    Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis

    June 27, 2018 Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis Colorado held its primary election last night, setting the stage for the November general election where Walker Stapleton (R) and Jared Polis (D) will compete to replace term-limited Gov. John Hickenlooper (D). In all the statewide races, substantially more votes were cast in Democratic primary contests than in Republican races. Figures from the secretary of state’s office indicate that, as of midnight, 1,158,700 voters had returned their mail-in ballots, a number that represents more than 30 percent of the state’s total registered voters. Ballots are still being processed, with July 5 being the last day for military and overseas ballots to arrive and the last day for a voter to cure a missing signature or signature discrepancy. Even without the final numbers, it is clear that voter turnout was up significantly from the 2016 primary election when only 21 percent of the electorate participated—an all-time low. This year’s high primary turnout was due in part to Colorado’s new law allowing unaffiliated voters to participate for the first time. Of the 1,158,700 ballots tallied thus far, 280,958 were cast by unaffiliated voters, 412,411 by Republicans and 465,331 by Democrats. Ballots cast in the Democratic primary for governor exceeded those cast in the Republican primary by more than 100,000. This difference was consistent in congressional and state legislative races as well. In a state with voter registration roughly even among Republican, Democrat and unaffiliated voters, this trend is notable and may reflect intensity.

  • 2020 Election Recap

    2020 Election Recap

    2020 Election Recap CO goes blue federally Coloradans overwhelmingly supported the Democratic candidate for President, Joe Biden, and for Senate, John Hickenlooper. Incumbents keep most state seats In our catchment area of Douglas County, Arapahoe County, & the City of Aurora, we have 4 new legislators: Chris Kolker, David Ortiz, Naquetta Ricks, & Iman Jodeh. See page 3 for a full list of our local legislators. Democrats retain state control Democrats will continue to hold majorities in both the House and Senate at the state level. The executive branch is also held by Democratic Governor Jared Polis. A mixed bag on ballot measures Voters approved an income tax decrease, creation of a paid family leave program, and additional oversight of new enterprises. This indicates that Coloradans remain committed to populist values and direct democracy. Check out the Secretary of State's website for a full list of election results. 3 new County Commissioners In Arapahoe County, Commissioner Kathleen Conti lost to Carrie Warren-Gully. Douglas County welcomes George Teal who replaces term-limited Commissioner Roger Partridge. Adams County adds Lynn Baca to the seat vacated by Commissioner Mary Hodge. See all of our local County Commissioners on page 3. What this means for the I/DD world Local funds secured for essential services Coloradans voted to repeal the Gallagher Amendment (Amendment B). This is a big win for our community and other locally funded services like firefighters and schools. Repealing Gallagher prevents the loss of local mill levy funds that support programs, families, and providers in our communities. These funds are critical in meeting outstanding needs for people with developmental disabilities/delays and their families.
