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.

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse is running for reelection in Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District. Neguse, a lawyer and the son of Eritrean refugees, is the first and so far only Black American to serve Colorado in Congress. Prior to his election to Congress, Neguse served as a University of Colorado Regent representing the 2nd District and a legislative aide under Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff.
Rep. Neguse is the former vice-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and currently serves as Chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, in addition to serving on the Rules, Natural Resources and Judiciary Committees. Neguse advocates for bold progressive policies to address the most pressing issues facing our nation, such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. His priorities to date in Congress have included lowering prescription drug prices, raising workers’ wages, ensuring greater accountability in government, and protecting public lands, which make up over 50% of his district.
In Rep. Neguse's first two-year term in office after election to Congress in 2018, he introduced more legislation than any freshman lawmaker in the country and has had more legislation signed into law than any member of Colorado’s congressional delegation. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Neguse played a key role in holding former President Donald Trump accountable in Trump's second impeachment trial. Before Congress, Neguse fought to expand opportunities for families across Colorado in a variety of roles: as a co-founder of New Era Colorado, the state’s largest youth voter registration and mobilization nonprofit; as a six-term member of CU’s Board of Regents; and as leader of the state’s consumer protection agency for two years.
Neguse is a self-described eternal optimist who will continue to provide Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District with enthusiastic, diligent, and bold representation if reelected.
Rep. Neguse's Republican opponent, Marshall Dawson, is the vice-chairman of the Boulder County Republicans with no elected experience, and is considered a placeholder candidate in a race where Republicans have no realistic chance at winning.
Rep. Joe Neguse has proven himself to be the clear progressive choice for Colorado.

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a lawyer and former Army Ranger who completed three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, is running for reelection in Colorado's 6th Congressional District. In 2018, he defeated longtime Republican incumbent Mike Coffman to become the first Democrat ever to represent this district.
Before serving in Congress, Crow spent years helping veterans like himself who struggled to receive benefits, focusing his work on veteran homelessness and substance abuse issues. Then, during his first term, Crow stepped into the national spotlight as one of the seven impeachment managers who argued for Donald Trump’s removal from office during the Senate trial. Crow made the case that Trump put both Ukraine’s safety and the U.S.’s national security at risk by withholding military aid in exchange for political favors. Today, Rep. Crow is the co-chair of the investigative committee into the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
Crow’s district is the most diverse in Colorado, with 1 in 5 residents being born outside the United States; Crow has said this is what makes his community such a special place to live. He supports protecting DREAMers and passing comprehensive immigration reform and has called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to end its contracts with private prison companies.
Crow has worked on instituting campaign finance reform. The first bill he sponsored, the End Dark Money Act, would prevent mega-donors from being able to hide their political contributions. His other priorities include preventing gun violence, combatting the effects of climate change, ensuring small businesses are able to thrive, and fighting for a bold investment in America’s infrastructure. Crow has been a key vote in favor of major infrastructure, LGBTQ+ rights, and voting rights legislation passed during the Biden administration.
Rep. Crow's Republican opponent John Fabbricatore is a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent running on an almost exclusively anti-immigrant platform. Fabbricatore has been a principal source of misinformation about the presence of foreign gangs in Aurora, which has been amplified by former President Donald Trump and condemned by fellow Republicans in Aurora city government. Fabbricatore hosted a campaign event with Rep. Lauren Boebert and national Republicans in Aurora to further spread false information about crime in the city.
Rep. Crow has served the residents of the 6th Congressional District with distinction and is the clear progressive choice in this race.

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.

The following Judicial Retention selections are taken directly from the Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation, the independent state-funded body that evaluates judges. Statewide and judicial districted commissions spend hours evaluating the overall performance of judges in each of the following criteria: integrity, legal knowledge, communication skills, judicial temperament, administrative performance, and service to the legal profession and the public. The commissions then vote on if a judge either meets performance standards or does not meet performance standards.

Colorado SHOULD extend its Homestead exemption to veterans, injured in the line of duty, who have been federally qualified as TDIU (or classified as having a service-related disability that has rendered them unemployable).
A constitutional measure referred to the ballot by the state legislature, Amendment G would add this exemption to Colorado veterans, who cannot hold steady employment as a result of their service.
Currently in Colorado, seniors (65+), Gold Star spouses, and veterans with a 100% service-related disability, can exempt 50% of the first $200,000 of their home’s value from taxation.
An estimated 3,700 veterans in Colorado who are not otherwise able to claim the homestead exemption would be eligible for the exemption under this amendment in property tax year 2025.
The state reimburses the local governments for all revenue lost as a result of the exemption.
The measure requires a 55% YES vote to pass.
We recommend a YES vote on Amendment G.

Referred by the state legislature, Amendment H creates an Independent Judicial Discipline Adjudicative Board, separate from the Colorado Supreme Court. This independent commission would preside over judicial discipline hearings and impose sanctions. The amendment would make judicial discipline public once formal proceedings begin.

As progressives, we proudly continue to stand with and support marriage equality for all.
Marriage is a basic right, and Colorado’s Constitution SHOULD reflect this right for all state residents. Amendment J repeals the ban on same-sex marriage in Colorado by striking language in Colorado’s Constitution stating that only the union of one man and one woman is a valid or recognized marriage in Colorado.
Repealing the ban is necessary, as the U.S. Supreme Court has hinted at overturning marriage equality in a prior opinion, and the legality of same-sex marriage would then revert to each state.
Amendment J was referred to the ballot by the Colorado State Legislature and requires a 55% YES vote to pass.
We must protect the legality of same-sex marriage in Colorado. We strongly recommend a YES vote on Amendment J.

Amendment K would require citizen initiatives to file their signatures one week earlier. Additionally, judges and justices seeking retention would be required to also file their “Declaration of Intent” one week earlier. Lastly, official text and ballot measure titles would have to be published one month sooner.
Should the measure pass, the Colorado Secretary of State and county clerks would have more time to finalize ballots ahead of printing.

Abortion is health care, and Amendment 79 protects the right to abortion care in Colorado’s constitution.
Amendment 79 ensures that state and local governments cannot block or limit access to abortion care. It removes existing insurance discrimination policies that prevent public employees and Coloradans enrolled in state and local government insurance programs, from having abortion care covered by their health insurance.
Currently, our state’s constitution does not keep the government out of personal, private health decisions, meaning the government can take away our right to abortion with the stroke of a pen.
A YES vote would change the Colorado constitution, recognizing the right to abortion and protecting it from future government interference of this right.
Regardless of the source of one's health insurance, the right to abortion should be protected for all Coloradans. Coloradans should have the freedom to decide for themselves whether to have an abortion, and that right shouldn’t depend on the source of their health insurance or who is in office.
We must end attempts by anti-abortion extremists to ban abortion in the state and even charge women who’ve had abortions with homicide. We can’t let that happen.
Vote YES on Amendment 79 to ensure that abortion remains safe, legal, and accessible for future generations in Colorado.

Amendment 80 is a misleading constitutional measure that would require 55% of the vote to pass. Designed to weaken and divert funds from public education, this amendment seeks to pave the way for taxpayer funded, private school voucher programs.
Programs such as this seek to divert critical resources from already underfunded public schools and funnel them to private schools that discriminate against students and families and do not have to meet state education standards or serve all students.
While pretending to be about school choice, which already exists in Colorado (since 1994), Amendment 80's private education proponents seek to justify book banning and abandon curriculums that include sex education, race, and ethnicity. This amendment also would allow parents to sue schools for following non-discrimination laws and interfere with school activities.
Amendment 80 is dangerous - opening the door for extremists to try to dictate school curriculum for 95% of Colorado’s kids.
We recommend that you vote NO on Amendment 80 and protect Colorado's public schools.

In 2019, voters approved Proposition DD, which legalized sports betting in Colorado and authorized the state to collect up to $29 million per year in tax revenue from sports betting. Proposition JJ proposes allowing the state to keep any sports betting tax revenue above $29 million per year. This already collected revenue would go towards the Colorado Water Plan instead of being refunded to casinos and sportsbook operators.
As a statutory measure, Proposition JJ just needs above 50% of the vote to pass.

Voting YES on Proposition KK supports our most at-risk Coloradans — veterans, youth, and victims of domestic violence and other violent crimes. Proposition KK creates a new state tax on the sale of firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition. This revenue would provide around $39 million each year to fund mental health support for survivors of trauma as well as youth and school safety programs.
These programs would provide critical resources to build resilience for survivors of trauma, support the prevention of crime and gun violence, and help end the cycle of violence.
We recommend a YES vote on Amendment KK.

Proposition 128 is a “scare tactic” initiative aimed to increase state spending on prisons, jeopardize prison safety, and disincentivize educational and mental health programs for inmates.
This measure would require an individual convicted of certain crimes to serve 85% of their sentence before the possibility of parole, up from 75% of their sentence. While the measure claims to be “tough on crime,” it does nothing to actually decrease crime. Rather, Proposition 128, is designed to increase prison populations in Colorado, increase spending, and increase the likelihood of repeat offenses by removing incentives for inmates to participate in education, mental health, and other rehabilitation resources.
We recommend a NO vote on Proposition 128.

Proposition 129 would create a mid-level position called a Veterinary Professional Associate, or VPA. This position, which would require a masters degree, would be allowed to diagnose animals, perform surgeries, and order and perform tests under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
A state would create a credentialing board that would require passage of a national exam and may adopt additional credential and testing requirements.

Proposition 130 would reallocate $350 million of state funds to expand policing in Colorado. Currently, most local police are funded through local and municipal budgets, not from state coffers. The initiative falsely claims to fund first responders, but restricts the funds to local law enforcement only – fire fighters, EMTs, or mental health professionals would not receive a dime.
This measure diverts even more funding to local law enforcement at the expense of other essential services that are proven to increase and support public safety, such as education resources, mental health services, co-responder programs, and community development. The proposed government funding mandated by this measure does not include any oversight and cannot be used for diversion programs.
We recommend a NO vote on Proposition 130.

The supporters of Proposition 131 (former DaVita CEO Kent Thiry and other multi-millionaires) want to make it easier for wealthy candidates like themselves to win in Colorado.
Proposition 131 proposes an “all-candidate” primary for U.S. Senate and House, statewide positions like governor, and the state legislature. It would ask primary voters to choose from all candidates for each of these races, regardless of political affiliation. The top four vote recipients would advance to the general election.
The new voting model would make elections in Colorado more expensive to administer, do away with Colorado’s post-election audit, and is designed to confuse voters and decrease participation.
Proposition 131 would not apply to the Presidential primary.

Jefferson County Measure 1A allows the county to retain and spend the full revenue it already collects without raising taxes or increasing the mill levy rate. These funds will be invested in critical public services, including transportation infrastructure like road and bridge repairs, as well as public safety initiatives such as wildfire mitigation, mental health programs, and crime prevention. The measure does not eliminate TABOR or affect state or federal tax refunds—only county refunds, which have averaged $22 per filer in recent years.

As Denver’s only safety net hospital system, Denver Health is relied upon by many to provide care and services to the Denver community. Since 1860 Denver Health’s mission has been to provide care to anyone regardless of ability to pay. Despite all its efforts Denver Health is in a financial crisis and it is seeking a sustainable annual funding stream by way of Denver sales tax. Denver Health has experienced a significant rise in uncompensated care of over $100 million dollars per year for Denver residents alone. Denver Health is asking Denver voters to vote yes on 2Q, generating a .34% Denver sales tax increase (excluding food, medicine, fuel, diapers and feminine hygiene products) which will provide approximately $70 million per year to Denver Health to allow it to continue providing treatment and services in emergency and trauma care, primary care, mental health, drug and alcohol recovery, and pediatric care.

Denver Ballot Issue 2R asks the citizens of Denver to approve an increase in sales tax in order to fund affordable housing in the area. The tax would be raised to .5%, or 5 cents on every $10. 2R could raise an estimated $100 million each year, leading to the development of over 40,000 affordable housing units in the next decade. The sales tax increase would not apply to many essentials such as food, fuel, medical supplies and some personal hygiene products. Currently, affordable housing is largely funded by the federal government, though Denver has seen a decrease in federal dollars towards housing even as the housing crisis has worsened in Colorado. The measure was proposed by Mayor Mike Johnston and placed on the ballot by the Denver City Council.

Denver Initiative 309, the slaughterhouse ban, unfairly targets a single 70-year old employee-owned business and forces 160 workers out of a company they own. According to a CSU study, thousands of people will lose their jobs up and down the supply chain, from farmers, ranchers and truckers to butchers, restaurateurs and food service workers if this ban passes. Over 160, mostly Latino and Latina employee-owners at Denver’s only slaughterhouse will lose their jobs, benefits, and retirement savings, and CSU estimates the ban could cost our economy up to $861 million and threaten more than 2,700 additional jobs. The cost of a ban will be passed on to consumers due to the additional cost of shipping more of Denver’s food supply from further away–which will also increase carbon emissions and make our food supply chain less sustainable. Banning one business won’t help animals, it will just hurt people.

Denver Ballot Measure 2U seeks to allow more employees collective bargaining rights, which would let them negotiate as part of a union. Currently, only Denver city police, firefighters, and teachers have this right. 2U would extend collective bargaining rights to approximately 7,000 additional city employees should they decide to unionize. Collective bargaining allows employees to argue for things like fair pay, terms of employment, hours, promotions, discipline, and benefits. Allowing unionization often leads to higher pay, more job stability, better protections in the workplace, and increased quality of life.

The following Judicial Retention selections are taken directly from the Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation, the independent state-funded body that evaluates judges. Statewide and judicial districted commissions spend hours evaluating the overall performance of judges in each of the following criteria: integrity, legal knowledge, communication skills, judicial temperament, administrative performance, and service to the legal profession and the public. The commissions then vote on if a judge either meets performance standards or does not meet performance standards.
