The race between two attractive, respected, and qualified candidates was something of an oddity in the often dysfunctional 2010 campaign cycle. Staged on the battleground of a competitive district in an electorally relevant swing state, the race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democratic incumbent Betsy Markey was a partisan fight for political momentum. The Democratic Party made inroads in the 4th District by winning the congressional seat in 2008 for the first time since the 1970s. Rep. Markey’s win over Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave was supposed to signal the long-awaited arrival of progressive politics in the district, after Rep.

  • Trustee Advocacy Group Update
    Press Release Draft 1 New Statewide Advocacy Network Connects to Help Higher Ed DENVER – For more than a decade, Colorado has ranked near the bottom nationally in the amount of state support invested in public higher education institutions. A new effort hopes to change that and the college narrative by creating a statewide advocacy coalition that builds awareness about the state’s public higher education system’s challenges and opportunities. Unlike K-12, there has never been an organized effort to have a unified voice advocating for what is in the best interest of public higher education in Colorado. Elaine Berman, an ardent education supporter and former trustee of Metropolitan State University of Denver, is spearheading this initiative after watching the ratio of state funding and student tuition flip over time, so that students are now responsible for two-thirds of the cost of college compared to one-third two decades ago. The Colorado Trustee Network (CTN) is grounded on the premise that board members of Colorado’s public universities value and prioritize higher education. This network is led by a founding committee of Berman, Colorado Commission on Higher Education Trustee Sarah Hughes and one trustee from each public college or university in the state. “There are shared goals and areas of interest that can benefit from a unified “trustee voice” that transcends individual institutions,” said Berman. Ultimately, the network plans to expand membership beyond public institution trustees to former trustees, alumni, community and business leaders, and private university representatives. There are approximately 100 appointed or elected trustees serving on governing boards across the state with little to no opportunity to learn together or discuss common issues facing higher education, let alone to use their collective voices to advocate for the best interests of Colorado’s students.

    Colorado Happens Here October 2008 Volunteer Welcome Packet Table of Contents: Border State Team Contact Info 2 Organizing Principles 2 Your Role as a Volunteer 2 Summary of Possible Jobs 3 Colorado State Information 3 Regional Breakdown / Office contacts 4 Planning for Your Trip 8 Glossary 9 Additional Lodging Options 10 Introduction: Come to Colorado: October, 2008 The 2008 presidential election is the best chance we have to set our country on a new path—and Colorado is where we’re going to make it happen. We have the candidate; we have the support. Our task is to organize our th supporters and volunteers to take action and win on November 4 . Colorado is a challenging, if tantalizing, battleground state. Many journalists and political commentators have recently narrowed their list of critical swing states to just one: Colorado. If Barack can win back all of the Kerry states, just about every combination of states he needs to get to 270 electoral votes includes this state’s 9. Moreover, Colorado is ripe for turning blue. While George Bush won Colorado twice, since 2004 we have elected a Democratic Senator, and both the State House and State Senate are now controlled by a Democratic majority. Still, it will take hard work on the ground and thousands of volunteers to take it home. In Colorado, voters have the unique opportunity to choose between 3 methods of voting: by mail, at early voting sites, or at polling sites on Election Day, November 4 th . Registered voters have until October 28 th to request a mail-in ballot, and many voters have already begun to receive theirs in the mail.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Megan McDermott, Director of Communications Cell: 720-394-3205, [email protected] Applications increase by 28% during third Colorado Free Application Day Students saved more than $2.3 million in waived application fees DENVER, Dec. 10, 2020—Colorado students submitted nearly 57,000 college and university admissions applications during the third Colorado Free Application Day on Oct. 13, 2020, increasing participation from last year’s effort and saving more than $2.3 million in waived fees. See the 2020 fact sheet. Participating institutions received 56,896 applications in total, a 28% increase over last year’s campaign. Colorado State University in Fort Collins (CSU) led with 10,336 applications, followed by CU Boulder (9,053) and the University of Northern Colorado (5,837). Statewide, application submissions are up 24 percent compared to last year for four-year colleges and universities. “We are pleased that so many students saved money with Colorado Free Application Day,” said Gov. Jared Polis, who announced Colorado Free Application day in this video message. “In today’s world, and even more so post- pandemic, Coloradans benefit greatest from getting education or training beyond high school. By removing this cost barrier during an especially difficult economic time, we are making higher education more accessible for students and families, and I am proud our institutions continue to step up and support Coloradans.” By eliminating application fees, Colorado Free Application Day is designed to boost the state’s college-going rate and make progress toward the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s (CDHE) strategic goal to erase equity gaps—the racial disparities in higher educational enrollment and graduation.
