Manny Rutinel
CD-8
Website:
https://www.mannyforcolorado.com/
I am my mother’s son. She immigrated to the United States from Latin America as a single mother to give my brother and me a better life. We lived paycheck to paycheck and relied on food stamps and Medicare to make ends meet—the very programs Donald Trump and Gabe Evans are trying to cut. That’s why this fight is personal.
I worked my way through school to afford my education. After serving as an economist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and as a first responder, today I serve in the State House, where I’ve passed legislation to cut child poverty by 40% among 500 other critical bills as a sponsor or co-sponsor. And I’m the only Democrat in this race who voted to protect Colorado’s immigrants from ICE brutality.
While I’ve been fighting for working families, Trump and Gabe Evans are busy doing the opposite. Trump’s corrupt tariffs raise prices on basics like groceries, while their budget plans slash earned benefits like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare to fund massive tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations.
I’m running for Congress to stop them. My focus will be on lowering costs and expanding opportunities.. I’ll cap prescription drug prices, strengthen workers’ rights and unions, and ensure working parents have paid leave, affordable child care, and sick days. My campaign does not take corporate PAC money, and I’ll fight to end billionaire tax cheating and ban stock trading in Congress. Learn more at mannyforcolorado.com/issues.
Joe Neguse
CD-2
Website:
https://joeforcolorado.com/
As a son of immigrants, I’ve seen powerful proof of the American dream at work, and I firmly believe we must do more to expand that dream for generations to come. That’s why I’ve worked hard to deliver real results for the people of Colorado’s 2nd District — strengthening consumer protections and ethics laws, supporting our public schools, protecting our public lands and more. It’s why I’m proud to have taken on the tough challenges in Washington D.C. — from defending our democracy as an impeachment prosecutor, to leading efforts against political corruption. And it is why, above all, I’m committed to putting the people of Colorado first — always.
Eileen Laubacher
CD-4
All my life, I have felt called to serve my country. That call to serve is why, at 17 years old, I raised my right hand at the United States Naval Academy and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. It’s why I spent the next 34 years serving in the Navy, going wherever my country asked me to go across America and around the world.
But Colorado has always been home. It’s where my husband and I raised our five kids, where we built our lives, and where we chose to put down roots. I know what it means to raise a family here: to balance work and kids, worry about the bills, and want to leave your children a community and a country even stronger than the one you inherited.
And it’s why I’m answering the call to serve one more time.
The people of Colorado’s 4th District deserve a representative who works as hard as they do – someone focused on lowering costs, solving problems, and making their lives better. Lauren Boebert has had her chance. She hasn’t delivered. I will.
John Hickenlooper
US Senate
Website:
https://hickenlooper.com/
John took a different path to public office. After being laid off as a geologist, he opened the first brewpub in Colorado. As a small-business owner, John was active in the local community and ran for office because he believed he could bring a different perspective and get things done. At a time when Washington is rife with division, John is the problem-solver we need in the Senate.
State Candidate Information
The following candidates have provided their information to be included on our website. Candidates are not listed in any particular order. The Weld County Democratic Party does not make endorsements of candidates in contested primary elections.
Phil has dedicated his life to the law, justice, and public service. As your Governor he will continue to advance the rule of law, protect our democracy, and promote justice for all. Phil Weiser will continue to defend and protect every Coloradan across the state.
Jenna Griswold
Attorney General
Website:
https://www.jenaforcolorado.com/
Jena Griswold is running for Colorado Attorney General to protect our fundamental rights and freedoms. As AG, Jena will continue standing up to Donald Trump, stand up to corporate polluters, and prosecute ICE agents who break the law. She’ll defend access to reproductive healthcare, and she’ll work to ensure Colorado remains a beacon of justice, freedom, and equality for all.
Jeff Bridges
Treasurer
Website:
https://bridgesforcolorado.com/
Colorado has an affordability crisis. Trump’s cuts and TABOR’s cap are crushing our ability to respond. I’m running for Treasurer to fight back.
Colorado’s Treasurer manages billions of our state’s dollars. Instead of parking them on Wall Street and Washington, I’ll put them to work right here at home:
- Housing that working people can actually afford
- Infrastructure that creates good-paying jobs and a strong economy
- Clean energy that lowers your bills and fights global warming
But that’s easier said than done.
Colorado has one of the most complicated fiscal systems anywhere. Our finances are shaped by revenue limits, federal matches, enterprise authorities, hundreds of cash funds, and TABOR as the cherry on top.
Learning how to work inside that system takes years. I’ve spent the last four doing exactly that as Chair and Vice Chair of Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, the small bipartisan group that signs off on every dollar of our $17 billion state budget.
Over my decade in the legislature, I passed full-day kindergarten, created the nation’s first middle-income housing authority and tax credit, and created the strongest paid sick leave policy in the country—with support from both labor and business. I know how to build the coalitions it takes to invest Colorado dollars in Colorado.
I’m running for Treasurer to make sure your dollars work as hard as you do.
Tommy Butler
House District 50
Website:
https://www.butlerforhd50.com/
My name is Tommy Butler. I am running to represent the good people of HD 50 in the Colorado State House. I am running to build more affordable housing to our state, to fully fund public education, and because you deserve a representative that will make sure Colorado stands up to the excesses of the Trump administration. I have served for the past 6 years on the Greeley City Council, serve on the board of Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity, and run The Greeley Bagel Company with my wife of 13 years, Molly. I have the experience needed to flip this seat from red to blue, and it would be an honor to earn your support.
Jamie Jeffery
Senate District 1
Born and raised in Colorado, Jamie Jeffery has spent over three decades teaching and advocating for better education. As a single mom and homeowner in Lochbuie, she brings real-life experiences and deep community connections. Jamie’s mission is to ensure that every voice in District 1—from urban neighborhoods to rural farms—is represented with fairness and respect.
Mo Dower
House District 64
Website:
http://www.mo4colorado.org
I’m Maureen “Mo” Dower, running to represent HD 64 in the State Legislature. I’m a large animal veterinarian, a former Berthoud Trustee, and above all, a wife and mother of two.
I was raised by frugal parents in semi-rural Pennsylvania, where I developed a strong work ethic and a calling to compassionate care for people and animals. I earned my DVM from Purdue University, moved to Colorado, and started my own equine practice in 1996. My husband, Mike, and I have made Berthoud our home for over 24 years, raising our children here. As Berthoud Trustee and Mayor Pro tem, I championed recreation, campaigning for voter-approved funding that brought the Berthoud Recreation Center to life in 2021.
I’m running because instead of complaining, I’m compelled to do something: address transparency and double taxation in corporate Metro Districts, protect our resources from thirsty and energy-intensive data centers, and stop “Buy and Dry” land purchases, selling our precious water to distant cities.
I’m not going to the Capitol to keep a seat warm. I’m going to get things done for our communities now and for future generations.
Katie Wallace
Senate District 17
Website:
https://www.katieforco.com/
I am running for State Senate to stand up for working people, fight for affordable housing, take on the climate crisis, and protect our civil liberties & democracy. I would be honored to earn your support.
Edie Hooton
CU Regent
Website:
https://www.edieforcu.com/
This is a perilous time for higher education. Trump is attacking academic freedom and cutting research funds. The cost of living is too high for Colorado families, making tuition even less affordable. And unfortunately, the current Regents just raised in-state tuition another 3%.
As a state legislator from Boulder, I fought for higher education funding and greater affordability for Colorado’s students. That’s why CU awarded me “State Legislator of the Year.” As a Regent, I’ll continue the fight to protect higher education funding, academic freedom and university autonomy from a Trump Administration already attacking Colorado.
I will fight to make CU more affordable and to improve our graduation and retention rates. Too many Colorado students can’t afford to attend college or graduate with significant debt. We are failing first-generation students. 45 percent are slipping through the cracks. They’re left with heavy debt and no degree. These students deserve effective retention strategies.
This isn’t just talk. I’ve got real plans on how to realize these priorities. Click the button to learn more.

The Weld County Democratic Party (WCDP) encourages voters to follow the Colorado Democratic Party’s recommendations on the 2026 statewide ballot measures.
YES
Proposition NN
State Public K-12 Education Funding
Without raising taxes, this measure would ask voters to increase general fund K-12 funding by up to 2 percent annually for the next ten years. It would allow the state to retain and spend revenue that it already collects in an amount equal to 2026-27 state K-12 funding, providing stable, predictable funding to keep pace with population growth and student needs. Additionally, it would require a public audit and report detailing how much excess revenue was retained and how it was spent.
Amendment 87
Graduated Income Tax
Initiative #195 replaces Colorado’s flat income tax with a graduated income tax system by striking TABOR’s requirement that all income be taxed at one rate, cutting income taxes for the 97% of working Coloradans making less than $500,000 per year, raising taxes for the wealthiest 3% of individuals and 5% of corporations making more than $500,000 per year, increasing annual state revenue by $2 billion, and dedicating all new funds to K-12 education, health care, and child care as verified by an annual audit. This helps Colorado finally invest in great schools, better roads, and child care – saving working people money and improving lives.
Ballot Issue 7A
Front Range Passenger Rail District
NO
Proposition 135
Prohibit Surgery on Minors in Response to Perception of Sex or Gender
Initiative 110 would prohibit health care professionals from performing any surgery on a minor for the purpose of altering biological sex characteristics, and bar Medicaid and other public funding from covering gender-affirming procedures, overriding parents, doctors, and medical consensus. We should respect each other for who we are and ensure all young people are free to be their authentic selves and access the healthcare they need without government interference.
Proposition 134
Male and Female Participation in School and Collegiate Sports
Initiative 109 would ban transgender kids from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity from kindergarten through college. No kid should be bullied away from sports simply because of who they are. Denying transgender students opportunities to learn leadership, teamwork, self-esteem, discipline, and community through sports harms and discriminates against an already vulnerable population. Safe and welcoming schools help build strong kids, and that includes making sure that the lifesaving power of sports is available to every student.
Amendment 81
Law Enforcement Reporting Requirements to Federal Authorities
This initiative proposes to amend the state constitution to require law enforcement to notify the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within 72 hours of charging individuals suspected of being in the country illegally, specifically if they are charged with violent crimes or have prior felony convictions. Colorado law protects residents by prohibiting local law enforcement from coordinating with ICE, a deliberate policy choice to preserve community trust and due process. Initiative 95 would embed the opposite mandate in our state constitution, requiring officers to report people to DHS within 72 hours of a charge, not a conviction.
Proposition 132
Penalties for Fentanyl Crimes
Initiative 85 aims to significantly increase criminal penalties for offenses involving fentanyl and certain synthetic opiates, including possession. Colorado Democrats believe that drug dealers must be held accountable to the law. However, making possession of any amount of fentanyl a felony, even if someone has no idea fentanyl was in the drug they had, will lead to unintended consequences such as unfair sentencing, an increase in the prison population, and distractions from policies that help people overcome addiction and prevent overdoses.
Amendment 82
Right to Natural Gas
Amendment 83
Constitutional Right to Hunt and Fish

Mail Ballot Voter Identification
