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.

    Published on University of Colorado (https://www.cu.edu) Home > Briefs Spring 2016 Briefs Spring 2016 [1] May 17, 2016 by Natalie Barry [2] CU Advocacy Day at the Capitol This year’s annual CU Advocacy Day at the Capitol presented by the Office of Government Relations and the CU Advocates program was held January 26. The program showcased student success stories and research achievements while also highlighting state budget challenges and the university’s legislative priorities. CU-Boulder’s MAVEN mission to study the atmosphere of Mars was spotlighted with faculty and students in CU’s aerospace programs. Participants also learned about the success of CU’s system wide Pre-Collegiate Development Program, which serves primarily first-generation Hispanic students around the state. More than 100 advocates and guests participated in the program, including CU President Bruce Benson, CU Regents and CU Denver Chancellor Dorothy Horrell. Several elected officials stopped by to speak with the CU Advocates and guests, such as Senators Jessie Ulibarri (D-Denver), Rollie Heath (D-Boulder) and Representatives Jovan Melton (D- Aurora), Joe Salazar (D-Thornton), and Bob Rankin (R-Carbondale). U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, a CU School of Law graduate, made an impromptu appearance and praised the “top-notch, pioneering research and academics of the University of Colorado.” He encouraged CU Advocates to continue their engagement with government leaders. Following the event at the Capitol, legislators and advocates were invited to a special reception hosted by Marcy and Bruce Benson. Legislators in attendance included Senators Jack Tate (R-Centennial), Vicki Marble (R-Fort Collins), Matt Jones (D-Louisville), Larry Crowder (R-Alamosa), Rollie Heath (D-Boulder) and Representatives Jeni Arndt (D-Fort Collins), Terri Carver (R-Colorado Springs), Yeulin Willett (R-Grand Junction), JoAnn Windholz (R-Commerce City), Dave Young (D-Greeley), Gordon Klingenschmitt (R-Colorado Springs), Janet Buckner (D-Aurora), Bob Rankin (R-Carbondale), and Kevin Van Winkle (R- Highlands Ranch).

  • 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.
