The following document contains the official statewide election results from 2013, the 2014 primary election, and the 2014 general election. You will also find information including voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. My office compiled the results and information from material submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. In 2014, more than 2 million Colorado voters made their voices heard. Colorado once again was a national leader in voter turnout, ranking third in terms of turnout among the voting eligible population. The state also ranks fourth in terms of registration among eligible electors. I hope you find this information useful and informative. Sincerely, Wayne W.

C E E 1 About the Format of this Abstract Results Contained in the Abstract This publication contains the official certified results for the 2013 Odd-Year, 2014 Primary, and 2014 General Elections for all candidates, judicial retention races, and ballot issues certified to the ballot by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Major Changes to Colorado Elections Law Since the publication of the 2011-2012 Abstract, Colorado has begun mailing ballots to all active voters in the state. Prior to 2013, Colorado mailed ballots to voters upon request. Results & Officer Information Reported by the Counties The election results and county officer information in this abstract were obtained from each of Colorado’s 64 counties. The results in this abstract are more accurate than the compiled and totaled returns reported on the Secretary of State’s website immediately after the election because they account for any miscalculations in the totals initially reported by each county. Judicial Officer Information Judicial officer information, including dates of oath and terms of office, was provided by the Office of the State Court Administrator. Registered Voters, Ballots Cast, & Turnout In the results section of this abstract, the column titled “Registered Voters” is the number of registered voters eligible to vote in each contest. The column titled “Ballots Cast” is the number of voters who cast a ballot in each contest. The column titled “Turnout %” reflects the percentage of registered voters who cast a ballot in each contest. The county-level turnout, located at the back of the abstract, is provided using both active voters and registered voters. Colorado statute currently requires that county-level turnout be reported by registered voters. However, prior to 2011, statute required that turnout be reported by active voters. To allow comparison of turnout data throughout the years, we have chosen to provide the turnout data for both active and registered voters. 2 Directory Name Party Home City District Term Salary United States Senators Michael F.

  • April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached You Will Find a Petition
    April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached you will find a petition, signed by over 3,100 Coloradans from over 200 communities, asking you to do whatever you can to ensure that Colorado’s students benefit from our state’s nation-leading economic recovery. You will also find 600 comments and stories, conveying the impact that inadequate education funding is having on schools in Colorado – including those in your district. Please note, for your convenience the signatures are organized by city. The Coloradoans who have signed this petition seek to convey to you the urgent need to repay the debt we owe our students after years of budget cuts. They seek to remind you that there are still decisions that the legislature could make during this legislative session to increase education funding this year and for years to come. The decisions you make – or that you fail to make – in the next four weeks will have a profound impact on the quality of education available to every student in Colorado. We hope you will carefully consider the words, stories and comments attached to this letter as you help determine Colorado’s moral and fiscal path. Thank you for your service and for your attention to the future our children, our state and our economy. To: Governor Hickenlooper and Members of the 70th General Assembly: We are parents, grandparents, educators, businesspeople and community members who have a simple message for you now that Colorado’s rebounding economy is producing revenues above the TABOR limit. Keep the surplus for kids. In bad economic times, Colorado’s kids suffered well over $1 billion in cuts to education.

  • Key Factors to Adopt Paid Family Leave Policies in U.S. States
    KEY FACTORS TO ADOPT PAID FAMILY LEAVE POLICIES IN U.S. STATES Erin M. Abramsohn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Pam Silberman Asheley Cockrell Skinner Gene Matthews Cathleen Walsh Judy Waxman © 2019 Erin M. Abramsohn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Erin M. Abramsohn: Key Factors to Adopt Paid Family Leave Policies in U.S. States (Under the direction of Pam Silberman) In 2019, The United States remains the only developed nation without a paid family leave policy. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) passed in 1993, grants eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year. However, due to eligibility limitations only 60 percent of U.S. workers qualify for FMLA benefits and only about half of those eligible utilize the program. Many also report shortening the length of unpaid leave they take due to financial constraints. As of December, 2018, only four U.S. states offered paid family leave (California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York). Starting in 2020, Washington state and the District of Columbia will both begin offering paid family and medical leave benefits, and beginning in 2021 Massachusetts will also provide paid family leave benefits. Bills have been introduced (but not passed) in 23 additional states. This study examined the question of why two states (California and New York) were able to pass paid family leave policies, while two other states that made multiple legislative attempts (Colorado and Illinois) failed.

  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

Although interest in health policy has not returned to the fever pitch of 2009, when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was under debate, health care issues are more visible than in recent sessions thanks to greater attention on the cost of health coverage and hot-button social issues. That interest, coupled with budgetary pressures and the politics of a presidential election year, make the 2016 session one to watch. The General Assembly remains under split control, with Legislators are asking Democrats holding a three-seat majority in the House themselves who their base and Republicans maintaining a one-seat advantage voters are at a time when in the Senate.

  • Notable Bills to Be Heard in Senate This Week
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb. 23, 2014 Notable bills to be heard in Senate this week DENVER -- The Senate has scheduled the following noteworthy bills to be heard this week. This list is not exhaustive but includes bills that are on topics that have typically garnered public input and media attention. The dates and times may change, so be sure to call and confirm the time and date before covering a bill. HB 14-1079: CAPITAL FOR COLORADO BUSINESSES Sponsors: Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada; Rep. Pete Lee, D-Colorado Springs Second-reading debate, Monday, Feb. 24 at 10:00 a.m. in Senate chambers Access to capital within Colorado continues to be inadequate for the needs of Colorado businesses and entrepreneurial startups. Historically, a gap occurs between funding available from friends, family, and angels and funding available from venture capitalists. One approach to raising capital in Colorado is through limited registration public offerings. This bill allows Colorado businesses to raise $5 million from limited registration public offerings, up from $1 million. HB 14-1077: RESPONSE TO OIL SPILLS Sponsors: Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton; Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen Senate Finance Committee, Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 2:00 p.m. in Senate committee room 354 This bipartisan bill will ensure there is an adequate balance to address environmental response needs by raising the cap on the two- year average of unobligated oil and gas conservation and environmental response funds to $6 million, up from $4 million.

  • 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.

  • Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation 2016 Year in Review
    Advancing the interests of America’s sportsmen and women for 27 years... Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation 2016 Year in Review 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Twenty-eight years ago, a dedicated and passionate group of sportsmen in the U.S. Congress came together to form the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) to protect and advance our outdoor traditions of hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) was formed shortly thereafter in 1989 to serve as the link between the sportsmen’s community and the CSC.
