer amount of time in order to obtain their charitable gaming license - often used to fundraise for the organization.

    This amendment gives state lawmakers and the legislature the authority to determine how long an organization must exist before obtaining a charitable gaming license after January 1, 2025. Currently, organizations must have existed for five years to get a license and Amendment F reduces that time to three years. The forms of charitable gaming listed above in parenthesis are commonly used by smaller organizations and often, women of color led organizations.

  • VOTE YES

    Vote YES to feed all of Colorado's students.

  • Proposition FF would create and fund the "Healthy School Meals for All" program under the Colorado Department of Education. Starting in the 2023-2024 school year, this fund would provide free breakfast and lunch to all Colorado public school students, regardless of income. In 2024-2025, the fund would expand to provide grants for schools to buy local Colorado food, increase wages for employees who prepare and serve school meals, and increase community education and engagement around healthy meals.

    The program is funded by closing a tax loophole for households making $300,000 or more a year. Colorado's flat income tax rate means that the wealthy pay less of their income in taxes than the average Coloradan. This measure creates a fairer tax code by closing loopholes for the wealthiest 5% of Coloradans in a way that benefits every child.

    Research shows that well-fed children perform better academically, have fewer behavioral issues, and develop properly with access to nutritious meals. According to the Colorado Department of Education, 42% of public school students, around 355,000 kids, qualified for either free or reduced-priced school meals. However, the current income threshold for free and reduced-price meals ($51,388 for a family of four) can exclude students facing food insecurity, especially with inflation and a higher cost of living. If passed, this measure will feed every student and remove a daily expense from families' plates.

    Proposition FF creates a fairer tax code, saves working families money, and feeds our kids. We recommend a YES vote.

    Proposition FF - Healthy Meals For All Public School Students

    La propuesta FF crearía y financiaría el programa "Comidas escolares saludables para todos" bajo el Departamento de Educación de Colorado. A partir del año escolar 2023-2024, este fondo proporcionaría desayuno y almuerzo gratis a todos los estudiantes de las escuelas públicas de Colorado, independientemente de sus ingresos. En 2024-2025, el fondo se expandiría para otorgar subvenciones a las escuelas para comprar alimentos locales de Colorado, aumentar los salarios de los empleados que preparan y sirven comidas escolares y aumentar la educación comunitaria y la participación en torno a las comidas saludables.

    El programa se financia cerrando una laguna fiscal para los hogares que ganan $300,000 o más al año. La tasa fija del impuesto sobre la renta de Colorado significa que los ricos pagan menos de sus ingresos en impuestos que el colorado promedio. Esta medida crea un código tributario más justo al cerrar las lagunas para el 5% más rico de los habitantes de Colorado de una manera que beneficia a todos los niños.

    Las investigaciones muestran que los niños bien alimentados se desempeñan mejor académicamente, tienen menos problemas de comportamiento y se desarrollan adecuadamente con acceso a comidas nutritivas. Según el Departamento de Educación de Colorado, el 42% de los estudiantes de escuelas públicas, alrededor de 355,000 niños, calificaron para recibir comidas escolares gratuitas o de precio reducido. Sin embargo, el umbral de ingresos actual para comidas gratuitas y de precio reducido ($51,388 para una familia de cuatro) puede excluir a los estudiantes que enfrentan inseguridad alimentaria, especialmente con la inflación y un costo de vida más alto. Si se aprueba, esta medida alimentará a todos los estudiantes y eliminará un gasto diario de los platos de las familias.

    La Proposición FF crea un código fiscal más justo, ahorra dinero a las familias trabajadoras y alimenta a nuestros niños. Recomendamos un voto SÍ.

    Vote YES for increased transparency and knowledge.

  • Proposition GG would require a tax information table on all ballots and petitions for measures that change any Coloradan’s income tax rate. This table would list the average change in taxes owed for eight income brackets. Any tax changes would be listed with a dollar amount and a plus sign [+] for increased taxes or a negative sign [-] for lower taxes.

    Under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, any measure that increases taxes must start with the total dollar amount raised. But that big, total dollar amount doesn't tell voters how much they, individually, would pay. When taxpayers know exactly how much an initiative would cost them, they can make better-informed decisions about an initiative's cost/benefit. It is vital that voters understand what they are voting for, and this measure only helps to clarify complicated information on how tax policy impacts every Colorado voter.

Esta tabla enumeraría el cambio promedio en los impuestos adeudados para ocho tramos de ingresos. Cualquier cambio de impuestos se enumeraría con un monto en dólares y un signo más [+] para impuestos más altos o un signo negativo [-] para impuestos más bajos.

    Bajo la Declaración de Derechos del Contribuyente, cualquier medida que aumente los impuestos debe comenzar con el monto total en dólares recaudado.

    Vote NO on a tax cut that goes overwhelmingly to the richest 1%.

  • Proposition 121 permanently cuts Colorado's individual and corporate income tax rate from 4.55 percent to 4.40 percent. Colorado's flat tax code means that low income and wealthier Coloradans pay the same amount in percentage of their income, and our rate is too low to adequately fund our schools, and other tax-funded services. Of course, we all want to pay less, but, what is hidden here is that our taxes pay for services like schools, health, and public safety. Colorado schools are underfunded.

    Taxes are unfair and tricky in Colorado. Lower income tax payers pay more in taxes, than wealthier Coloradans do - due to the flat tax rate in Colorado. Colorado also has other limitations on changing taxes due to the limitations of the Taxpayer’s Bill Of Rights, and ranks 35th in state and local tax burden as a percentage of personal income, meaning taxing the wealthy more than lower income and working class Coloradans is really the only direction tax policy should go in Colorado. This measure only changes everyone’s taxes and continues with a flat tax rate - perpetuating the issue that lower income tax payers will pay more in taxes than wealthier Coloradans.

    Proposition 121 - State Income Tax Rate Reduction

    La Proposición 121 recorta de forma permanente la tasa impositiva sobre los ingresos individuales y corporativos de Colorado del 4,55 por ciento al 4,40 por ciento. El código de impuesto único de Colorado significa que los habitantes de Colorado con bajos ingresos y los más ricos pagan la misma cantidad en porcentaje de sus ingresos, y nuestra tasa es demasiado baja para financiar adecuadamente nuestras escuelas y otros servicios financiados con impuestos. Por supuesto, todos queremos pagar menos, pero lo que se esconde aquí es que nuestros impuestos pagan servicios como escuelas, salud y seguridad pública. Las escuelas de Colorado tienen fondos insuficientes.

    Los impuestos son injustos y complicados en Colorado. Los contribuyentes de impuestos sobre ingresos más bajos pagan más en impuestos que los habitantes de Colorado más ricos, debido a la tasa impositiva fija en Colorado. Colorado también tiene otras limitaciones en el cambio de impuestos debido a las limitaciones de la Declaración de Derechos del Contribuyente, y ocupa el puesto 35 en la carga fiscal estatal y local como porcentaje de los ingresos personales, lo que significa que gravar a los ricos más que a los de bajos ingresos y a la clase trabajadora de Colorado es realmente es la única dirección que debería tomar la política fiscal en Colorado. Esta medida solo cambia los impuestos de todos y continúa con una tasa impositiva fija, lo que perpetúa el problema de que los contribuyentes de impuestos sobre ingresos más bajos pagarán más impuestos que los habitantes de Colorado más ricos.

Alcohol delivery has been allowed by liquor stores since 1994, by wineries since 1997, and by grocery and convenience stores since 2019. In 2020, Colorado allowed takeout and delivery of alcohol by bars and restaurants through July 1, 2025.

    Proposition 126 - Third-Party Delivery of Alcohol Beverages

    La Propuesta 126 permitiría a los minoristas de bebidas alcohólicas y a las empresas con licencia de licor, como supermercados, tiendas de conveniencia, licorerías, bares y restaurantes, ofrecer servicios de entrega de terceros para las entregas de alcohol a partir del 1 de marzo de 2023. Similar a la orden temporal que vimos en COVID-19: según esta medida electoral, los bares y restaurantes podrían ofrecer bebidas alcohólicas para llevar y entregar. Si bien la entrega de alcohol suena bien, no tenemos claro cómo esta medida electoral afectará (negativa o positivamente) a nuestros trabajadores temporales, trabajadores con salarios bajos y la fuerza laboral en general.

    En este momento, en Colorado, los minoristas pueden entregar alcohol utilizando un vehículo propiedad de la tienda por un empleado que tenga al menos 21 años. Las licorerías permiten la entrega de alcohol desde 1994, las bodegas desde 1997 y las tiendas de comestibles y de conveniencia desde 2019. En 2020, Colorado permitió la entrega y entrega de alcohol en bares y restaurantes hasta el 1 de julio de 2025.
