Manny Rutinel
CD-8

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.

Tommy Butler
HD-50

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.

Ballot Propositions
Referred Measure (SB26-135) 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.
Initiative #195 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.
Initiative #110 Prohibit Certain Surgeries on Minors
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.
Initiative #109 Male and Female Participation in School 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.
Initiative #95 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.
Initiative #85 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.
