House District 60

Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee to serve as the 47th President of the United States. The daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, Harris' election would represent a historic achievement for women and underrepresented communities across the nation.

Born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, Harris attended the historically Black Howard University, then graduating from University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. Harris was elected in 2003 as District Attorney of San Francisco, working to reduce recidivism and combat injustice against vulnerable populations. In 2010, Harris was elected California's Attorney General, winning re-election in 2014 before successfully running for the U.S. Senate in 2016. In 2020, Harris was chosen by now-President Joe Biden to serve as the first woman Vice President of the United States.

During Harris' term in the U.S. Senate, she played a central role in fighting back against Donald Trump's Supreme Court Justice appointments, defending the Affordable Care Act that millions of Americans rely on, and working across the aisle on immigration and criminal justice issues. As Vice President, Harris broke a record number of tie votes to pass critical legislation. Harris has promised to sign in to law legislation restoring the abortion rights protections eliminated by the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is one of the nation's strongest and most effective progressive chief executives. From humble beginnings as a school teacher and 24 years of enlisted military service, Walz has channeled that experience into tireless advocacy for progressive solutions to the problems faced his state and the nation. As Governor of Minnesota, Walz signed free school meals, abortion rights, and universal background checks for gun purchases into law.

Harris' opponent in the 2024 President race, former President Donald Trump, was ruled ineligible by the Colorado Supreme Court for the presidential ballot on the basis of the 14th Amendment prohibition on candidates for office who have engaged in insurrection. This ruling removing Trump from the ballot was invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court, but the finding that Trump had engaged in insurrection was not addressed in their decision. Trump continues to assert that he won the 2020 presidential election despite no evidence to support that claim ever emerging. As President, Trump appointed three far-right Justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, skewing the court's bias for a generation and directly resulting in the repeal of the historic Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing abortion rights. Massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans signed into law by Trump helped result in historic deficits under his administration and his successor. After losing the 2020 Presidential election, Trump's refusal to admit defeat resulted in the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, an event Trump hoped would disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

The 2024 Presidential election represents both the clearest and most important choice for American voters in generations. For the sake of the rule of law and American democracy, Kamala Harris is the progressive choice to be the next President of the United States.
 

Adam Frisch is running for Congress in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, a seat currently held by one of the most controversial members of Congress, Rep. Lauren Boebert, who announced in December of 2023 she would run in the 4th District rather than face Frisch in a rematch after barely winning the race by 546 votes in 2022. Before running for Congress, Frisch served the residents of Aspen and Pitkin County as an Aspen city councilor and the chairman of the Pitkin County financial review committee. Frisch is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in economics.

If elected, Frisch has promised to lead with the priorities of the Third District first and partisan considerations second, and has vowed to represent stakeholders on all sides of the economic and environmental issues affecting Western and Southern Colorado.

Frisch's Republican opponent Jeff Hurd is an attorney with the Ireland Stapleton firm based in Grand Junction and has no experience in elected office. Hurd has expressed support for Donald Trump's anti-immigrant and natural resource exploitation agenda. Hurd was endorsed in the GOP primary by a number of Republican elected officials over Boebert including former Gov. Bill Owens.

The Third Congressional District is drawn with a significant but not insurmountable Republican advantage. Adam Frisch is without question the better candidate to represent the Third Congressional District.

Incumbent Rep. Brittany Pettersen is running for a second term representing Colorado's 7th Congressional District. Pettersen has represented the west Denver suburbs since her original election in 2012 to the Colorado House, then succeeding Sen. Andy Kerr in Senate District 22 in 2019. 

In Congress and her previous career in the Colorado General Assembly, Pettersen has been a leading advocate for criminal justice reform and combating the opioid addiction crisis that threatens communities across the state and nation. Pettersen helped pass landmark Equal Pay for Equal Work legislation which has been modeled in other states. Pettersen was one of the sponsors of the Colorado Option health insurance reform measure intended to reduce premiums on the individual market by up to 20%. In Congress, Petterson has promised to fight for the repeal of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts and a fairer tax policy for all Americans. Pettersen currently serves on the House Financial Services Committee, and is the Vice Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance, and International Financial Institutions.

Pettersen faces a range of minor candidates with little experience. Pettersen's Republican opponent is business owner Sergei Matveyuk. Former state Sen. Ron Tupa, who allied himself with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s failed presidential campaign, is an unaffiliated candidate in this race.

Pettersen is far and away the superior candidate to continue to provide strong progressive leadership to the 7th Congressional District.

Ellen Angeles is the Democratic candidate running for the Colorado State Board of Education to represent Colorado's 3rd Congressional District to replace the outgoing Stephen Varela. Angeles earned a graduate degree from Colorado Mesa University, and has taught K-12 education across the Western Slope.

Angeles' opponent is Republican Sherri Wright, a former member of the Montezuma-Cortez School District RE-1 school board. Wright has said that the Colorado legislature is "overstepping" its authority in protecting children from discrimination.

Angeles is the progressive choice to represent the 3rd Congressional District on the Colorado State Board of Education.

Robert Logan is the Democratic candidate running for the University of Colorado Board of Regents to represent Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. A native of Durango, Logan is a graduate of Fort Lewis College and the Denver Seminary. Logan taught in public schools for a total of 27 years, including 10 years at Durango High School. Logan is running to support CU's 36,000 employees, reduce the cost of higher education on students, and encourage students to consider a career in public education.

Logan's Republican opponent is former state Sen. Ray Scott, who has no experience in public education with a background in the oil and gas industry before running for political office. Scott is perhaps most famous for a lawsuit he settled after unlawfully blocking a constituent on social media. Scott was criticized after using his position as a lawmaker to threaten a business partner after making late payments for products.

Robert Logan is the clear choice to honestly represent Colorado's 3rd Congressional District on the University of Colorado Board of Regents.

Elliott Hood the Democratic candidate running for an at-large (statewide) seat on the University of Colorado Board of Regents. Hood is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Hood currently serves on the Boulder Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Hood is a former fifth-grade teacher who became an attorney for school districts, involved in litigation to defend COVID-19 safety measures and protections against discrimination. Hood served as vice chairman of the Colorado Disability Funding Committee. Hood is running to keep the CU system affordable and fight for the rights of campus workers.

Hood's Republican opponent Eric Rinard is an engineer and graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder, and serves as a board member at the Aspen Ridge Preparatory School charter school in Erie.

Elliott Hood is the recommended progressive choice to serve statewide on the University of Colorado Board of Regents.

Kathryn Green is running for Colorado House District 60. Green grew up on Colorado’s Eastern plains and graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Green is a retired paralegal who has worked in the Denver Legal Aid office and in large corporations such as Marti Marietta’s Government Property Management. Green retired to Fremont County in 2021 and is seeking to serve all HD-60 residents. From support for public education and abortion rights, to fighting climate change and ensuring access to service for veterans, Green will be a progressive voice in the Colorado legislature.

Green is challenging Republican Stephanie Luck. Luck is an outspoken and extreme conservative who espouses Christian Nationalism. She is fervently anti-abortion and supports a restructuring of Colorado family courts in order to dissuade divorce, which would potentially endanger victims of domestic violence and abuse. A gun enthusiast, Luck supports an unrestricted Second Amendment and the expansion of TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights). Luck has also sponsored and supported anti-voting legislation. Luck would be offended to be seen as progressive in any light.

Green is the clear progressive choice for House District 60.

Jeremy Dowell is running in Colorado's 4th Judicial District against incumbent Republican Michael Allen, who won narrowly in 2020.

Dowell is currently a lawyer working to represent youth in the juvenile justice system in the Colorado Springs area. He was motivated to run for office due to concerns with the lack of voter choice and the "one-size-fits-all approach of the current office." He has also expressed a desire to remove political decision making from the prosecution process.

In his time as District Attorney, Allen has focused on prosecuting drug and violent crimes. He touts his record of convictions as the reason voters should choose him.

Dowell is the right choice for progressives due to his commitment to reducing political decision making in the courtroom and careful approach to individual cases.

Kyle Aber is running in Colorado's 10th Judicial District. He has worked as a prosecutor in Pueblo, as well as in the Pueblo City Attorney’s Office. He aims to bring a new perspective and approach to community safety to Pueblo.

His opponent in the race is Kala Beauvais, the chief trial deputy attorney for the 10th District.

Kyle Aber is the progressive choice for Colorado's 10th District District Attorney.
